Jennifer Anistons character Rosie Dickson is reigning queen in her small Texas town as a former pageant winner who now runs the local pageant in the new trailer for Netflixs forthcoming Dumplin. However, when her self-proclaimed fat daughter Willowdean (Danielle Macdonald) enters the pageant, she starts a body positivity revolution and challenges the towns perceptions of what it means to be beautiful.
Its gonna be like a protest in heels, Willowdean says in the trailer. The Dolly Parton-obsessed teen may have joined the pageant on a lark, but soon her friends and others join her quest and in the process study for the pageant at a Dolly Parton-themed drag show. When Willowdean begins to experience self-doubt, one of the drag queens gives her a pep talk: You know that Dolly saying? Figure out who you are and do it on purpose.
