Miley Cyrus doesn’t just walk into a room—she owns it. At 32, the once-Disney-darling-turned-pop-powerhouse made her first Golden Globes appearance since 2009, and she did it like only Miley can: with a smoldering mix of rock star grit and old-Hollywood celebrity glamour.
On January 5, Cyrus descended upon The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles wearing a jaw-dropping Celine by Hedi Slimane gown, complete with embroidered cutouts that could make a bishop blush. Draped in dazzling De Beers jewelry, Miley reminded the room—and the world—that she’s still the queen of reinvention.
Style That Screams “Don’t You Dare Look Away”
Her hair? A punk-meets-pop hybrid that hairstylist Bob Recine called “a mashup of Debbie Harry’s edge and Japanese anime drama.” It was undone yet deliberate, a testament to Miley’s knack for making chaos look chic. Recine credits the look to a trio of Nexxus sprays, which added enough volume and shine to make even gravity jealous.
The makeup? Full-throttle rock star. Think smoky eyes that could kill and a confidence that said, I’ve been here before, but this time, it’s my stage.
The Nomination: A Star and Her Moment
Cyrus wasn’t just at the Globes to turn heads—though she certainly did that. She was there as a nominee, competing for Best Original Song for “Beautiful That Way,” a haunting ballad she co-wrote for Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl. The film stars Pamela Anderson, whose portrayal of a Vegas dancer is already being hailed as a career-defining performance.
In true Miley fashion, she took to Instagram to celebrate the nomination, giving shoutouts to Anderson, Coppola, and her co-collaborators Andrew Wyatt and Lykke Li. “It’s an honor to be nominated alongside my friends,” she wrote. But the real kicker? Her support for Anderson: “Pamela is graciously sharing her moment with us. I’m rooting for her; it’s so fun to watch her shine.”
This isn’t just a nomination for Miley—it’s a punctuation mark on a stellar two years. In February 2024, she snagged her first Grammy for Flowers, a breakup anthem that had both TikTok and the Billboard charts in a chokehold.
A Dress That Made History (Again)
Speaking of Flowers, Miley’s Grammy look—a vintage Bob Mackie gown from his FW2002 collection—was almost as talked about as her win. Featuring a bralette, a chest cutout, and asymmetric tassels that swayed like they had their own rhythm, the gown was peak Miley: bold, unapologetic, unforgettable.
In classic Cyrus style, she later bought the gown at auction, part of a collection celebrating Mackie’s legendary career. The proceeds benefited MusicCares, a nonprofit supporting artists in need. Miley called the gown “a celebration of the relationship between music, artistry, and glamour,” while Mackie himself declared, “That girl was born to perform.”
From Disney Darling to Hollywood Dynamo
It’s wild to think this is the same girl who last hit the Golden Globes red carpet in 2009. Back then, 16-year-old Miley was all innocence in a strapless white gown, flanked by her parents, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus. Her song “I Thought I Lost You” from Bolt was nominated, but she lost to Bruce Springsteen. If you ask Miley, though, losing to The Boss isn’t exactly a bad consolation prize.
Fast forward to 2025, and Miley Cyrus is a far cry from that sweet teen with a half-updo and chandelier earrings. She’s a pop icon who’s spent the last decade shedding labels, breaking molds, and making headlines. She’s embraced the chaos, owned her evolution, and delivered a masterclass in how to grow up on your terms in front of the whole damn world.
The Takeaway? Miley’s Just Getting Started
If this year’s Golden Globes proved anything, it’s that Miley Cyrus isn’t just a star—she’s a universe unto herself. Whether she’s belting out Grammy-winning hits, rocking a custom cutout gown, or championing her collaborators, Miley does it all with a swagger that feels untouchable yet entirely authentic.
Here’s to Miley: the rebel, the artist, the unstoppable force. Keep watching—she’s not done yet.
