Christine Quinn wants to look like Barbie, aims for doll’s ‘flawless aesthetic’
Christine Quinn is a Barbie girl.
The former “Selling Sunset” star, 34, is known for her gorgeous blond locks and fabulous fashion — and in a new interview with Allure, she revealed that her similarities to the Mattel doll aren’t an accident.
“It’s always some variation of a Barbie, whether it’s golf Barbie, or it’s Sharon Stone Barbie, whatever Barbie it may be at that point in time,” she said of her style inspiration, adding the famous doll “has just this flawless aesthetic that I always strive to.”
The model and real estate agent — who left “Selling Sunset” this summer ahead of the show’s upcoming Season 6 — shared her beauty routine with the magazine, admitting that despite her love of the doll, she has “such a love-hate relationship with [her] blonde hair.”
“I’ve been bleaching my hair for years, since I was probably 14 or 15,” she said. “And with that comes damage.”
Due to the stress on her locks from styling “every day, if not two times a day” while filming “Selling Sunset,” Quinn said she switched to using “high-lift color,” which lightens without bleach and uses Nutrafol’s “Hair Growth Nutraceutical” (from $79).
The former reality star, who once revealed her glam costs “$1,000 a day,” shared a few other go-to products she uses to achieve her Barbie aesthetic with Page Six Style, including “a good lactic acid two or three times a week” — she favors Sunday Riley Good Genes ($85) — and Shani Darden’s Retinol Reform ($88).
When it comes to aging, Quinn — who famously hosted a “Botox and Burgers” event in Season 3 to get people in the door of a home — said, “unfortunately, I can’t do anything about it, but thank God for Botox and fillers.”
Multiple sources confirmed to Page Six this summer that Quinn would not be returning to “Selling Sunset,” with one stressing that the California blonde’s “goals are far bigger than playing a villain on an ensemble reality series.”
Indeed, Quinn told Allure it was “definitely fair to say” she was more focused on modeling in her post-“Sunset” life, with the former Oppenheimer Group realtor having landed a contract with IMG Models and brand relationships with the likes of Balenciaga and Marc Jacobs.
