Miley Cyrus knows how to get people talking without saying a single word. In a May 18 video for British Vogue, the cover star dove into some of her most talked-about looks, including the teddy bear bodysuit she wore to the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. “This teddy bear costume, which was extremely controversial and angered a lot of people …’ she began, closing her voice to emphasize the absurdity of the situation. “This was inspired by a sculpture by Todd James that I had fallen in love with. The bear reminded me of myself for some reason. I loved it.”
Cyrus said that James agreed to build her a custom bear sculpture for her VMA performance, which would add even more meaning to the outfit. Because the bear was so big, she could hide inside and emerge for her grand entrance. “It was a rebirth,” she explained, officially clarifying the inspiration behind the legendary bathing suit.
Aside from her VMA bodysuit, Cyrus also talked about some other eye-catching costumes, such as the ethereal look she wore in the 2019 “Don’t Call Me Angel” music video featuring Ariana Grande and Lana Del Rey. “These angel wings — which have been in my unit for a few years — strangely disappeared, and about a week later, Lil Nas X made a music video of him wearing wings very similar to these,” she said. Chance?
Cyrus’ style has evolved a lot over the years, which she attributed in part to her early days as a Disney Channel star. “I didn’t have that much control because I was playing a character, so it wasn’t always about my own feeling,” she said. Some of her more polarizing looks surfaced as she began to differentiate herself as an individual, separating her personal aesthetic from that of her character. “When I started to understand the magic of Hannah [Montana] was actually the magic of me, I started to incorporate my own style into Hannah’s style,” she said.
