The cold-shoulder top was a thing of the past — until Dolly Parton, Christie Brinkley debuted the 'perfect vaccination shirt'

The cold-shoulder top is ready for a resurgence after Dolly Parton rocked the style for her COVID-19 vaccine.

"Dolly gets a dose of her own medicine," the 75-year-old country superstar who helped fund the Moderna vaccine captioned a photo on Instagram of her receiving the first dose of the vaccine. And while many praised Parton for the work that she did to get the historic vaccine distributed, others shouted out her next big move: bringing the open-shoulder style back for the sake of practicality.

"The perfect vaccination shirt," one follower commented after seeing the exposed-shoulder style, which has gone in and out of fashion since the 1960s. Others wrote, "A true icon plans her entire wardrobe around the vaccine" and "I love the shirt you wore for the occasion, Dolly!!"

Christie Brinkley seemingly followed Parton's lead when going to get her second dose of the vaccine, posting a video of the event on her Instagram on Thursday. She too was wearing a sweater with a single exposed shoulder for fashion and function.

Aside from those posting photos of themselves wearing the cold-shoulder top for their own vaccines, others — including former first lady Hillary Clinton — called for the style to have a comeback as a result.

"Loved seeing @dollyparton bring back the cold shoulder as a vaccination look," Clinton wrote on Instagram, alongside a throwback photo of herself rocking the look. "Shall we make this a trend?⁣"

According to Morgan A. Wider, stylist and author of The Worthy Wardrobe, the style is very likely to become a trend as a result.

"Sometimes we think of fashion as happening in a bubble, but fashion at its best is a reflection of the political, economic or culture events of our time. Whether it's Chuck Taylors and pearls, or optimistic color choices to bring us joy, we look to fashion for inspiration," she tells Yahoo Life. "The cold-shoulder trend started as a way to reveal one of the sexiest parts of a woman's body, i.e., her shoulders. No matter a woman's weight, shape or size, she can always feel good about this area of her body, and now, the trend is at the intersection of fashion and functionality."

Wider went on to say that she believes "the trend is here to stay," indicating that you'll likely see some selections of the style in stores.
