Fare thee well, Dolly Parton

A vivid colour studio portrait shows Dolly Parton smiling directly towards the camera against a deep navy background. Her famously voluminous platinum-blonde hair is arranged in cascading curls and an exceptionally high bouffant, framing her face and shoulders. She wears lavender eye shadow, dark eyeliner and glossy pink lipstick. Her fitted dark teal dress is dramatically contrasted by a bright pink ruffled neckline and enormous sheer balloon sleeves, gathered into extravagant tiered cuffs. Both hands rest across her waist, displaying long manicured nails and numerous ornate rings. The saturated pink, teal and platinum palette, theatrical styling and exuberant proportions give the portrait an unmistakably glamorous 1970s country-music aesthetic.
