The “Queen of Country” is known for her bold fashion choices, even using her acrylic nails as an instrument on several occasions. She’s mentioned sleeping with makeup on and waking up at early hours to wash her face.
Parton is also known for sporting a blonde wig, which became a trademark of her music career. Now, fans can learn more about this songwriter and her fashion choices, thanks to the upcoming 2023 release Behind The Seams: My Life in Rhinestones.
“I am happy, proud, and excited to present my brand new book Behind The Seams to all of you,” Parton tweeted. “It is my hope that you will enjoy a look at my life in costume and hair, and get to know some of the wonderful people that have helped shape my life and look.”
According to Parton’s website, this memoir highlights memorable outfits, including her “Coat of Many Colors,” the bunny suit on the cover of Playboy, her evening wear at Studio 54, and costumes from her most famous film and TV roles.

Parton even tried her hand at fiction with 2022’s Run, Rose, Run, a thriller created with James Patterson. The novel tells the story of a young songwriter and her journey to stay alive.
The country artist created a book-themed nonprofit — Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a “book gifting program that mails free books to children from birth until they begin school in participating areas,” according to its website.
In 2009, she released the children’s book I Am a Rainbow, which remains available at book retailers like Barnes and Noble and Amazon. Of course, Parton continues to release music, one of her most recent projects being Run, Rose, Run, to accompany her novel of the same title.
