The country legend began her trip down fashion memory lane with her 1974 album cover for Jolene, one of her most famous records of all time.

The ’70s were relatively toned down for Dolly, but her signature glamour began to take form in the Dreaming of a white Christmas Shameless sweatshirt besides I will buy this ’80s. Parton recalls attending the premiere of her film 9 to 5 in 1980 and being completely new to the red carpet experience. She enlisted the film’s costume designer, Ann Roth, to make a dress for her, resulting in an embroidered, strapless pink gown with a matching fur stole. “I remember feeling really pretty,” Parton says. “That was probably the first time that I ever felt fashionable.” During the ’80s, Parton hosted her own variety show called Dolly, and she continued to turn out glitzy, theatrical looks—always in collaboration with Dolly’s costume designer Tony Chase. She recalls a 1987 episode with Oprah Winfrey. “I remember us loving our outfits,” she says of their glittery gold dresses. “Tony was always trying to put me in all these clothes that had these big ol’ shoulders—I said, ‘Tony, you gotta tone it down a little. There ain’t nothing big about me but my mouth and my boobs!’”
