Since Parton's post on January 22, social media users, including celebrities, have joined in the challenge, sharing photos of themselves looking appropriate for various social media platforms, causing #DollyPartonChallenge to trend on Twitter.
Like the photographs Parton shared, LinkedIn profile pictures tend to be formal and conservative and Facebook photos tend to be family-friendly, sometimes featuring friends or family members. On the other hand, Instagram photos are more stylish and posed, and Tinder photos are flirty and sometimes provocative.
Celebrities including Naomi Campell, Janet Jackson, the Jonas Brothers, Mark Ruffalo, and Donatella Versace have joined in the Dolly Parton Challenge and shared photos of what their social media profile pictures would be.
Twitter accounts for TV shows and movies, like Modern Family, Friends, and Twilight have also imagined what their characters' LinkedIn and Tinder accounts would look like.
