From rhinestones to cowboy hats, Dolly Parton is known for her unique and iconic style.

Now, thanks to her latest venture, even pets can mimic the country queen's iconic looks.

Dubbed 'Doggy Parton', the animal clothing line dropped this week on Amazon, but it will be available from Parton's own site and other retailers later this month.

The collection invites owners to "show your love for your fur babies with classic Dolly-inspired attire, accessories, toys, and more!"

It features everything from gingham bandanas to fluffy pink cowgirl hats. There's even a blonde Dolly wig, a guitar-wielding fancy dress costume, and a chew toy in the shape of a microphone.

According to the New York Post, the face of the collection is Parton's own pooch, Billy The Kid, an adorable French bulldog who can be seen modeling the pieces in various snaps.

In a statement, the 76-year-old 'Jolene' singer explained that it was her lifelong love for pets that had inspired the kooky collection, which was launched in partnership with SportsPet Designs.

"'Puppy Love' was my very first record and six decades later, my love for pets is stronger than ever. This inspired me to start my own line of Doggy Parton apparel, accessories, toys and more with a little 'Dolly' flair," she said.

Among her numerous accolades, Parton's love for animals has been honored with a Partnership Award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which she won in 2003 for her efforts to save the bald eagle population.

She has also worked extensively with the Dogs Deserve Better organization.

Considering Parton's history of animal advocacy, it only makes sense that her new pet clothing line would have a charity component. In another statement, the songstress explained that a portion of the sales would be donated to Willa B Farms Animal Sanctuary in her home state of Tennessee.

"Part of the proceeds will support Willa B Farms, a rescue where animals in need find never-ending love," she said, adding:  "Don’t we all need that?"

The Doggy Parton collection is available to shop on Amazon now.
