The HELLO! Shopping team loves Dolly Parton - who doesn’t? - and whether it’s her classic songs like Jolene or her funny, kind, down-to-earth persona, we’re all fans.
And with the release of the global legend’s new Dolly’s Joleans collab with Khloé Kardashian’s Good American brand - which includes some very glam crystal-studded denim pieces - even those of us who aren’t 100% convinced about the embellished jeans trend are ready to give it a try.
Confession: It's me. I’m the one who wasn’t 100% convinced by embellished denim. (My practical brain always goes straight to, ‘Yes, but how do you wash them?’) But between the Instagram styles I’m seeing inspired by Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour, which kicks off this month, and Dolly’s main character energy Good American pieces, I’m now on board.

I do trust Dolly, so I went searching for my fave look. The Joleans gingham shirt is so cute and caught my eye but I’d have to go for the Dolly Studded Crystal Pull-On Pants, made from power-stretch denim to hug your curves, and featuring a slit hem to comfortably fall around your cowboy boots and show them off.
Good American 'Dolly' Crystal Denim Pull-On Pants

H&M Rhinestone Embellished Jeans

Reformation’s 'Cary' High Rise Wide Leg Jeans, $218 / £228 in Colorado Sparkle are just as chic as you’d expect from the celebrity-loved brand, with a side-accent cascade of rhinestones.

I’d hurry and shop the crystal-studded High Rise Loose jeans, which are on sale for $59.99, which still has a few sizes in stock. (In the UK your best bet is the High Rise 90s Relaxed Jean, sale priced at £56.99 with tiny sequins - it’s still available in multiple sizes.)
And if you're wondering how to wash them, like I was, Google recommends hand washing them, inside out with a mild detergent before air drying. Easy peasy!

“I’ve always believed what you wear should make you feel as fabulous as you truly are, and this brand new line, Dolly’s Joleans, is all about celebrating individuality with a touch of sparkle,” Dolly said when her collab was unveiled. “I’m inspired by Good American's ability to create clothes that make women feel confident and ready to shine!”
Confidence and sparkle for spring? Okay Dolly, count me in!
