It’s 8:00 a.m. in New York, and Miley Cyrus is already dressed like it’s midnight in Berlin.
For her July 26th performance on Good Morning America, the 20-year-old pop provocateur stepped out in what can only be described as a sartorial dare: white furry hot pants—yes, furry—paired with black suede thigh-high boots that screamed after-hours glam. The boots alone could’ve closed a Mugler show. But Miley? She wore them to breakfast television.
The cropped top, sequined and unapologetically loud, bore the iconic “I ♥ NY” slogan—Ashish, of course. That label’s known for its glitter-drenched irony, and Miley leaned in hard. The silhouette was cropped just enough to flaunt her toned midriff, a deliberate styling choice that echoed her performance the night before on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she grinded unapologetically with scantily-clad dancers. Continuity, darling.
Let’s talk synergy. The red lipstick—classic, matte, slightly blue-toned—was a nod to old Hollywood, but the boots? Rumor has it they were Louboutin, red-bottomed and ruthless. That specific rouge? Very Côte d’Azur, 1960. Her platinum hair was slicked back into a high ponytail—tight, polished, almost severe. It gave the whole look a dominatrix-in-SoHo vibe. Not subtle. Not trying to be.
The backdrop? ABC Studios, midtown Manhattan. Family-friendly programming, meet post-Disney rebellion. Her pose—hips cocked, eyes defiant—was pure performance art. She wasn’t just singing “We Can’t Stop.” She was living it.
Fashion-wise, it’s a collision of clubwear and Americana. Think Debbie Harry meets early Gaga, with a dash of East Village thrift. The furry briefs? They’re not wearable. Let’s be honest. But they’re memorable. And in celebrity fashion, that’s half the game.
One stylist backstage reportedly muttered, “She’s giving Studio 54 at sunrise.” I’d agree. It’s bold, it’s brash, it’s borderline inappropriate for morning TV—and that’s precisely the point.
So, is Miley redefining morning fashion? Or just trolling us with thigh-highs before coffee?
Either way… we’re watching.
