Reba McEntire, the one and only country music legend, isn't just about making music that tugs at your heartstrings—she’s also all about feeling confident and beautiful in her own skin. The “Fancy” singer recently opened up about a time when a stylist tried to change her iconic look, and she wasn’t having it. Let’s dive into the story of how she stood her ground and why she’s such an inspiration to so many of us.
Standing Tall: Reba's Styling Standoff
Reba McEntire, now 69 years young, recalled a moment that taught her a valuable lesson about self-confidence and staying true to herself. Picture this: a stylist once dressed her in a strapless dress for a big event. At first glance, it might have seemed like a glamorous choice, but as the night went on, Reba found herself feeling anything but glamorous. “I was uncomfortable and self-conscious,” she admitted. “I kept pulling the top of the dress up, worrying it was going to fall down at any moment.”
Reba wasn’t going to let anyone else dictate how she should feel about her appearance. She drew a line in the sand, telling the stylist, “OK, from now on, never anything like that again.” It was a bold move, but one that Reba knew she had to make to stay true to herself.

Lessons Learned: Finding Confidence in What You Wear
Reba’s experience taught her an important lesson: it’s crucial to dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident. “It took me a while to gain the confidence to stand up to professional stylists, hairdressers, and makeup artists,” she reflected. “They’d say, ‘Sit back and let us make sure you look just right.’ But I’d respond, ‘Make me look like me.’”
This isn’t just about fashion—it’s about self-expression and authenticity. Reba has always been known for her signature red hair and elegant red carpet looks, and she’s not about to change that for anyone. Her message to all of us? Wear what makes you feel good, and don’t be afraid to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Reba’s Beauty Secrets: Hydration is Key
So, what’s the secret behind Reba’s age-defying glow? It’s all about hydration, both inside and out. “I hydrate inside and out,” she told People magazine. “Drinking plenty of water, choosing hydrating foods, and staying hydrated overall is so important for maintaining a youthful appearance.”
Reba also shared that she has naturally dry skin, which means she has to be extra vigilant about keeping her skin moisturized. “If I don’t hydrate properly, I can start to look older than I should,” she explained. “It’s those small, daily habits that make a big difference in how we look and feel.”
Style Icons: Reba’s Love for Dolly Parton
When it comes to style inspirations, Reba doesn’t have to look far. She named none other than Dolly Parton as one of her style icons, referring to her as a “role model.” Reba shared a sweet memory of working with Dolly, and it’s clear why she holds her in such high regard. “She’s special because she came from a bare-bones, hard life,” Reba said. “She survived, improvised, persevered, and followed her dreams—and she’s still doing it. I love how she treats everyone as equals.”
Reba went on to praise Dolly’s approach to people, both in front of and behind the camera. “When she did the Reba show, everyone was already in love with her, but the way she treated everyone—from the actors to the crew behind the scenes—she had them as fans for the rest of their lives,” she explained.
