It has crossed the bon ton of the 60s, the psychedelics of the 70s, the kaleidoscopic 80s, the essential 90s and arrived in the third millennium never deviating from its paved road of glitter and sequins. Directly from the countryside of Tennesse, where she was born on January 19, 1946, armed with plateaus, acrylic nails, tons of makeup, explosive décolleté and dizzying platinum hairstyles (signature who has never betrayed) Dolly Parton she arrived on the roof of the world and sprinkled it with glitter, which is never enough on her. Half woman, half tipsy, for his reflective looks more than a supernova that illuminate red carpets, screens and stages for five decades, on the threshold of 75 years to get off his heel 12 and retire from the scene has no desire.

Ed it is during the Christmas period that Dolly gives the best of herself. If you haven’t seen them yet, the Chistamas therapy this year plans on Netflix the musical Christmas in the city with Dolly Parton (in which the artist is an angel and for which he wrote 14 brand new songs) and above all the documentary about her (wonderful, really) Here I Am, which shows, beyond wild backcombing and avalanches of rhinestones, lace, beads and fringes, a very intelligent and tenacious woman, with a feminist DNA, an atomic creative with over 3 thousand songs to her credit (you know she is the author of I will always love you, brought to success by Whitney Houston?) and 47 albums (the latest is Holly Dolly Christmas recently released).

“I’m a blonde but don’t think I’m stupid, because this stupid blonde doesn’t get fooled”, she sings in the first hit single of 1966, Dumb Blonde. A real Dolly Parton meteorite, with a decidedly noticeable impact on fashion. It is no coincidence that Alessandro Michele depicted her on a pink jumpsuit from the Gucci Spring / Summer 2019 collection.

How to define his style? More is less, no doubt. Gorgeous is restrictive. And to think that “I never thought of myself as a fashionable person,” she said long ago. But its very rich look archive country glamour denies it. A typical Dolly look presents giddy hair, a stretch line and lots of bling bling. Its color palette ranges from yellow to red, from green to black and white, ranging from animal prints, tartans and polka dots, as long as they always sparkle. And then pink, very pink, a nuance that has characterized some of her most legendary outfits such as the strapless lace dress with matching fur, designed for her by costume designer Anna Roth. Parton wore it for the premiere of From 9 to 5, cult film of 1980 in which he starred with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.

After all, she wrote it herself in a tweet: «I feel glamorous inside and I want to show it outside too». Like her ageless looks, too Dolly Parton is an evergreen capable of still inspiring the younger generation in music, fashion and beyond (just look at his goddaughter Miley Cyrus).

Before recovering all his discography and filmography during the holidays, in gallery stock up on glitter with her party outfits right away and the shopping she would love too. Dolly, we will always love you.
