Dolly Parton: A Timeless Icon
Dolly Parton, the legendary country singer and songwriter, is known not only for her mesmerizing voice and heartfelt lyrics but also for her glamorous appearance and unique sense of style.
In a recent interview with RuPaul, another iconic figure in the entertainment industry, they discussed their efforts to maintain their carefully crafted looks. While Parton always dazzles in glittering outfits, complete with high heels and a wig, RuPaul is fashion-forward both in and out of drag.
Always On Top of Her Game
Despite their similarities, RuPaul pointed out an intriguing difference. At the end of the day, he gets to take off all the glam, while Parton is always dressed to the nines. In a playful conversation with Parton for Marie Claire, RuPaul jokingly asked if she wears high heels even while making breakfast. Parton’s response sheds light on why she always stays glammed up.
Parton revealed that she believes in being “street ready” at all times, emphasizing that she doesn’t want to be caught off guard, particularly during emergencies like earthquakes.
She explained that her commitment to looking fabulous at all times goes beyond vanity. Parton wants to be “ambulance-ready” and prepared for any situation.
The Art of Being “Street Ready”
“But I do wear high heels most of the time,” Parton continued. “They’re not as high as the ones I wear for show, but I’m short and need heels to reach my cabinets.” When I’m dressed up, I also feel more like myself. But don’t get me wrong: I’m still down-to-earth and at ease in my own skin. “I dress up more for myself than for anyone else.”
Parton’s commitment to looking good at all times stems from her desire to present herself in the best possible light. She appreciates her fans and wants to maintain her carefully crafted image, showcasing her dedication even in unexpected situations.
For Parton, it’s about feeling comfortable and accurate to herself, expressing her personality through her style.
