Pink high-heel wearing Barbie is no more. Resident badass Barbie has arrived.

Legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath (who was responsible for Fashion Week beauty at shows like Givenchy, Prada, Diane von Furstenberg, Kanye West's Yeezy and Dolce & Gabbana to name a few) has collaborated with Barbie's official Instagram, @BarbieStyle, to create four new makeup looks for the doll during Paris Fashion Week.

For those who are unaware, Barbie has been chronicling her jetsetting adventures on her Instagram to over a million followers. Most recently, before her makeovers, she was attending New York, London and Paris Fashion Weeks.

Because Barbie wouldn't settle for anything less, McGrath's first look was made using Swarovski crystals and inspired by Givenchy's face jewelry.

For the second transformation, Barbie received a punk rock makeover -- including a septum ring and jeweled lip -- based on a McGrath creation at the 2013 Met Gala.

The third includes heavy blue and yellow eyeshadow, similar to the look McGrath created for an i-D magazine cover in 2004.

The fourth look, mirroring McGrath's vision from last Fall's Versace show, will be posted tomorrow. Until then, you can continue to follow Barbie as she wanders through Paris with her mini Celine bag.

Bonjour Paris! So much fabulousness planned for the week ahead! #pfw #barbie #barbiestyle A photo posted by Barbie® (@barbiestyle) on Sep 30, 2015 at 1:03am PDT
