DOLLY Parton bared her cleavage while dressing up as a sexy Playboy bunny for her husband Carl Dean’s birthday.

The 75-year-old singer previously covered the magazine in a similar outfit 43 years ago.

Dolly took to Instagram on Tuesday to explain she dressed up as a sexy bunny in honor of her husband’s birthday.

While wearing a low cut black top and matching bunny ears, she explained: “You’re probably wondering why I’m dressed like this. Well, it’s for my husband’s birthday.

“Remember some time back I said I was gonna pose on Playboy Magazine when I was 75? Well, I’m 75 and they don’t have a magazine anymore, but my husband always loved the original cover of Playboy, so I was trying to think of something to do to make him happy.

“He still thinks I’m a hot chick after 57 years and I’m not gonna try to talk him out of that. And I hope he agrees. What do you think?”

After laughing, Dolly explained that she “did a little photo shoot in this little outfit” for Carl’s birthday.

She added: “I had a cover made of the new Dolly- or the old new Dolly.”

While holding up framed covers of her previous time on the cover of Playboy, Dolly said she was “a little butterball” on the first one and is “string cheese now.”

The singer winked at the camera as she said her husband will think she’s “cream cheese.”

Dolly then explained her plans to surprise Carl by singing to him in her “little bunny suit,” adding: “What do you think? Do you think Playboy should pay me for ought to pay me for this photoshoot? I do.”

Alongside the clip, she wrote: “It’s always #HotGirlSummer for my husband, Carl 💝

“Happy birthday my love!”

THE ORIGINAL PLAN

Back in November, it was reported that Playboy wanted the singer to cover the magazine in celebration of her 75th birthday.

According to TMZ, a Playboy exec said: "The magazine would love to shoot Dolly again, and she knows all she has to do is say the word, and it's on!"

The famed country star first became a cover model for the magazine back in October 1978 when she was 32.

She donned the iconic bunny costume and showed off her cleavage.

However, the plan never came to fruition as Dolly turned 75 on January 19 and did not pose for the magazine.

POSING 'IN GOOD TASTE'

Back in October, Dolly expressed interest in posing for Playboy while appearing on Scott Mills & Chris Stark show on Radio 5 Live.

When asked if she would pose on the cover, the Jolene singer said: "Yeah, I just might do it, if I can do it in good taste and they want it [and] we'll do it along with a really good interview inside.

Dolly continued: "I have been asked, back in the day, but that was so totally not me. I would never do that… but that was a good article they ran in there, and it was just a fun thing to do.

“That was just another way I was trying to market myself, at that time, to kinda get in the mainstream.”
