Miley Cyrus brought her signature edgy style to the 2018 Met Gala, leaving a lasting impression on fashion enthusiasts around the world.
The 25-year-old pop superstar graced the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 7, 2018, for the highly anticipated “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” themed event.
Cyrus, who has never been one to play it safe on the red carpet, arrived in a boldly avant-garde ensemble that perfectly encapsulated the gala’s religious-inspired dress code.
The “Wrecking Ball” hitmaker donned a floor-length black gown by Stella McCartney, featuring a high-neck, long sleeves, and a dramatic thigh-high slit that showcased her toned legs. The gown’s most eye-catching detail, however, was the intricate, cross-shaped embellishments that adorned the bodice and skirt, lending an undeniably divine touch to the overall look.
Cyrus complemented the striking dress with a series of religious-themed accessories, including a large, jewel-encrusted cross necklace and a pair of sky-high platform boots inspired by Catholic schoolgirl uniforms.
Her beauty look was equally as bold, with the singer opting for a dark, smokey eye, nude lip, and her signature bleached blonde pixie cut styled in tousled waves.
As Cyrus posed for the countless photographers on the red carpet, she exuded an air of confidence and edge that has become synonymous with her personal style.
The former Disney Channel star’s daring Met Gala ensemble was a far cry from the more conservative, princess-inspired looks favored by many of her A-list peers. However, this unapologetic embrace of her unique aesthetic is precisely what has made Cyrus a fashion icon in her own right.
“I love taking risks and not being afraid to be myself,” Cyrus told reporters on the red carpet. “That’s what fashion is all about for me – self-expression and having fun.”
Cyrus’ bold, rebellious spirit was well-received by fans and fashion critics alike, with many praising the singer for her willingness to push the boundaries of traditional red carpet dressing.
“Miley Cyrus looked absolutely stunning in that Stella McCartney gown,” gushed one Twitter user. “She managed to capture the religious theme of the Met Gala in such a fresh, modern way.”
Another commented, “Leave it to Miley to bring the edge to the Met Gala. Her look was so fierce and unapologetic – exactly what we expect from her.”
As Cyrus continues to cement her status as a true style maverick, her 2018 Met Gala appearance will undoubtedly be remembered as a defining moment in her ever-evolving fashion journey.
