See Dolly Parton’s Country Style From Way Back Through Photos

ADVERTISEMENT

Over the years, Dolly Parton’s country style has been like no one else’s, examples being her dramatic hairdos, red nails, and a classy wardrobe. The talented “Jolene” singer started out writing songs for others before coming into the limelight with her 1967 debut album, Hello, I’m Dolly.

Dolly’s music made the top spots in charts of the ’70s and ’80s and has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, earning her the title of best-selling female artist of all time. When it comes to style, Dolly is top-notch and particular about it. In an interview with Adam Grant on his podcast, Dolly revealed that people complained about “the way I look and the way I looked then was a country girl’s idea of glam. People wanted me to change, they thought I looked cheap. But I patterned my look after the town tramp.”
