La Reine de la Nuit was a Barbie released for attendees of the 2013 National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention, designed to embody some of the design characteristics of New Orleans, that year's host city - and inspired in no small part, I believe, by the Queen of the Night from Mozart's The Magic Flute.
Designed by Raphael Estrada and Joseph Kenyon under the brand Edge of 17, the doll came in both a light skinned and AA variant, though it is notable that in addition to having different skin colours, they do also have different facial design.
Being a convention exclusive, these dolls are in extremely short supply, but I personally like them a lot. The knee/thigh high lace stockings are a very nice touch.
