Only Dolly could turn losing a look-alike contest — of herself — into one of the funniest stories ever told.
Years ago, the country legend snuck into a Dolly Parton look-alike contest in Los Angeles. No one knew it was really her. She teased her hair sky-high, overdid the lipstick, and piled on enough rhinestones to light up the room. She thought she had it in the bag.
But when the judges announced the winner… Dolly didn’t even make the top spot.
She lost to someone pretending to be her!
Laughing about it later, she said:
“I just thought, well, maybe I overdid it!”
She once joked that maybe she looked “too fake to be the real Dolly.”
That’s what makes her so lovable — she can laugh at herself, sparkle through any moment, and still walk away like a legend. 💖
Because let’s face it — even if she lost that contest, no one can outshine the real Dolly Parton. 🌈✨
