50 Photos of Dolly Parton's Iconic Style
Dolly Parton, the iconic American singer, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 80. In celebration of her life, a gallery of 50 photographs highlights her flamboyant and theatrical fashion sense, which was as memorable as her music. From her early career, Parton cultivated an image characterized by platinum blonde wigs, high heels, tight dresses, push-up bras, long nails, and heavy makeup. Despite criticism early on, she never changed her style, proving that one need not be serious to be taken seriously. Her song "Backwoods Barbie" reflects this philosophy, with lyrics that address being misunderstood based on appearance and asserting that her look is simply a country girl's idea of glamour.
