For Barbie’s 50th birthday, she received the best gift any woman could ever imagine (almost): a pair of Louboutins:) Mattel has teamed up with the illustrious shoe designer. The project includes the Barbie-pink, red-soled Louboutin shoes that premiered in Barbie’s birthday runway show during New York Fashion Week in February, a Barbie doll and accessories collection customized by the designer and a diary filled with images of Louboutin and Barbie as they explore the cobbler’s favorite things. The designer created three Barbie dolls: a jewel thief-themed Barbie, which will release in December, a safari-themed Barbie for February, and a Barbie that goes to the Cannes Film Festival for May.

The $150 dolls will be sold through BarbieCollector.com and at Net-a-porter.com. Both sites also will offer a Christian Louboutin Barbie shoe collection of 12 pairs for $40 a set. The diary, which comes with the jewel thief Barbie and is also sold separately for $40, is titled “My Year in Paris With Christian Louboutin.” Launching in December, it features photos of the doll shopping with Louboutin in his boutique, on a journey down the Nile, performing at the Moulin Rouge and in a cafe with a male doll that is decidedly not Ken.

More after the jump.
