Barbie by Christian Louboutin is a special Barbie doll with slimmer ankles and darker (non-blond) hair. Louboutin has given Barbie several new, glamorous makeovers. In the booklet that comes with the $150 doll you can see Barbie in her various Louboutin incarnations accompanied by (or spied on) by the famous shoe designer.
There are three Barbie by Christian Louboutin dolls. All come in Louboutin shoe boxes with four pairs of Barbie-size red-soled heels. The three dolls will be released separately; the first is the jewel thief-themed Barbie, then, a safari-themed Barbie, and finally, Barbie goes to the Cannes Film Festival.
