Celebrity Christie Brinkley has come to the defense of Dolly Parton after the country superstar faced criticism for wearing a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader uniform at the age of 77 during the NFL’s Thanksgiving Day game. Brinkley took to Instagram to express her admiration for Parton, stating that her age should not define her and listing her numerous talents and philanthropy work. Brinkley also congratulated Parton on her latest career achievement, topping the Billboard charts with her 49th solo album.
She even suggested that Parton should consider posing for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, further highlighting her versatility. Broadway star Whoopi Goldberg and Parton’s sister Stella Parton have also publicly supported her fashion choices. Goldberg dismissed the critics and encouraged Parton to continue doing what makes her happy, while Stella defended her sister and criticized those who were negatively commenting on her age. Despite the divided opinions, Parton’s performance and outfit gained attention and sparked conversations among fans and critics alike.
