The 2016 throwback trend is going a bit too far, because it looks like it has even reached Stardoll. Today, we were surprised by the comeback of the 10 HotBuys. 

The HotBuys returned revamped, with a new logo and new shopping bags delivered to our suites when we purchase the items this Friday (wish the bags were available for purchase as well).

I’m not sure if this is a coincidence with the tribute season, but (almost) all of the items are inspired by Prada, making the release feel like a mini tribute. The drop also includes a decor item, the dog, which brings back memories of when Stardoll used to include decor pieces in the monthly HotBuys as well back in the old days. That nostalgic touch was really nice to see.

What do you think about this comeback?

This week’s Superstar gift was uploaded very late on Thursday and it’s the Bella Hadid Chanel Quilted Bag from Celeb Fit, released earlier this month. Go get yours quickly, as we don’t know whether it will be available for the full week (7 days) or if they’ll change it early at the beginning of next week.

Yesterday, the newest addition to Starplaza was a new Pretty n Love collection. 

The collection has a romantic touch, while also bringing in some hints of green mixed with the pink palette. There are a total of 27 new items, but some of them have BP and male versions, which makes the collection looks bigger. I really liked this release, there are so many cute pieces that fit the essence of the store perfectly and they’re very well illustrated. 

What are your thoughts on it? Did you get anything, or is it not really your style?

For the second week of the tribute season, we had the debut of a new brand: MARK GONG. We’ve seen pieces from this brand in the game before, such as in Limited Edition, Runway, and Royalty, and now, for the first time, it gets its own tribute.

The collection has three floors, with items inspired by the SS26, AW25, and AW24 collections. The interior is slightly inspired by the runway set from the AW25 collection. Once again, we have a total of three starcoins items: the Burgundy Leather Sleep Mask Headband on the 1st floor (available in both suite and beauty parlor versions), the White Lace Clutch Bag on the 2nd floor, and the Brown Leather Fringe Scarf on the 3rd floor.

In my opinion, it was great to see a new tribute brand with such well chosen items. At the same time, I’d love to see even more new brands in the future, as well as the return of some familiar ones. This week also includes a special offer item, available with every pack purchase and a free item for everyone who logs in during the week.

What do you think of this week’s tribute?

This Friday’s release is a small Bonjour Bizou collection. 

The items look really pretty and it’s a solid, cohesive collection overall. I love how it brings an autumn preppy vibe, they really nailed the item selection. It’s also great to see that most pieces have both male and female versions of the same look. The two starcoins items look really good as well, I’m glad they’ve stopped putting the less attractive pieces in the sc tag. 

What did you think of this release?

This week’s Superstar gift is the Dior by Galliano Boots from the Phobosa outfit featured in this month’s Stardoll Outfit of the Month window. The item can be claimed on the Superstar page, so don’t forget to grab yours.

Below, you can check a real-life picture of this pair of boots.

It feels like we just got a Celeb Fit last week, which completely confused me when I logged in today and saw a new release but in reality, we’re already at the last Wednesday of January!

For this month, the store window features looks inspired by Sadie Sink, Timothée Chalamet, and Bella Hadid. The selected outfits were: Sadie Sink at the Stranger Things Season 5 premiere, wearing a Prada set (back in November); Timothée Chalamet at the Marty Supreme premiere, wearing a custom orange Chrome Hearts outfit (back in December); and Bella Hadid wearing a Georges Chakra dress, Gucci bag, Emilio Pucci boots and Nour Hammour jacket while walking in Aspen (also back in December).

We didn’t have any looks requested in the Royalty Club that celebrities wore during this month, so I’d say they probably had these ones ready for a while and chose to use this time to focus on the Tribute season releases. but that’s just a guess.

You can see the real life looks worn by the celebrities below:

The winter (summer for some) Tribute season officially started this Monday, and the first brand in line was Chanel, one of the most requested names in the topic that Lisa.Stardoll opened in the Stardoll Royalty club, asking for suggestions for this Tribute season.

The inspired by Chanel Tribute arrived with three new floors and showcases pieces from the Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection (which also inspired the store interior) as well as the Métiers d’Art 2026 collection. I wasn’t very excited about having Chanel this season, but after seeing the collection, I think they made great choices and I’m glad they brought it. Make sure to look at the catalog, as some pieces aren't available to catch in the store floors so you'll have to buy them at the catalog.

There are four Starcoins items available: the Apple Chanel Clutch (by far my favorite piece from the collection) and the Silver Chunky Necklace on the second floor, plus the Leopard Face Printed Hat and Silver Stone Drop Earrings on the third floor.

There’s also a Special Offer item ofc, composed of a top and a scarf, available with the purchase of Superstar or Stardollars packs (including the cheapest pack i think).

What are your thoughts on the first Tribute of the season? Which brands are you hoping to see over the next four weeks?

After a long weekend of Stardoll being up and down, this Monday, to kick off the Tributes season and as an apology for the issues, Stardoll sent a small gift to everyone who logged into the site. The gift was a Chanel Tribute dress, which had previously been announced as the special offer item. Later, they corrected the announcement and revealed the actual offer pieces.

Because of the mix-up, and everything that happened over the weekend, they decided to give the dress away for free and announced it on Instagram. I’m not sure how long it will be available, so if you want it, you’d better log into your account asap.

Below, you can check the real life version of the dress on the runway.

Did you like this surprise gift as an apology for what happened over the past few days?

After a loooong downtime, Stardoll is finally back up and I was able to check out yesterday’s release, a new two-floor The JetSet collection. The store continues the aesthetic we’ve been seeing in recent releases, with fancy and elegant pieces.

Out of the 10 new mannequins, two feature male items, which is great for male dolls, especially since they’re getting two complete looks not long after a full Mr. release dedicated exclusively to them.

The downside is that there are only two Starcoin items: the Feather Crystal Earrings and the Grey Wool Beret. As shown by the star icon on the brand, the store remains exclusive to Superstar (and Royalty ofc) dolls, meaning you need an active subscription to purchase anything from it.

Did you like the store? Are there any pieces you’ll be adding to your closet?

The yearly release of the Spectacular store dropped yeaterday in Starplaza. The collection features 18 new glasses models, each available in two versions: one for the suite and one for the beauty parlor.

The choice of models is… interesting, that’s the best word I can findto desbribe it, but it’s clear that some of them were already created with Carnival in mind. There’s one pair of glasses available for Starcoins, which, in my opinion, is one of the few nice pieces in the store. Still, like most of the others, these items could easily have been included in other store releases instead of being part of an eyewear-only brand.

With the end of the monthly themed jewelry releases under Epiphany, I really thought the Stardoll team would come up with something new to replace it. Instead, we got another jewelry related store, the second one of the year, all within the span of a week. Now we’re left wondering what will fill this gap for the rest of the year.

I honestly don’t know if the item isn’t selling and they decided to give it away to as many dolls as possible or if this was a (not so) funny joke after so many players complained about the outfit being added to last December’s Celeb Fit.

One way or another, if you want to have it, don’t forget to claim yours. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have claimed this week’s gift, since it will probably just collect virtual dust in my closet, as I have no clue (or if it’s even possible) how to make this dress look good.

What do you think about this tacky choice?

This week, Stardoll started releasing items from the only remaining all male store: Mr. 

It has two new floors and I have to say I’m a bit jealous that some of these pieces don’t have female versions. Thankfully, at least the accessories can be worn by female dolls, which were actually my favorite items. Special shout out to the Bow Tied Pois Tie and the Spiked Choker.

There are two starcoin items: the White Tucked Turtleneck and the Striped Wool Sweater. I got both, since they seem to fit female dolls reasonably well and, well, they’re sc, right?

Did you like this release? Have you taken advantage of any of the items, even though they’re fitted for male dolls?

Among the game glitches, today we got a new Limited Edition release. I had to refresh the page several times just to make the shopping window appear in Starplaza, even though the store was already out, but the collection did go live on time according to the countdown on Stardoll’s Instagram. It brought three new floors to the store.

Some items sold out immediately, while others are still available with plenty of copies left, pretty much the new normal for limited releases. I guess this happens because, in the past, items had very few copies and some people used to buy entire collections. Nowadays, players tend to pick only specific pieces they think might gain value later, usually for reselling purposes (spoiler: most recent releases don’t really become valuable rares, with just a few exceptions).

Overall, I liked the release. The pieces are very well illustrated and have real styling potential. I couldn’t stop noticing the D&G Books Bag, especially since we already had a version of this bag years ago in a Dolce & Gabbana Tribute release. This new one looks great, although I think I still prefer the more vivid colors of the older version, but of course, I got this one too.

What are your thoughts on this LE?
