Christian Louboutin thinks Barbie's ankles are "too fat".

The famous shoe designer has created three special versions of the iconic doll as part of her 50th anniversary celebrations but has decided her legs needed a little work.

His spokeswoman said "They're completely wild and even come with mini Louboutin boxes for the shoes. But he found her ankles were too fat."

Barbie needs to wear great shoes because every girl needs to wear great shoes. I guess I always had a little 'girlie side' who liked Barbie.

Earlier this year, Christian - whose shoes retail for up to £1,500 - designed a pair of pumps in the legendary Barbie Pantone 219 Pink, with the shoes making their debut at a special runway show during New York Fashion Week in February.

He said: "Barbie needs to wear great shoes because every girl needs to wear great shoes. I guess I always had a little 'girlie side' who liked Barbie."

Fans of Christian's shoes - which have the famous red soles - include Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker and Katie Holmes, whose three-year-old daughter Suri has several children's pairs.
