Miley Cyrus in little black Versace at the iHeartRadio festival: hot or tacky?

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus was in attendance at the iHeartRadio festival held in Miami over the weekend. I have to say that I enjoyed Miley’s crop top and silver skirt from last year (when the event was held in Vegas) much more than this barely-there Versace number. I mean, there’s a fine line between “little black dress” and a “look at me” sort of ridiculousness, and these nipple-button-pockets definitely fall into the latter camp.

Miley Cyrus

As a slight diversion before I get to more fashion, Hollywood Life claims to have an exclusive from a friend of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. Supposedly, Liam is super upset about the sexy image Miley projects in her “We Can’t Stop” video, but Miley thinks Liam is really lame “to tell her to tone it down” although she supposedly has made some concessions (i.e., she dressed down for their movie date a few weeks ago). Further, Miley is torn between “trying to be respectful to Liam but also be true to herself as an artist.” Because I guess twerking is considered “art” now. Someone call James Franco.

Kesha

Ke$ha looked rather tame (for her) on the red carpet in a sheer, long-sleeved black top with bra and tiny shorts peeking out underneath. She accessorized with some cool, swirly sheer stockings. This outfit is much better than what she wore onstage while shooting whipped cream into a back-up dancer’s mouth. Also, too much self tanner.

Kesha

LL Cool J was there too! Do Ladies still Love Cool James? He recently released his 13th record, Authentic, to moderate sales, but I think he’s more focused on his acting career right now with the success of “NCIS: Los Angeles.”

LL Cool J

Audrina Patridge showed up for some reason as well. Something nice: I love her hair.

    With Miley doesn’t it always lean tacky? Also thought Kesha was a tanner Ashley Tisdale. Not sure if that’s a compliment but considering what she usually looks like…

    • J says:

      Next up she’ll loose her mind while getting sued multiple times and/or jail time. It’s the same story on repeat: Amanda Bynes, Beiber, Britney Spears, Lohan, etc.. even Gaga to some extent. It’s the Fame Machine.

  2. marie says:

    wow, I wasn’t expecting it to be so short but she’s got the body, so I say go for it. (not a fan of her hair here though)

    and yes, I will always love LL..

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Yeah, I’ll give this one to her. She looks hot. Not many chicks could pull off that dress.

      LL is forever sexy.

  3. LahdidahBaby says:

    Except for the nip buttons I rather like it.

  4. Eleonor says:

    If I had that body I would show it like that.

  5. Shelley says:

    Miley is hot. She looks good in the clothes she’s been wearing lately. And honestly not many white girls have any business twerking but Miley is working it.
    She must just lose Liam. I think he is just jealous because when they hooked up he was more of the sex symbol.

    • Nina W says:

      Or maybe he’s just embarrassed by her snorting white substances off of toilets at the Met Gala, what a prude.

  6. Devlin says:

    It looks painful to wear (also, what happened to her rack, well, lack there of, but still)….yes, it’s tacky. The “look at me” sexy schtick has worn thin.

    • La Zingaro says:

      Well, then I guess at 20 she should just wear a muu muu and house slippers? Who wants to be sexy forever? I don’t get people hating on a kid for trying to find her style. I guess you were perfectly coiffed and fashioned your whole life?

      • Tapioca says:

        But is she really a kid “trying to find her style”?

        From here she looks like a carbon copy Disney Princess ordered by the middle-aged corporate suits at her record label to shake off her old cutsie image in the most tired, derivative way possible, with the help of a stylist, eye-wateringly expensive high-end fashion and not a single hint of originality anywhere. At least Ke$ha looks like trash because she genuinely is!

        See also: Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, yawn…

      • blaize says:

        @Tapioca: I’m pretty sure Miley, Christina, and some of those other girls mostly wear whatever they want. It’s normal for pop stars to experiment with several different looks during their careers, especially while they’re young. Remember Madonna, Cher, Pink, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Rihana, and Nicki Minaj’s outfits? If they can wear whatever they want, so can the other girls. We need to get rid of this lame Disney double standard. And Demi’s image isn’t even that sexual. Neither is Selena’s- she just starred in a provocative movie role, like every other actor and actress in Hollywood.

  7. antisocial says:

    This lady will ALWAYS love Cool J 🙂

    • judyjudy says:

      Same here.

      It looks like he’s wearing lady glasses in these pics. Still hot though.

    • j.eyre says:

      We share a birthday. I have always felt like that meant he should have sex with me. Same with Jason Bateman.

      As a matter of fact, a Cool J, Eyre J, Bateman J sandwich would be the perfect birthday gift – if anyone is wondering what to get me next year.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        You’re lucky, J. I share a birthday with Phil Spector, Jared Leto, Lars Ulrich, and David Walsh.

        Slim pickins.

      • MyCatLoves TV says:

        For me it is Flavor Flav and Jerry Lewis. If that is my sandwich option, I’m on a diet thank you very much!

      • Beatriz says:

        “We share a birthday. I have always felt like that meant he should have sex with me.”–XD!

      • Nina W says:

        William Shatner, Steven Sondheim, and Andrew Lloyd Webber! Sadly I have no musical talent but I do like Canadian ham!

  8. poppy says:

    ll always

  9. bns says:

    She wants to be sexy, but she still looks like a kid.

  10. Kiddo says:

    Miley looks great.

  11. serena says:

    This time I can’t really blame Liam. Miley is being ridiculous with this ‘sexy’ image, that to be frank, is not sexy at all just trashy.

  12. The Original Original says:

    She is really really trying to pull off this trampy punk vibe and it does not work at all for me

  13. diva says:

    Nicki Minaj or Rihanna would have rocked to better and I’m not fans of either one.this fits their look and image. Again Miley just looks try hard

  14. Stef Leppard says:

    “Hot or tacky?”

    Isn’t it always tacky when it comes to Miley? I’m just not into her oversexualized image these days. It’s like when you see a supersized truck and think “Someone’s trying to compensate for something…” Miley is trying to compensate for her lack of talent by wearing clothes that shout “SEE? I’M SEXY!! I AM!!”

    • blaize says:

      Then what do you think Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, and Beyoncé are trying to compensate for with their sexy clothes? Could it be that people DO like to wear sexy outfits, talented or not?

      • Stef Leppard says:

        No, I do think that Xtina and Mariah have beautiful voices, so they wouldn’t be compensating for their lack of talent, they would be compensating for something else. In Xtina’s case, she seems to suffer from low self-esteem, for example. That is the impression that I get from someone like Miley who is trying too hard. I have to wonder, why is she trying so hard? Something must be lacking.

      • Stef Leppard says:

        Also, I don’t think wearing a “sexy” dress means you are trying to compensate for something. It’s the trashy/trampy try-hard outfits that indicate a deficiency. See for example Jennifer Lawrence, who is talented and can wear a sexy dress but doesn’t dress in an overly sexual or trashy way.

      • blaize says:

        Policing what women can and can’t wear, scandalization over the human body, slut-shaming, and the belief that there’s got to be something ‘wrong’ with a woman if she dresses a certain way really aren’t new concepts. Calling names for that is about as old as policing when one loses their virginity, how many people one has sex with, etc. It’s all about the ‘importance’ of ‘sexual purity’. (Barf). We should have gotten over shame about the human body, fear of the prurient, and the need to police wardrobe years ago. It’s really silly when a person’s clothes generate personal attacks even when their privates are covered and their clothing is free of bigotry. Can’t we all just be mature about the human body? She’s not even showing anything that can’t be seen at the beach. As a matter fact, these celebrities that we’ve mentioned RARELY show anything that can’t be seen at the beach, so there really is no need for the puritanical act of ‘scarlet lettering’.

      • Stef Leppard says:

        Um, yeah… So to skip over all the tangential, inaccurate opinions you’re trying to stuff into my mouth, as I say in my original statement, I think Miley’s new *trashy* look indicates that she is trying way too hard to make people think she is sexy. She does have a nice body. Hopefully she is just experimenting and one day soon heads in a direction that is more flattering!

      • Nina W says:

        Blaize, dial back the rhetoric, there is no Puritan visiting Celebitchy, so please just climb on down from that high horse before you hurt yourself.

  15. Devlin says:

    @La Zingaro: LOL!….lighten up…we were asked for our opinion: hot or tacky. It’s (in MY opinion, tacky.

  16. Sabrine says:

    She can’t be Hannah Montana forever. Some people seem to think she should stay in that mode. She’s grown up now and her persona is not really over the top, just a bit edgy and fun. She looks like she’s having a really good time.

    I don’t like the tats though. If she adds any more, it will look really bad. They do nothing for her.

    • blaize says:

      Agreed. All this pearl-clutching, name-calling, and handwringing that has been going on over this girl over the past few years is a little ridiculous. I thought this was 2013, not 1950. To get so upset over a celebrity’s style choices that you start using the language of bigots and cyberbullies to describe that person is pathetic, and just shows that the person is uptight.

      • Nina W says:

        You troll through the posts casting aspersions and yet others are not to be allowed to do the same, your pretension really annoys me blaize.

    • Glaughy says:

      I agree. I really DON’T understand why many people on this blog are so offended by how Miley dresses… she’s 20, right? jeez, look at what other pop stars wear at 20.

  17. kay says:

    what on earth in going on in this girl’s head? give me hannah montana any time not this over sexed being

  18. Mayday says:

    She’s so pretty I wish she wouldn’t try so hard, she really doesnt have to.

  19. LaLa2 says:

    Her body is tight.

  20. leo says:

    Is celebitchy being paid to cover this girl? I just don’t get the fascination with this try hard muppet. Rihanna would have looked smoking in that dress.

  21. blaize says:

    I actually like it, even though it could be just a little longer in the front. Miley is clearly not afraid of taking fashion risks and wears whatever she damn well pleases. To some, this is ‘problematic’, because ‘a lady is to dress modestly’ (insert eye-roll). Any time she’s not fully covered from the top of her bust line to almost her knees, you get the personal attacks. This is the 21st century, people, not the 19th. Are we really so prudish? Or is it just because SHE’S the one wearing it, and that’s not what people want for her. I think that’s it.

  22. OriginallyBlue says:

    I love LL.
    Ke$ha kind of looks like Ashley Tisdale.

  23. gogoGorilla says:

    Yawn. Get over it, Miley. (She looks like a baby dominatrix here.)

    LL: HAWT! Always. Always. Always. (Plus, have you ever seen him do any of his workout moves? I saw him doing clapping pushups on some talk show or other. Good lord. *fans self*)

  24. Jennifer12 says:

    Miley is on an endless journey to prove how cool and hardcore she is. She should be BFFs with Avril Lavigne and Kristen Stewart.

  25. Bijlee says:

    Kesha looks like lady gaga, the flower child version.

  26. kim says:

    I expect miles from sexy miley ( aka the female justin bieber) to dress in those tacky unflatering outfits, so not dissapointed. Ugly is as ugly does…and bitch has ugly taste.

  27. Dommy Dearest says:

    Ugh, Miley go away.

    Ke$ha I’m going to always associate with Teen Mom 2 Janelle. Always and forever.

    And that’s never a good thing.

  28. Madriani's Girl says:

    LL Cool J: HELL YES I SO WOULD!

    What am I missing? Why does Miley think she’s an artist? I cut her some slack because look, she’s 19 and is growing up and wants to spread her wings. But she has marginal talent at best, so what’s the deal with that?

    And Kesha? A dumpster on legs.

  29. Lexi says:

    I hate miley’s dress, i hate her new trash look as well!!! Baaarrrrrf!!!! How can she still have a hottie like liam, he is a hundred times better looking than her

    • Jae says:

      A hottie and a cheater – yep, Liam is quite a catch!
      Really, why does this trashy trampy tramp think she is deserving of someone as awesome as him? I mean, she CUT HER HAIR and went all TRAMPY PUNK, what, does she expect to be treated decently after that? By a HOT guy?

      • Nina W says:

        Oh please you have no idea if he cheated or not. You have no way of knowing who is the “bad” one in their relationship, if there even is one. If he does dump her because she’s acting like a giant flake, it’s her own fault. They’re far too young to consider marriage anyway IMO.

      • Jae says:

        You’re right, I don’t have any idea.
        Neither do you.

        But I’m sick and tired of the whole “he’s all nice and good and deserves better because he’s HOT, and she’s all trashy and trampy and Disney-gone-wild, and doesn’t wear pretty dresses anymore and has SHORT HAIR and is a CHIMPMUNK and LOOKS LIKE A BOY, so he should totally be the one to dump her, that’d show her!’ routine.
        Like, everybody, even those, who add a bit about them being too young, expects for their breakup to come and be… some sort of a punishment for her. Punishment for her, release for him. Because he’s hot, you see.

  30. mwow says:

    This dress is actually pretty tame for Miley and I’m glad to see she’s wearing something more sexy & cool rather than tacky & slutty. There IS a way to be sexy without being so overt.

  31. lisa says:

    how can you even notice her dress? i can never get past her chipmunk face. please take some of your millions and get new caps.

  32. Megan Draper says:

    Tacky! She looks like a child playing dress up.

  33. drea says:

    I finally forced myself to watch the entire video of We Can’t Stop. Sorry, the song is crap, the video is crap. And it’s almost like they started to make the video for an upbeat song but decided to cut the footage for that slow-ish song instead (which kind of feels like a knock-off of Rihanna’s Cheers to me).

    As for Liam, I don’t buy that they’re still anything like they used to be. Best case scenario, maybe they’re giving each other space. Worst (probable?) case scenario, they haven’t been officially together for months and that one “date” they had was just for show. Her vid was coming out within days, she needed a publicity push. They used to be photographed together all the bloody time, then nothing for months. But suddenly, they all too conveniently reappear for the paps for one night only? Sketchy.

    As for this tacky bondage LBD she has on here… I am so over Miley’s style choices. She just tries too hard.

  34. javierf says:

    Audrina is so beautiful, i really like her

  35. Nina W says:

    LL Cool J is wearing the only outfit here I like.

  36. VioletCrumble says:

    For her age and for what she does, I think she looks great, too. But….what has she done to her mouth-teeth-top lip…?
