Over the weekend, legendary country singer Dolly Parton caused a stir on Instagram with a photo of herself wearing the iconic Playboy bunny outfit she made famous in 1978.
Despite being 77 years old, Parton proved that classic styles never go out of fashion. In her caption, she cheekily asked if her husband, Carl, would like her new shirt.
The photo only shows a portion of the outfit, but it was enough to get fans excited and hoping for a full reveal. The issue featuring Parton was one of the best-selling in Playboy’s history and generated controversy at the time. However, Parton defended the shoot as a way to challenge her conservative image and promote her music.
Carl, who keeps a low profile, was featured alongside his wife in the photo. The couple met at a laundromat in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1964 and have been married since May 1966. Despite living mostly out of the public eye, they have maintained a strong and loving relationship for over five decades.
Her iconic appearance in the 1978 Playboy issue marked a bold move for Parton, who was challenging her conservative image and promoting her music at the time. Despite its controversy, the issue became one of the best-selling in Playboy’s history. Parton’s post on Instagram, decades later, proved that her timeless beauty and style continue to captivate audiences of all ages.
