Country music legend Dolly Parton ignited an internet sensation this week by sharing four vastly different photos she thought would best represent her likeness for the social media sites.
‘Get a good woman who can do it all,’ Parton captioned the post, which referenced Linkedin for business, the family-friendly Facebook, aesthetic-driven Instagram and the ever-saucy Tinder (the notorious dating app).
Dubbed the Dolly Parton challenge, since the meme gained momentum, Halle Berry is now among a slew of celebrities to share their own collages, sometimes with hilarious results.
Four sides of Halle: Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry is among a slew of celebrities who joined in on the Dolly Parton challenge
Berry looks all business in a suit and tie and studious glasses, with her short hair for Linkedin. She showed her soft side by snuggling up with her pet pooch along the beach for the family-friendly Facebook.
For Instagram, the actress flashed a sultry look while decked out in an off-the-shoulder dress in a black-and-white photo; and her sense of humor came through in the Tinder snap, by puffing out her cheeks like a blow fish.
Parton sparked the viral sensation with her collage in a January 21 post, two days after celebrating her 74th birthday.
The songstress showed herself as a smart-looking businesswoman for LinkedIn; relaxed in her signature platinum blonde bouffant and a Dolly Christmas sweater for Facebook; a black-and-white photograph of herself holding a guitar for Instagram; and in the dating app Tinder, she posed as a Playboy bunny in a black bustier.

Jennifer Garner, 47, posted her four snaps, however, one of her fans rushed to the comments section to tell her she had got two of the photos the wrong way around.
Her Linkedin snap showed her looking like a confident businesswoman in her power suit, while she oozed country girl chic in her plaid shirt for Facebook.
But the snaps her follower disagree with was her choices for Instagram and Tinder, with the former showing her posing in a stunning white silk gown. They argued that this should instead be her Tinder image, rather than the one of her wearing a rash vest attempting to navigated a paddle board, writing: ‘I would have switched the Instagram and Tinder pics…’
