Dolly Parton, the iconic figure known for her glamorous appearance and unique sense of style, has charmed audiences for decades. In a recent interview with RuPaul, they discussed the dedication they both have to maintaining 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.
Despite their similarities, RuPaul pointed out that he gets to take off all the glam at the end of the day, while Parton is always dressed to the nines. In a playful conversation with Parton for Marie Claire, RuPaul inquired if she even wears high heels while making breakfast. Parton, with her trademark wit, shared her reasons for always staying glammed up.
“I have to be ambulance-ready at all times, in case I get sick or something,” she explained.
Parton revealed that she believes in being “street ready” at all times, prepared for any situation that may arise. From unexpected emergencies like earthquakes to unforeseen circumstances, Parton prefers to be proactive rather than caught off guard. While RuPaul sheds his drag persona, Parton maintains her makeup and hair, ensuring that she always looks her best.
“But I actually do wear high heels most of the time,” Parton continued. “Not as high as the ones I wear for show, but being little, I need them to reach the cabinets. And when I’m all dolled up, I feel more like myself. Dressing up is not just for others; it’s for me.”
Parton’s commitment to always looking good comes from her desire to present herself in the best possible light. She appreciates her fans and wants to maintain the carefully crafted image she has built over the years. It’s not just about vanity; it’s about feeling comfortable and true to herself.
Let us applaud Dolly Parton for her timeless glamour and readiness to tackle whatever life throws her way. She serves as an inspiration for all of us, reminding us to be true to ourselves, no matter our age or circumstances.
