Dolly Parton's Best Red Carpet Moments Of All Time

Oh, Dolly. Wearing a flower crown before Snapchat made it popular, Parton won Favorite Country Album for New Harvest, First Gathering.

The queen of country can act, too. She played herself in the movie “9 to 5,” earning nominations for New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture, Best Motion Picture Actress, and Best Original Song. And, in our opinion, the best sequins.

A big night warrants big hair and an even bigger fashion statement. Parton, nominated for Favorite TV Performance and Favorite Female Artist, shows us that it’s possible to combine pearls, sequins, rhinestones, and fur and still look fab.

Dolly took home the Top Song of the Year Award for “I Will Always Love You.” Dolly, we will always love you.

Dolly took home an award for Vocal Event of the Year with her collaboration with Vince Gill on “I Will Always Love You” – and won our hearts in this wedding-day-white getup.

Sleek and sparkly as ever, Parton wore this two-piece black outfit the night she won the CMA’s International Artist Achievement Award.

Before getting glammed up for the Oscars taking place that night, Dolly hit a pre-party carpet in total 00s trend.

Dolly traded in her denim for a red carpet dress fit for a princess. Her song “Travelin’ Thru” was nominated for Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song.

Dolly showed up in this sparkly black suit, and took home a CMA Pioneer Award. 

Dolly returned to the red carpet when the Broadway rendition of “9 to 5” earned her a nomination for Best Original Score, in a cotton candy gown with scaled-back sparkle.

The same night, Parton traded in her pink red carpet dress for an icy blue performance gown, which became one of our hands-down favorite red carpet looks. Did anyone else notice the rhinestone return at this year’s Golden Globes?

In a reception post-performance, Dolly showed up in her third show-stopping getup, years ahead of both the pantsuit and the over-the-knee boot trends.

Dolly performed live in the celebration of Kenny Rogers’s career in this fiery red ensemble; we really can’t wait to see the Second 50 Years special.

What else did you expect her to wear?

Nobody pulls off white sparkles quite like Dolly. She hit the red carpet in another princess gown, looking like royalty (as always).

Dolly changed into another coat of many colors to perform a three-song duet with Katy Perry.
