Barbie: A Fashion Fairy Tale is a computer animated direct-to-video movie and part of the Barbie film series. It was released on September 14, 2010. This is the second Barbie film in which Kelly Sheridan does not voice Barbie; instead, Diana Kaarina takes her role.
The movie starts with Barbie filming a movie called The Princess and the Pea based on the classic story by Hans Christian Andersen, but she is fired when she questions the director's innovations. After reading unkind comments about her on the Internet and beginning to doubt her future as an actress, Barbie receives a phone call from Ken, saying that he wants to break up with her immediately. Advised by her best friends, Teresa and Grace, to get away for a while, Barbie goes to Paris to visit her Aunt Millicent, who runs a fashion house.
Teresa and Grace confront Ken about the break-up, and they all realize that Barbie's arch-rival, Raquelle, made the call, using a recording of Ken reading from a script. Ken sets off for Paris to show Barbie he loves her, but he encounters many problems before getting to her.
In Paris, Barbie learns that, through the machinations of a rival designer, Jacqueline, Millicent has just sold her business. With her new friend, Alice, Barbie meets the wingless but magical beings called flairies, who have the power to add sparkle to any outfit. To save Aunt Millicent's fashion house, which is also the source of the flairies' powers, Barbie and company set up and host a fashion show. During the show, the flairy Glimmer, who always struggled with her magic, finally manifests her powers and transforms Barbie's final outfit into a glittering three-tiered rose pink gown. Ken finally arrives and jumps onto the catwalk to tell Barbie he loves her.
Lilliana Roxelle, Paris's top fashion critic, congratulates them on a spectacular show and invites them to her Black, White, and Pink party that night. Jacqueline finally appreciates their work and also apologizes to everybody for all the trouble she caused and promises to change. Glimmer harnesses her magic a second time and transforms the limousines into beautiful stagecoaches. The story ends after the film studio invites Barbie back, to direct a new film.
