As part of the Year of Celebrations collection, Mattel released a special edition of Mary-Kate and Ashley dolls to commemorate their 18th birthday. These dolls included themed accessories such as chip art invitations and an 18th birthday banner. They were dressed in replicas of the outfits the twins wore on the red carpet at the Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle movie premiere on June 27, 2003. Notably, this release marked the first time Mary-Kate's doll featured brown hair.
