Which Mattel executive approved this guy?
He's just Ken...albeit one Mattel discontinued. As part of its satirical yet loving rumination on the legacy of the world's most famous doll, director Greta Gerwig’s box office bonanza Barbie features cameos from several Barbie-adjacent dolls that suffered tragic demises over the decades. Many of these maligned Mattel creations are delightfully infamous.
In one picture, a man in a bright green polka-dot suit jacket, pressed white pants, and white shoes chats with several women. Sugar Daddy Ken boldly took his style one step further than his inspiration by shedding the tie and adding a pink dress shirt. And let's not forget the real life of the party: those luscious gray locks. That alone suggests this Ken is older than his regular counterparts.
The notably protective Mattel tried to dissuade everyone's dirty minds with an official New York Post statement: "He's Sugar's Daddy," the announcement said, "as a reference to the dog." Mattel spokesperson Michelle Chidoni further told ABC, "At the end of the day, this collection is targeted toward adults. While the name of the doll does refer back to the dog, I think people are going to interpret it as they want to interpret it.
