Miley Cyrus has never been one to follow the rules — and in 2025, she’s proving that yet again. From Disney darling to bold fashion icon, she’s been on a relentless style streak promoting her new album, Something Beautiful. This time, all eyes weren’t just on her voice, but her fashion — and it’s setting social media on fire.

Earlier this week, Miley took to New York City with one of her boldest looks to date. Forget subtlety. She channeled pure couture chaos — and fans are still catching their breath.

The Maison Margiela Moment That Set the Internet Ablaze

Miley’s surprise appearance at Rough Trade NYC was far from just another album promo stop. She strutted in a powerful mix of grunge and glam that only she could pull off. Her outfit included:

• A beaded fringe halter top from Maison Margiela’s Spring 2015 couture collection
• Distressed denim shorts, giving that rebellious rock-n-roll attitude
• Maison Margiela × Christian Louboutin chunky boots that elevated the outfit (literally and metaphorically)
• And the final cherry on top? Futuristic Gentle Monster sunglasses to seal the look

No doubt about it — this was a love letter to chaos couture, and Miley was the postwoman.

“Time to Grow Up”? Public Reactions Are Mixed

For every fan that hailed her a “total icon,” another was less enthused. One comment — “Time to grow up. Don’t become Madonna 2.” — stirred up the age-old debate: Is Miley breaking boundaries, or simply pushing them too far?

But here’s the thing. Isn’t that exactly what fashion icons do?

The Vanity Fair Dinner Look That Screamed ‘Modern Goddess’

Later that evening, Miley raised the stakes again — this time at the Vanity Fair Dinner. She slipped into a chocolate-brown gown that looked like it had been sculpted straight onto her body. The fabric clung to every curve, and with an open back and cheeky cutouts, it was impossible to ignore.

She didn’t just wear that dress. She owned it.

The subtle shimmer of the fabric under evening lights turned her into a living bronze statue — raw, regal, and completely unapologetic.

From Bold to Blonder: Miley’s Bleached Brow Era

If you thought the drama stopped at gowns, think again. Miley’s been experimenting with her look in unexpected ways — and 2025 might just be her boldest year yet. Her recent bleached brows (yes, eyebrows!) turned heads at the Oscars, adding a ghostly, edgy contrast to her otherwise old-Hollywood glam look.

Paired with a custom black halter gown from Alexander McQueen, lace gloves, and diamond jewelry, she embodied vintage elegance with a rebellious twist. Think Marilyn Monroe… but if Marilyn had a punk phase.

Safety Pins, Smokey Eyes, and Gutsy Style

It’s not just gowns — Miley has been making fashion statements consistently. Let’s rewind to her appearance at the 2024 Grammys, where she wore a gown made entirely of golden safety pins. Most celebrities wouldn’t dare. But Miley?

She made it look effortless. As fans said then, “No one could pull this off but you.”

Her smoky eye makeup, tousled bleached waves, and toned-down lips perfectly balanced her dramatic ensembles — proving that behind all the chaos lies a calculated, curated fashion vision.

Styling a Visual Album: Bradley Kenneth’s Influence

Behind every iconic outfit is a brilliant stylist — and in Miley’s case, it’s Bradley Kenneth, the mastermind aligning her fashion with her music. The Something Beautiful era isn’t just about sound — it’s a visual experience that blends vulnerability with raw power.

From high couture references to underground grunge aesthetics, Miley’s wardrobe is as layered as her lyrics. And that’s the point. Her style speaks before she sings.

Owning Her Evolution — And the Criticism

Let’s be real: Miley’s no stranger to backlash. Whether it was her infamous VMA performance in 2013 or her genre switch-ups, she’s built a career out of transformation — and not everyone can keep up.

But that’s what makes Miley Miley. She’s never let critics box her in. In her own words, “Your love not just today, but for nearly two decades means so much more to me than the words I can find at the end of a long, fulfilling day.”

Translation? She’s not here for approval. She’s here for expression.

Final Thoughts: Miley Isn’t Just Wearing Fashion — She Is Fashion

From edgy couture to raw rebellion, Miley Cyrus is redefining what it means to grow up — on her own terms. Every look, every cut, every bleached brow is more than a style choice. It’s a statement.

Sure, some say it’s “too much.” But when has Miley ever played it safe?

As the world watches her confidently blur the lines between art and fashion, one thing’s for sure — love her or hate her, Miley Cyrus is one of the few artists who keeps everyone talking.
