In “Yeah…that actually makes sense” news: There is a new collector’s edition Barbie doll that pays tribute to Elton John.

Per the doll’s description, “The Elton John Barbie doll shines bright in a glittery top and flared denim embellished with Elton’s sparkling initials. Her ‘Elton’-embossed bomber jacket features star-printed sleeves and a rainbow-striped hem. Colorful nods to the artist’s iconic style include rainbow-striped platform boots, a bowler hat and sparkly, pink-tinted sunglasses.”

In a statement, Sir Elton said, “Barbie is an icon in her own right, so having her pay tribute to my work and personal style is a real honor. I hope that she inspires fans everywhere to fearlessly pursue their own dreams and limitless potential.

The Elton John Barbie retails for $50 and is currently available for purchase at Amazon.
