Dolly Parton is known for her glamorous outfits and her niece Jada Star has revealed that she has never seen the singer without makeup.
Jada, daughter of the country star’s younger sister Frieda, said that despite her attempts as a child, she never managed to catch the “unglamorous” 78-year-old and instead raided her closet and tried on their iconic blonde wigs. .
Recalling a two-week family trip to Hawaii, he told Mirror: ‘I remember one night I tried so hard to wake up earlier than everyone else so I could see her without makeup but it didn’t happen.’
‘I have never seen her unglamorous in my life; There have only been a few who have done it. But from what I’ve heard, you’d still know it’s her. “She is naturally beautiful.”
Jada, who will perform at Glastonbury this year and also recently appeared on the reality show Claim To Fame, added: “(Dolly) jokes about all the unnatural things and all the nips and tucks, but if you see pictures of her as a teenager she’s a bombshell. She is stunning, she has always been beautiful, inside and out.”
Dolly Parton, 78, is known for her glamorous outfits and her niece Jada Star (right) has revealed that she has never seen the singer without makeup.
Jada, daughter of the iconic singer’s younger sister Frieda, said that despite her attempts as a child, she never managed to catch the now “unglamorous” 78-year-old (Dolly pictured in March).
Instead, she would raid her aunt’s closet and try on her iconic blonde wigs (pictured).
It comes after Dolly previously revealed she had been sleeping in make-up every night for decades in case of an “emergency”.
She admitted that she chooses to sleep with a glamorous face in case she is spotted by unexpected photographers on the street.
In her book, Behind The Seams: My Life In Rhinestones, Dolly confessed that the habit began in the 1980s.
She wrote: “When I came to Los Angeles in the ’80s, I started sleeping with my makeup on, partly because of the earthquakes.”
“I thought, ‘I’m not going out without makeup in case there are cameras around! I’m going to be ready to go!'”
Although she sleeps with a face full of makeup, Dolly admitted that she makes sure to properly cleanse her face in the morning, before reapplying another layer.
He added: “It doesn’t matter when you clean your face, as long as you clean it once a day.” After I wake up, I do all the little rituals and then I start again and go out every day and look good all day.’
‘This is also true in my country of Tennessee. I don’t want to go to bed like a witch with Carl.

Carl Thomas Dean and Dolly married in 1966 in a small ceremony after meeting two years earlier.
It was also reported that the singer had been secretly working on creating a “massive new album” to be released later this year.
The project, reportedly titled Dolly Parton: Smokey Mountain DNA, will be the country music legend’s 50th album.
Niece Jada confirmed the details to Sun while gushing about how her aunt was inspired by her heritage and collaborated with over 20 members of her family on the album.
‘It is an album that documents his entire life. “It has been a huge task that involves the whole family,” revealed Star, 44. ‘It is an album she has produced with more than 30 songs with more than 20 family members. She sings with us on every song.’
It was also reported that the singer had been secretly working on creating a ‘massive new album’ to be released later this year (pictured in 2015).
He continued: “The album covers songs written about his childhood, his mother and father, his aunts and uncles, his brothers and sisters, even his nieces and nephews.”
‘We can all share interpretations of their songs or write our own songs. “It’s been a huge, crazy project,” Star said.
The reality star noted that she wrote a song, called The Orchard, on the upcoming album, which she said is “all about our family tree and what we share with the world.”
However, Dolly’s goddaughter, Miley Cyrus, does not appear on the album.
Jada added that the “album will be released alongside the documentary series” tracing Dolly’s Welsh ancestry, which was announced earlier this month.
