Miley Cyrus has been lighting up Paris with look after look. “Paris is already something beautiful, but with all of you it’s even more magical. Je t’aime,” the singer wrote on Instagram.
Taking her latest album title—Something Beautiful—and its continuing promo tour seriously with her sartorial choices, Cyrus and her stylist Bradley Kenneth have been having a lot of fun with combining her own sense of style—maximalist but refined, ’70s inflected aesthetics with modern, sexy twists by way of strong-shouldered Saint Laurent jackets and suiting, Alaïa gowns, and lots of leather—with some French girl chic details.
Yesterday evening, Cyrus was photographed leaving her Paris hotel, continuing her vintage rhythm. She wore a sweeping sheer gray blue sheer gown with an undulating layered skirt and a peacock feathered, spiral coned bra. She paired it with long leather gloves, and chocolate brown cut-out sandal boots. As usual, her hair was blown out in dramatic, heightened ’80s curls.
On another occasion, Cyrus greeted fans in a more low-key but still chic and sleek black strapless top with a leather bow on the chest, with matching tailored black pants and black pointed boots. The monochromatic look gained a pop of color from a bright bouquet of flowers she received from fans.
Cyrus was also spotted wearing an Eiffel Tower motif rhinestone-studded archival black dress by the late designer Patrick Kelly—the first U.S. designer inducted into France’s Chambre Syndicale du Prêt-à-Porter back in 1988—which featured in his fall winter 1989 collection. Cyrus added some dark angular oval sunglasses, sheer tights, and pointed black stilettos with a delicate ankle strap.
On another day out and about on the streets of the City of Light, Cyrus opted for a full Valentino look: A cozy knit tiger print mini-dress in a gray and black gradient, with a featured blue and gray collar. She paired it with white tights, white stilettos, and a silver rectangular handbag. Later, for an intimate performance at Paris’s Billions Club, she slipped into another snake print sequin gown by Valentino, with a plunging neckline and thin straps across the chest. As well, she looked to her favored Mugler for more performance outfits, including a Moulin Rouge-esque, vintage Mugler fall winter 1992 couture sequin blue mini-dress with black elbow-length gloves, and a crystal encrusted, deep ruby red corset and blazer from the 1996 Mugler runway.
“This era has a richness and depth that feels both modern and timeless. The looks reflect that same energy. For me, it was about translating the music through the styling into something visual and elevated,” Kenneth recently told Vogue while Cyrus promoted Something Beautiful.
The Miley Cyrus school of dressing—bold, playful, sexy, and nostalgic—finds its second sartorial home in Paris: A city of fashion history, romance, a historic club culture. Très jolie, Miley!
