Dolly Parton might not be a tall woman but what she lacks in stature she more than makes up for in her look. What a look it is – one you might, if you were so inclined, take up for Miss Parton's Glastonbury performance next weekend. Here are five things you will need to pay homage to the wonder that is Dolly.

Blond hair

Make it the blondest of blond, please, and as big as possible. Dolly has experimented with all types of styles – from poodle perms to the current Vegas-ready updo – but, over a 50-year career, blonde is always best. No brunettes allowed.

A chambray shirt

Dolly has her roots in country and a chambray shirt is a country classic. She has been known to wear hers tied under the bust with a pair of hotpants in younger days, but a more understated tribute might come in an oversized boyfriend fit. Think of Dolly at home in Nashville wearing husband Carl's shirt for inspiration.

Rhinestones

There's always a bit of glitz in a Dolly Parton look – and rhinestones are a favourite. They're acceptable just about everywhere – decorating a fringed jacket, a polo neck or even along the line of the ever-present cleavage.

Stilettos

The mind boggles as to what footwear Dolly will be wearing to Glastonbury – imagining her in a pair of wellies is just plain wrong. Possibly because of her small stature, Dolly doesn't do flats. An open-toed stiletto – the higher the better – is more her line. It better be yours too.

Eyelashes

The face Dolly presents to the world isn't what you'd call the no-makeup makeup look. The contouring in her eyes is of a professional standard. The rest of us might not have that luxury but a pair of false eyelashes will go a long way to getting the Parton face. Bat them for the full effect.
