Megan Moroney is channeling pure country legend energy—and fans can’t get enough.
For PEOPLE’s World’s Most Beautiful issue, she stepped fully into the iconic “Jolene” era look made famous by Dolly Parton. From the sky-high blonde hair to the vintage-inspired striped outfit, every detail was carefully recreated to capture that unmistakable style.
And it wasn’t simple.
Her glam team went all in, even using multiple wigs to build that signature volume. Megan joked that no amount of extensions alone could match Dolly’s legendary hair—so they had to get creative to do it justice.
What makes the moment even more meaningful is the timing. Megan is the same age Dolly was when she released “Jolene,” making the tribute feel like a full-circle connection between two generations of country artists.
But this wasn’t just about recreating a look.
Megan has been open about how much Dolly’s confidence and authenticity have shaped her—not just as an artist, but as a person. It’s about owning who you are, standing in it fully, and not apologizing for it.
With her career continuing to rise, this moment feels like more than a tribute—it feels like a passing of inspiration from one era to the next.
