Queen of Reinvention™ Miley Cyrus has reemerged, hand-in-hand with her boyfriend Maxx Morando, and guess what? They’re out here strutting through New York City like the rock ‘n roll prom king and queen of the fashion multiverse.
The occasion? Oh, just a casual little soirée for Miley’s new album “Something Beautiful,” held at the Four Seasons Hotel—a venue so fancy even your credit score gets nervous walking past it.
Miley, age 32 but forever 22 in our hearts, descended from pop culture Olympus wearing what can only be described as a luxurious fever dream: a brown satin cone-bra dress (Jean Paul Gaultier is somewhere crying tears of joy), with black criss-cross lace detailing and a fringe skirt that screamed “I came here to sing, serve, and possibly cast a fashion spell.” Meanwhile, Maxx Morando was looking like a mysterious indie vampire prince in an all-black outfit, presumably stitched together by the ghost of Johnny Cash and a very chic warlock.
But wait—there’s more. Miley’s momager icon Tish Cyrus was also there, glowing with motherly pride and bling, joined by her new husband Dominic Purcell, a.k.a. the real-life human version of a rugged action movie DVD cover from 2006. This family doesn’t do anything less than a full glam entrance—even their emotional support water bottles probably have agents.
And just when you thought this was peak Miley behavior, let’s roll it back to last week, when she dropped her ninth (yes, NINTH) studio album and decided to celebrate not by going to a spa or throwing confetti in a private jet, but by making a surprise appearance at the Brooklyn queer fever dream known as 3 Dollar Bill. That’s right—she blessed a gay nightclub with her presence like some disco fairy godmother. Probably sang, danced, and caused three separate people to come out of the closet on the spot.
Miley Cyrus is in her New York era, her album drop empress era, her cone-bra enchantress era—and honestly, we’re just lucky to be witnessing it. Godspeed, Maxx. Hold that hand tight. You’re dating a living, breathing glitter-drenched cyclone of art, chaos, and fringe skirts.
