In Fall 2004 the spotlight was on the exciting new Model Muse body sculpt. In Mattel Barbie Collector catalogs the title is written ModelMuse, all one word.

Model Muse Barbies were introduced by Mattel in 2004. Their features include

• Tilted Hips
• Arched Back
• A Collar Bone
• Model Like Poses

The first Model Muse dolls introduced were Versace Barbie Doll and Versus Barbie Doll. The first collection by Mattel was "Model of the Moment." The first three dolls released were:

"Daria Celebutante"
"Marisa Pretty Young Thing"
"Nichelle Urban Hipster"

All three featured new head molds and were the first introduction to this new and popular body sculpt.
