Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film is blowing up the field workplace, and which means everyone’s obtained Barbie (and Ken and Allan, after all) on the mind.
However whereas many iterations of Barbie seem within the movie, one mega-star Barbie is notably absent: the Beyoncé Barbie. Sure, in 2005, Mattel produced a Beyoncé Barbie as a part of their set of Future’s Youngster dolls—however that is not the one connection Bey shares with the long-lasting doll.
Who can neglect Halloween 2016, when Beyoncé and Jay-Z dressed as Barbie and Ken?

However there’s one other vital second in Beyoncé’s Barbie historical past you may not find out about. Hey Journal factors out that none aside from Blue Ivy Carter, heiress to the Bey-Jay dynasty, has a novel Barbie doll that was actually not bought in any shops.
You see, roughly 10 years in the past, Blue Ivy was set to have a good time her 1st birthday. And as you’ll be able to think about, the primary birthday of the primary little one of Beyoncé and Jay-Z wasn’t going to be a quiet, modest affair. The celebration, described as a “princess-themed, lavish bash held in New York,” featured greater than $75,000 price of pink and white roses and an almost $2,000 birthday cake.
However these prices pale compared to the value of the distinctive present Blue Ivy herself finally obtained: “a diamond-encrusted, one-of-a-kind Barbie.” Hey cites the doll as price $80,000, due to an adornment of “160 glowing diamonds embedded in white gold.”
Although to be sincere, it is Beyoncé and Jay-Z. What did we expect they might do, hit the discount bin?
