Known for her extravagant hairstyles and glamorous image, Dolly has revealed that her wigs have become an integral part of her identity. However, in her book, she also shares a rare look at her natural hair, which is just as stunning.
Recently, Dolly delighted her fans on Instagram by sharing an old photo from 1965 when she joined Monument Records.

While Dolly is not typically associated with tattoos, there have been whispers that she has a collection hidden beneath her clothes. Jennifer Saunders, star of Absolutely Fabulous, once had the pleasure of seeing Dolly’s tattoos up close. During a dinner in Los Angeles, Dolly revealed her beautiful tattoos to Jennifer and her friends. Speaking about the experience, Jennifer said, “She just opened her jacket and showed us, can I say, the most beautiful tattoos.”
Confirming the rumors, Dolly admitted that she does have lovely pastel tattoos that cover her scars.

It’s just another example of Dolly’s unique and beautiful personality shining through.
As Dolly continues to captivate audiences with her music and infectious personality, fans can’t help but be in awe of her inimitable style.
