It’s been a minute since Miley Cyrus released new music. Between her award-winning web series, Bright Minded with Miley Cyrus and guest spots on shows like Saturday Night Live, the pop star hasn’t left the spotlight, but her fans have been eager for fresh tracks. In the last 24 hours, Cyrus whet her fans’ appetite by uploading a vintage clip of the music video for ‘Start All Over’ from her debut album. The cryptic post was hashtagged #SHEISCOMING, alluding to something special. On Instagram Reels, Cyrus went even further by sharing a teaser of the song “Midnight Sky” plus a shot of herself with Dua Lipa and producer, Andrew Watt. The world will have to wait a bit longer to see what the trio are planning musically, but in the meantime, Cyrus and Lipa provided a fashion moment.
Since debuting her platinum mullet in January, Cyrus has leaned into a look that merges punk rock insouciance with serious luxury. The striped pants, tank top, and ankle boots she wore in her latest update all channel the spirit of Sid Vicious, but her blingy accessories were pure Hollywood glam. Loree Rodkin’s diamond studded dog-tag choker and a dagger pendant from Allan Stuck added to the effect, as did a vintage pair of gold rimmed Cartier sunglasses.
Since Dua Lipa’s released Future Nostalgia in March, the retro vibe has been present in her wardrobe. In the shot with Cyrus, her sorbet-colored double denim look from the Swedish brand Eytys fit with her throwback theme. Paired with a black Helmut Lang bralette and gold chains, the look felt straight out of Clueless. With Cyrus embracing the rock n’roll edge of the late 70s and Lipa opting for soft colors and a hair flip straight out of the 90s, they provided dual takes on how modern musicians should dress.
With styles at opposite ends of the spectrum, they managed to do their own thing while complementing each other, a sign that bodes well for future selfies and any duets on the horizon.
