Whether she’s wearing head-to-toe rhinestones or a candyfloss pink fairytale gown, Dolly Parton always turns heads in her iconic outfits. Here, we take a look back at some of her most iconic fashion statements.
“Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”
So said Dolly Parton – as in, yes, the country music legend, actor, and philanthropist – and there’s no denying that she’s lived by her own wise words ever since she first performed before the public at the tender age of 10.
Parton, though, has also said that she’d “never stoop so low as to be fashionable,” and here’s where we disagree with her.
Why? Because fashion, at its heart, is an artform in being true to oneself. It’s an opportunity to play dress-up, to express yourself through the clothes you put on your body, to experiment, and to have fun.

And so, with this in mind, we’ve decided to take a whirlwind tour through some of her best and most fabulous looks to date.

Sparkle and shine
Honestly, every single outfit from Parton’s Pure And Simple tour is iconic, but we’re big fans of this sparkling rhinestone dress (with fringed sleeves, no less!).
