Family, famous friends and fans turned to Twitter on Wednesday to wish singing sensation Dolly Parton a very happy birthday.

The country legend turned heads with a post to her 5.3 million followers for her 76th birthday celebrations. She is pictured sitting with her hand on her hip, dressed in a hot pink attire she described as her "birthday suit".

The Jolene singer candidly captioned the photo, "Just hangin' out in my birthday suit", before thanking everyone for their kind birthday tributes and messages.

Parton's goddaughter, Miley Cyrus, was one of the first to wish the star a happy birthday. "One of the many invaluable lessons learned from @dollyparton," the 29-year-old wrote, adding: "Happy Birthday Aunt Dolly!"
