Mattel hosted a 50th anniversary bash for the Barbie doll at a private beach house in Malibu.

Pink was the hue of choice—of course.

Decor included a Warhol and other artwork depicting Barbie.

Repeating rows of Barbie dolls provided eye-catching decor.

Guests picked up signature drinks such as Barbie Doll-icious, Ken's Caiprirosca, Strawberry Blonde, and It's a Pink Thing from an alfresco bar.

A dessert bar featured a giant ice sculpture that evoked the look of a tiered cake.

Ottomans lined the pool, and a gobo channeling Barbie's perspective read, "Welcome to my dream house."

The venue featured views of the Malibu coast.

Copious fabric draped Barbie's bedroom.

A pink carpet welcomed guests.

Some guests had cocktails in the underwater viewing area of the dolphin pavilion; others headed to a tented area with a central bar.

During the cocktail reception, servers passed silver trays of margaritas.

Blue Plate provided catering.

The Flower Firm handled decor, and Frost provided lighting.

Illuminated glass stones gave the bar a watery look.

Bubbly fixtures hung from the ceiling of the dinner tent.

Dolphins appeared on the programs, which were printed on pearly paper.

Dessert was a trio of key lime mousse, chocolate Bavarian with pecan brownie, and mango panna cotta.

On some tables, centerpieces included candles, crystals, and floating orchids.

Sea salt, a plush dolphin, and customized tumblers were included in the gift bag.
