In an interview with Women's Wear Daily, the iconic country singer opened up about her love of bold beauty.
"They called this lady 'trash' because she wore too much makeup, big hair, red nails, high heels, short skirts and all of that, but when I was little, that impressed me," the 79-year-old singer said.
"I want to look cheap. That's my look. I want to look a little bit, you know, trashy. I don't mean it in a bad way. I just like that kind of almost artificial look. I like the overdone. I like the bleached hair.
"It doesn't matter what anybody else says. If your mama doesn't like the way you dress, especially if you're a 30-year-old girl, a woman, if somebody doesn't like the way you look … well, say, 'To hell with you. This is me. I'm the one who has to wear this. You're not wearing it.'"
Parton also spoke about her collaboration with Khloé Kardashian's co-founded brand Good American.
Naturally, the collection is called Dolly's Joleans and features bedazzled denim pieces that have a country flair.
