Dolly Parton, the iconic figure known for her glamorous appearance and unique sense of style, recently sat down for an interview with RuPaul. They discussed how they both put effort into 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.
But there is one key difference, as RuPaul pointed out. 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 asked if she wears high heels even while making breakfast. Parton’s response shed light on her unwavering commitment to looking fabulous.
Parton revealed that she believes in being “street ready” at all times. She explained that she doesn’t want to be caught off guard, particularly during emergencies like earthquakes. Being “ambulance-ready” is important to her, in case she ever falls ill. So, she always maintains her makeup and hair, ensuring that she looks her best.
“But I actually do wear high heels most of the time,” Parton added. “Not as high as the ones I wear for show, but I’m little and have to wear heels to reach my cabinets. I also feel more like myself when I’m all dolled up. But don’t get me wrong, I can still be down-to-earth and comfortable in my own skin. I dress up for myself more than anyone else.”
Parton’s commitment to looking good at all times may seem like vanity at first glance. However, it goes beyond that. It stems from her desire to present herself in the best possible light and maintain her carefully crafted image, which she appreciates her fans for. It’s about feeling comfortable and true to herself, even in unexpected situations.
So, let’s applaud Dolly Parton for always being glamorous, always being ready, and embracing her unique style no matter what life throws her way. With her charm and genuine love for her craft, Parton continues to captivate the hearts of her fans, reminding us to stay true to ourselves and shine bright in our own individual ways.
