]]> 2023 is set the be the year of Miley. She has started the year off strong with her release ‘Flowers’, the first single from her upcoming album Endless Summer Vacation set for release  in March. Cyrus announced the single via Instagram with a caption that read “NEW YEAR, NEW MILEY, NEW SINGLE. FLOWERS JANUARY 13.” And so, ahead of what appears to be a Miley renaissance, here is a look back on some of her best looks so far.

Her Vintage NYE Looks

Yet again, confirming that 2023 is going to be her year, Miley Cyrus rang in the New Year with her annual NYE party in a variety of vintage looks. One of the standout looks was the sparkling asymmetric mini dress from Bob Mackie’s AW2002 collection. However, our personal favourite was the green and orange floor-length Versace gown from SS2006. The ethereal look was elegant and sophisticated but paired with Miley’s beachy waves perfectly matched the singer’s free-spirited personality.

EVERY Gucci Campaign

There are very few celebrity and designer pairings that are as perfect as Miley and Gucci. The moment that Miley was announced as an ambassador for Gucci Beauty’s Flora perfumes, we knew that something beautiful had been created. Both Gucci and Cyrus are true maximalists and Gucci has a retro feel that fits in with Miley’s persona seamlessly. Because of this carefully curated alignment, every Gucci campaign featuring Miley presents us with the most impeccable looks that are not only fashionable but also let Miley’s personality shine through.

When She Looked Like an Absolute Rockstar at Glastonbury

Nevermind the trend of dressing like a rockstar’s girlfriend, Miley Cyrus has been dressing like the rockstar she is for years now, and we are here for it! And taking centre stage at Glastonbury in skintight leather trousers, knee high boots covered in buckles, a white cropped vest and dripping in jewellery confirmed that she is THAT girl.

Pink Feathers at Miley Cyrus Presents Stand by You

When Miley Cyrus does a Pride event, you just know that the looks are going to be good. The show was packed with elaborate looks, each one as loud and proud as the last. Our personal favourite was the bright pink feathered Jenny Packham dress that Miley wore on stage and in promotional photos.

All Leather at the iHeartRadio Music Festival

Another look from Miley’s rocker chick era, Cyrus took to the stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in an all-leather ensemble, even down to the gloves. The look matched her performance perfectly which was energetic yet grungy. The comparison of this look against her more 70s inspired pastel looks just show that Miley truly can do it all.

Met Gala 2018

Miley’s 2018 Met Gala look is one that will go down in the history books. The low draping Stella McCartney gown was paired with a dainty cross necklace sitting at the base of the cowl neck tying into the theme of “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”. But this gown was not just a party in the front, it also had a beautiful and daringly low back.

THAT YSL Dress

Potentially our favourite Miley fashion moment of all time was the sparkling Saint Laurent gown that she wore to the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscars Party. The gown shimmered from head to toe, had a delicate plunge neckline that knotted at the waist and a thigh high split, the combination of all of these elements worked to create not only the perfect dress but the perfect dress for Miley, classic yet edgy.

Vintage shopping has been popular for ages. Many people do it rightfully for environmental reasons, others because it’s cheaper and some because they are chasing the aesthetic. But what is truly buzzing right now, and for good reasons, is the art of reworked clothing. Not only is it good for the planet, but by wearing reworked clothes you’ll elevate your style in ways you never experienced before, as the creativity behind the reconstruction of garments is unique for each piece, and you’re guaranteed to be the only person rocking your outfit. Here are some Instagram based brands you need to follow asap:

@Expensivethebrand

Expensivethebrand is the quintessential reworked clothing brand. It proves that vintage doesn’t necessarily have to look old, and it can elevate even the most contemporary style. By incorporating sexy and high-fashion details into streetwear, it certainly claims the spot as one of the most attractive brands of the moment.

@Lois1xblue

The Manchester graduate designer is making football merch sexy, and that says a lot about the creativity behind their garments. Every reworked look is simply stunning, and the barely-there bodysuits have become a staple for the brand, even worn by the likes of Kim Kardashian. Their clothes are innovative, trendy and truly out of the box, and curated in such an avant-garde way that is impossible to resist.

@Matacomplex

Patchwork has always been trendy, but this British designer can be considered the queen. Using vibrant electrified hues of blue/ pink and green and yellow, the cropped asymmetrical patchwork designs are simply divine. Fabrics can be knit, nylon or even lycra. For every creation it’s like looking at a messy nuclear kaleidoscope made to be adored.

@ai_mei__li

This designer’s brand makes hippy, deconstructed clothing fashionable again. The inventiveness of their designs is astounding, and every single look seems to have come out of a fantasy world.

@Randomaffects

The NYC based brand has some of the most unique and edgy pieces you’ve ever seen. If you’re looking for a real authentic streetwear vibe or simply to be inspired, take a look at their stunning upcycled creations.

@urban.reworks

This edgy and unique brand plays on the duality of dressing down as a way to dress up, using ‘fashionable’ humour to attract customers. The fabrics are from brands such as Nike and other sportswear designers, and the logos are reminiscent to the original brands but with a twist of humour. It is a beautiful mélange of colorful, original and comfortable clothes that will surely make you stand out.
