Dolly Parton is the country singer renowned for always oozing glamour.
The 76 year old never fails to wow with her elaborate hair styles and outfits, and she once said: "If I hadn’t been a girl, I would’ve definitely been a drag queen."
Dolly has an iconic hair piece that she wears – which is something she'd always yearned for when she was young.
Once the star started signing record deals and becoming the household name we know and love today, she made sure to get her hands on a blonde hair piece.

Dolly wrote in autobiography, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics: "I always wore my hair all teased up. Whenever that style started, I was the first to get my hair all poofy. Then as soon as I could buy those hairpieces and wigs, I wanted them."
Dolly has described wearing hair pieces as "handy" as opposed to showing off her own hair.
"Plus my hair would never do exactly what I wanted it to. So the wigs became kind of my trademark," Dolly shared.
Dolly's natural locks are fair, and she's shown them off in the past, in a black and white photo taken in 1965.
The star can be seen singing into a microphone with her gorgeous swept back locks on show.
Dolly, who has a staff who looks after her wigs, penned: "In case you're wondering, yes, that's my real hair."

As well as being a fan of her blonde and beautiful wigs, Dolly also has a penchant for tattoos.
And the Tennessee-born star is covered in them – one inking appears like a flower on the chest between her breast.
The star once told Q Magazine that she also has butterflies, ribbons, bows and a beehive tattooed.
Dolly said: "Butterflies don’t sting, they don’t bite, and they are so beautiful, and I just kind of related to them with my own personality. I claimed them as my little symbol.
"Most of my tattoos came because I’m very fair and I have a tendency to scar when I get any kind of cut.
"I’ve had surgeries for different things, and if the scars didn’t heal properly, I just gotta put tattoos to take the sting out."
Dolly turned 76 on January 19 and celebrated by recreating a stunning outfit from the 1970s.
"Just hangin’ out in my birthday suit!" she penned as she posed in a pink outfit, looking as glamorous as ever.
