Bold blue hair, warm tan skin and a smile fit for a queen.

Quick answer

The Cleopatra Blythe doll is a custom Neo-size Blythe with bright blue hair, warm tan skin and a matte smiling face. She looks wonderful in white, gold and jewel tones, and amber or brown eye chips make her blue hair glow.

Cleopatra: bold colour and a warm smile.

The Cleopatra Blythe doll is one of our boldest custom dolls. She has bright blue hair, warm tan skin and a matte smiling face, a combination that feels confident, joyful and a little bit royal. Here is what makes her special and how to style her.

What Makes the Cleopatra Blythe Doll Stand Out

  • Blue hair is a statement colour that looks amazing in photos and pairs with gold, white and jewel tones.
  • Tan skin gives a warm glow that makes both bright and earthy colours shine.
  • A smiling face gives her a friendly, open expression, different from the cute and pouty faces.

5 Ways to Style Cleopatra

  1. Royal gold. A white dress with gold trim and a tiny crown.
  2. Ocean breeze. A striped sundress and a straw hat to echo her blue hair.
  3. Festival colour. Bright prints and big earrings.
  4. Night out. A black dress, which makes her blue hair glow.
  5. Cosy autumn. A mustard jumper and brown boots for a warm contrast.

Eye colour idea

Amber or warm brown eye chips look beautiful with tan skin and blue hair. For a magical look, try one pair of glitter chips. Our guide to Blythe eye colours and moods has more ideas.

Caring for Bright Hair

Bright colours stay vivid when kept out of direct sun. Brush gently from the tips upwards, and see our Blythe doll hair care guide for washing tips.

Photographing Cleopatra

Blue hair loves soft daylight. Shoot her by a window in the morning, keep the background simple and warm, and let a gold accessory catch the light. A white or cream backdrop makes her hair look even brighter, while a dark backdrop gives her a dramatic, royal feel. Tilt her head slightly so her eye chips sparkle, and try one photo with her eyes half closed to show off her lids.

My goodness! The dark blue hair is stunning on this doll. I always loved black hair with a blue tint but I never thought of Cleo with pure blue hair.

Blythe Dolls and Ancient Egypt is a fabulous combo. Cleo is stunning and so much potential for further customisation to make her even more unique.
Just love This Is Blythe.
