Dolly Parton has always been larger than life—whether she’s dazzling on stage, giving us songs that define generations, or casually funding the Moderna vaccine. But now, she’s proving once again that she’s not just a music icon—she’s a business mogul. Following the passing of her husband, Carl Dean, Dolly has channeled her unstoppable energy into new ventures, showing the world that while rhinestones may sparkle, ambition shines even brighter. 

One of her latest projects is Dolly Mama, a podcast where she’ll dive into the world of music, film, television, and entertainment. And let’s be honest—who wouldn’t want to sit back with a cup of coffee (more on that later) and hear Dolly’s take on Hollywood, storytelling, and the ever-evolving music industry? If there’s anyone who has wisdom to share, it’s the woman who built an empire with nothing but talent, tenacity, and a whole lot of charm.

Speaking of empire-building, Dolly is making her mark in the fashion industry with Joleans, a denim-focused clothing line inspired by her classic hit Jolene. The collection will include jeans, jackets, skirts, vests, dresses, tops, and bottoms, proving that no one understands country-chic better than the queen herself. But knowing Dolly, this won’t just be about clothes—it’ll be about confidence. After all, when you’re wearing Joleans, no one can take your man, because you are the main character.

But why stop at fashion? Dolly is also stepping into the beauty world with Dollygen and Collagen, two trademarks focused on collagen-based skincare and cosmetic products. It’s no secret that Dolly has somehow managed to defy aging with a mix of good genes, good surgeons, and, in her own words, “a lot of make-up and a lot of money.” Now, she’s giving fans the chance to tap into that timeless glow. Whether it’s a collagen-infused cream or a beauty serum promising that signature Dolly radiance, this line is bound to be as iconic as the woman behind it.

And of course, no empire is complete without a caffeine boost, which is where The Perking Lot and Cup of Ambition come in. Named after her 9 to 5 anthem, Cup of Ambition is expected to be part of Dolly’s

coffee-related ventures, and honestly, it’s exactly what the world needs. Imagine sipping your morning coffee from a Dolly-approved cup, feeling like you, too, can take on the world with a blonde wig and a dream. Whether it’s coffee shops, specialty blends, or a full-fledged caffeine revolution, Dolly knows that success starts with a good brew. 

But why stop at coffee when you can add a little sparkle? In collaboration with Kendra Scott, Dolly has launched a jewelry line inspired by her most beloved songs. The first collection celebrates the 50th anniversary of Love is Like a Butterfly, featuring delicate butterfly motifs and soft, romantic hues. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia and elegance, proving that when Dolly touches something, it turns to gold—sometimes literally.

Through all of these ventures, Dolly Parton continues to show that reinvention isn’t just possible—it’s her specialty. Even in the face of personal loss, she’s expanding her brand, making sure her legacy shines in more ways than one. Whether it’s through fashion, beauty, coffee, or jewelry, one thing is certain: the world will never have too much Dolly. And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.
