Mattel Celebration Barbie Special 2000 Edition Doll

Released at the dawn of the millennium, the Special 2000 Edition Celebration Barbie was the first doll in a new series designed to replace the "Happy Holidays" line. It was created to symbolize the holiday spirit of the 21st century with a more sophisticated, "princely" aesthetic. 

​The doll is known for its elegant, shimmering gold-and-ivory theme, moving away from the traditional reds and greens of previous holiday releases.

​The Gown: A lavish, full-length ball gown featuring a shimmering golden bodice and a voluminous ivory taffeta underskirt. The skirt is overlaid with a layer of glittering gold-flecked mesh and accented with delicate snowflake details.  

​The Wrap: Around her shoulders is a white faux-fur collar, adding a luxurious, regal touch.  

​Hair & Makeup: Typically features long, flowing blonde hair. Her makeup includes a sophisticated 21st-century look with darker, "spicy" lips and subtle smoky eyes.  

​Accessories:

​A golden tiara and matching necklace.  

​Gold-toned high-heeled shoes.

​A commemorative snowflake ornament that she holds, which features "2000" printed in the center to mark the millennium.
