Dolly Parton is one of the easiest and most recognisable costume ideas there is: big hair, a lot of sparkle, a little fringe and plenty of confidence. Whether you are dressing up for Halloween, a themed birthday, a country night or a concert, the outfit does most of the work. Below are seven Dolly-inspired looks you can build around one key piece, from glam pink stage sets to everyday black leather.

1. The hot pink rhinestone fringe set

If you want the full stage look, start with colour. The Dolly Parton Hot Pink Rhinestone Fringe Western Two Piece Dress Set is a crop top and matching skirt with fringe and rhinestone detail, so it reads as "Dolly" from across the room. Add cowboy boots, big hoop earrings and a teased blonde wig and the costume is done.

2. Coat of Many Colors for kids

Dolly's song about a patchwork coat made by her mother is one of her best-loved stories, and it makes a sweet costume for children. The Coat of Many Colors Kids Patchwork Coat works for school book days, Halloween or a family Dolly theme. Pair it with jeans or a simple dress and small boots.

3. Fringe for a country-glam night out

Fringe is the fastest way to say "country". The Dolly Parton Black Fringe Leather Jacket keeps it wearable: it looks like a costume at a party but also works over a dress or jeans at a concert. Add red lipstick and a sparkly top underneath.

4. Studs and black leather for a rock-and-roll Dolly

Dolly has always mixed country with rock. For that edge, try the Dolly Parton Black Studded Biker Leather Jacket or the Classic Black Leather Biker Moto Jacket. Style either one with a leopard or sequin top, skinny jeans and heeled boots.

5. A belted silhouette

Dolly's look is all about shape. The Dolly Parton Black Leather Belted Jacket pulls in at the waist, which suits a fitted skirt or flared trousers. It is a good pick if you want something you will keep wearing after the party.

6. Soft blue with embroidery

Not every Dolly outfit is pink or black. The Dolly Parton Sky Blue Embroidered Leather Jacket brings in pastel colour and floral embroidery for a softer, Nashville-style look. Wear it with white jeans or a denim skirt and cream boots.

7. Red for a bold statement

For something that stands out in photos, the Dolly Parton Red Leather Bomber Jacket is bright, glossy and easy to style with black jeans and a sparkly top. It works for concerts and nights out as well as costume parties. The plain Dolly Parton Black Leather Jacket is the simplest everyday option of all.

How to finish any Dolly costume

• Hair: a voluminous blonde wig is the single most recognisable element.
• Sparkle: rhinestones, sequins or a glitter top under any jacket.
• Boots: cowboy boots or heeled boots, ideally white, red or pink.
• Accessories: big earrings, rings and long nails.
• Attitude: a big smile does the rest.
