Miley Cyrus spent the week taking Paris by storm, the streets her runway: She played a secret show for fans in Moulin Rouge-esque, vintage and crystal-encrusted Mugler corsets, and took to the streets in full Valentino, a sheer gown with a feather bra, and a very special Eiffel Tower-embellished archival mini-dress.
Alongside her very different takes on French girl chic, Cyrus also joined Beyoncé on her mammoth Cowboy Carter tour to become her very first guest performer. The duo performed “II Most Wanted” from 2024’s Cowboy Carter, which won them the Grammy for best country duo or group performance. The crowd, of course, went wild. For the moment, they both opted for gilded, golden looks: Cyrus in custom Alexander McQueen, and Bey in custom Rabanne.
So stepping off the Eurostar at London St. Pancras International station yesterday (June 20), Cyrus exhibited a style more in step with the London fashion set aesthetic, as she arrived to keep promoting her latest album Something Beautiful. She wore a blue-gray trench coat with light blue wash straight leg jeans rolled up at the ankles, and a black tank layered with gold necklaces. She brushed back her usual ’80s blow-out into a slick back ponytail, with huge aviator sunglasses and a Maison Margiela 5AC black handbag. On her feet, every east London girl’s favorite choice for freaky footwear: the Margiela tabi ballerina flat.
Still, Miley has long been a Margiela girl, often pulling from the archives with her stylist Bradley Kenneth. For an appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2023, she wore a vinyl record dress from Margiela’s “Artisanal” fall winter 2008 collection, and sheer golden custom Margiela mini-dress to the 2024 Grammys. She will often pick up a Margiela accessory too, like the Gentle Monster x Maison Margiela sunglasses collab.
Following her Paris visit, we might hope to expect to see Miley Cyrus’s summer mode of dressing incorporate late London designers like Vivienne Westwood, maybe young blood like Conner Ives, and more fun vintage finds.
