Dolly Parton shares photo celebrating turning 76 in her ‘birthday suit’

Dolly Parton celebrated turning 76 in her “birthday suit”.

The country music icon commemorated her 76th birthday yesterday (19 January) by sharing a photo in which she is wearing her “birthday suit”.

Parton shared the tongue-in-cheek post on Twitter with her 5.3 million followers.

“Just hangin’ out in my birthday suit!” wrote the “Jolene” singer.

While the term is often used as a euphemism for being naked, Parton’s idea of a “birthday suit” is very different.

The photo sees the musician sat cross legged, dressed in a bright pink satin skirt suit over a red lace long sleeve dress.

Fans took to the comments to share their well wishes with the “national treasure”.

“Happy Birthday Dolly! You are indeed a national treasure,” wrote one person.

Another added: “HBD pretty lady have a wonderful day I like your birthday suit it suits you very well happy happy birthday dolly!”

Parton is due to release her new album – titled Run, Rose, Run – on 4 March.

The forthcoming record is a companion project to a novel of the same name that is co-authored by Parton and James Patterson.

The book will be released on 7 March.
