2009 marked Barbie’s fiftieth anniversary, with Mattel releasing special-edition dolls like Then and Now Barbie, Generations of Dreams Barbie and maybe essentially the most surprising… Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken.

The doll, which was priced at $82, “exemplifies unbelievable Palm Beach fashion,” based on Mattel. Channeling the tropical flair of designers like Trina Turk and Lilly Pulitzer, Sugar Daddy Ken’s get-up included a green damask print blazer, a pink button-up and white pleated slacks. His golden blond hair has began fading gray, and in contrast to many Ken dolls, he comes with an adjunct: a toy dog on a hot pink leash.

The Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken was reportedly a part of the adult Barbie Collector Line. Nevertheless, the name had a special meaning than one could think.

His posh puppy is where Sugar Daddy Ken actually gets his name from. Ken’s West Highland Terrier is known as Sugar. “He’s Sugar’s daddy, as a reference to the dog,” said the identical Mattel spokeswoman to the Latest York Post in 2009.

Ken’s flamboyant ensemble seemingly references Slim Aaron’s “Palm Springs Party.” Lots of the photographer’s subjects were socialites and celebrities, as reflected in his 1970 shoot on the Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs, California.

On the best, you’ll notice a person whose green and white suit is strikingly just like Sugar Daddy Ken’s.

A younger version of Ken might be featured in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming “Barbie” movie, which can premiere on July 21. Ryan Gosling plays the real-life version of the doll alongside Margot Robbie as the long-lasting Barbie.
