Dolly Parton Just Shared Rare Photos With Her Sister Rachel—And Fans Are Doing A Double-Take

Fans couldn't help but notice the similarity between Dolly and her younger sister, Rachel Parton George, after the country legend shared photos of the pair on Instagram ahead of the release of their new cookbook.

Many of us have that one sibling that makes people wonder if we just might be twins, and country legend Dolly Parton is apparently one of them.

Parton, 78, had fans all over the internet doing double takes after posting a photo of herself alongside her little sister Rachel Parton George, because the likeness between the two is uncanny.


But it's not just that the sisters look alike; they seem to have adopted the same sort of style, as well.

Parton posted photos to Instagram of her and Rachel laughing together over some food to promote the cookbook they're collaborating on.

In her caption, she wrote:

"The best part of creating this cookbook is getting to spend quality time with my sister Rachel ❤️"
"We can’t wait to share our recipes with you all, pre-order now at the link in my bio!"

But what really stood out to fans was not so much the food and the cookbook as Dolly's seeming doppelganger sat beside her.

Fittingly, Parton previously announced on Instagram that the cookbook will be called Good Lookin’ Cookin'. That Instagram post featured Rachel too, but in a bit more subdued look than the more recent post.

Since then, Rachel appears to have taken style cues from her big sister.

Though her look doesn't appear to be quite as extreme as Dolly's, big blond hair and lots of makeup is the name of the game in the new photos, just like Dolly's decades-long iconic look.

And fans could not get enough of Parton's spitting image little sister.

For others though, it was the obvious sisterly bond between Dolly and Rachel that shone through the brightest.

Parton and Rachel have a whopping 10 other siblings—including, oddly enough, Rachel's twin sister Freida, who followed in Dolly's footsteps as a singer for a time. Another Parton sister, Stella, is also a musician who's still recording and touring regularly.

Rachel and Dolly's cookbook comes out September 17.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
