The second most searched was Emma Mackey’s “physicist Barbie”, with an increase of 600% over the past month alone. 

“Lawyer Barbie” searches surged 420% after Sharon Rooney's character in the upcoming film was revealed as an attorney.

Fans were disappointed to find that Mattel, which sells dolls in many other professions, does not currently offer a Lawyer Barbie.
