Some folks roll out of bed looking like they just survived a bar fight but not Dolly damn Parton.

On July 1, the queen herself dropped a glamorous shot online and captioned it with the kind of Dolly wisdom that reminds everyone why she’s the gold standard. “I feel glamorous on the inside so I want to look like it on the outside.” If that ain’t the ultimate Dolly-ism, what is? Fans piled in with comments like “Mission Accomplished” and “You look exactly like you’re feeling Dolly,” and honestly, they nailed it. The woman has been serving up rhinestones and big hair longer than most of us have been breathing, and she’s not about to stop now.

And just to flex her national treasure status, she threw on red, white, and blue sparkle for the Fourth of July, too. One glance at her decked out in stars and stripes, and you know she’s the living embodiment of God Bless America with a wink.

But Dolly’s sparkle isn’t just for the cameras. In a chat with RuPaul, she revealed she keeps the glitz alive at home, too. Heels every day. Makeup and wigs, you bet. Why? Because in her words, she’s gotta stay ambulance-ready. Tornado. Earthquake. Unexpected trip to the ER. Dolly Parton will be out there in full glam, giving the paramedics a show they’ll never forget.

And it ain’t just about the clothes and the hair. It’s about feeling as good on the outside as you do on the inside. Dolly says she dresses for herself first and foremost. She’s tiny, so the heels help her reach the cabinets, but they also remind her of who she is. The self-made rhinestone legend who built Dollywood donated millions for vaccine research and still takes the time to crack jokes about her boobs on live TV.

If you ever wondered what happens to all those legendary outfits, Dolly’s got that covered, too. She’s a recycling queen. The iconic looks get worn again, auctioned for charity, or end up in her museum for fans to gawk at for decades to come. Nothing goes to waste, not even the sequins.

Dolly Parton is the rare icon who never took herself too seriously but never half-assed the look either. There’s a reason people lose their minds when they see her in public. She’s consistent. She’s the glammed-up fairy godmother you wish would swing by your front porch and pour you sweet tea and life advice in equal measure.

So next time you feel like lounging around in sweats, think about Dolly strutting around her house in high heels just to fry bacon and eggs. Think about her staying street-ready at all times. Not because she’s got something to prove to anyone else, but because it makes her feel right.

In a world where so many artists chase the next big thing, Dolly just keeps being exactly who she’s always been. Bigger than life, sweeter than pie, and glamorous as all get out. May we all have half that shine inside and the guts to rock it on the outside, too.
