The first of 3 Barbie dolls is on sale now exclusively at Net-a-Porter. 

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof Cat Burglar Barbie, £100, clad in a sexy hooded catsuit, comes with 3 Barbie-sized pairs of shoes - plus a pair of tiny leopard-print boots - in their very own Louboutin boxes.

Watch out for the other 2 special editions to complete the set early next year.
