Dolly Parton Goes Grunge for ‘Rockstar’ Promotion in Mesh and Leather Trousers and Clear Peep-Toe Platforms

Dolly Parton arrived at “The One Show” at BBC Broadcasting House in London yesterday to promote her new album “Rockstar.”

The country legend sported an all-black ensemble that matched the rocker vibe of her latest musical creation. Parton wore a corseted shiny patent leather top worn layered underneath an irridescent glittering cropped mesh shrug with black chain trim. The shrug featured bell sleeves made of a voluminous black tulle that slightly eclipsed the hitmaker’s hands.

Reaching all new heights, the “Steel Magnolias” star stepped into clear peep-toe platform sandals. The striking pair were comprised of see-through shiny vinyl-like uppers with open toes and thick black platform soles. Sharp black 4 to 5 inch stiletto heels finished Parton’s lofty set.
