Dolly Parton Looks Like a Literal Doll in Adorable Throwback Photo

Is she even real?

Dolly Parton is blessing us with another nostalgic throwback pic, and she doesn't even look real in this one.

The philanthropist took to Instagram yesterday, April 13th, with the most adorable photo of her younger self. She sat on a curved white platform with glittering panels behind her and what looks to be the edge of a screen to her left. A microphone was set up in front of her as she appeared to be laughing at something, holding both hands up to cover her mouth and closing her eyes as she leaned a bit to the side.

She wore a red dress with white micro polka dots. White lace lined her cuffs and the center of her torso, and she accessorized with a pair of shiny black Mary Janes, white knee-high socks, and her hair up in two pigtail-style buns wrapped in red ribbon, looking more like a doll than a person.

At first, it seemed like the post may have been made to address a recent hater, but the caption is actually a beloved quote that the country songstress has said in the past, which floats around on several "best of" lists of what is referred to as a "Dollyism."

"I know some of the best Dolly Parton jokes. I made ’em up myself!" she wrote next to the sweet photo, which appears to have been taken on the set of her short-lived variety show Dolly!

"OMG you ARE the cutest Dolly ❤️," one fan wrote in response.

Paris Hilton also dropped into the comments, leaving a simple emoji: "😍."

"I’m right there with you. Last time I saw my shoes, I was 14 years old," another commenter joked with her.

"This is one of my most favorite quotes and pictures of you," someone else wrote. "I love how funny and smart you are! You also look so pretty and adorable here. Love you, Dolly! 😘😘😘"

Another agreed that "Dollyisms are the best! 🥰😄."
