During the 2024 Grammys, Miley Cyrus rocked a bold and daring look with confidence, showing off her body. Some people loved it for being unique, but others thought it was too revealing. Her hairstyle also received a lot of attention, both positive and negative.
The 31-year-old singer showcased her bold fashion sense, wearing a stunning gold gown that accentuated her figure. Her hairstyle was quite unique too, with a lot of volume.
Her outfit seemed to take inspiration from Madonna’s iconic cone bra, featuring a custom naked ensemble by Maison Margiela made out of gold safety pins. The mesh gown was covering only her breasts and forming a metallic panty around her waist.
It seems like Cyrus took some cues from another famous icon for her hairstyle, as she sported a sky-high hairdo reminiscent of her godmother, Dolly Parton. Sticking to the golden theme, she completed her look with gold Tabi heels, keeping her outfit sleek and minimalist by skipping any additional accessories.
While numerous admirers commended her overall look, describing her as “pretty” and expressing enthusiasm to see her donning this style again, some people immediately voiced their disapproval. One commenter remarked, ’’She’s leaving nothing to the imagination and that hairstyle is way too elegant for safety pins.’’
Miley’s hairstyle sparked conversation online, with some likening it to Kurt Russell’s look from the 80s. One commenter even joked, ’’Kurt definitely wore it better.’’ Some also drew comparisons to the iconic Jane Fonda. It’s quite uncommon to spot such a hairstyle on the red carpet in 2024, given that current hair trends lean towards simplicity.
We admire Miley Cyrus’s glowing appearance and wish her all the best in her professional and personal endeavors. Since 2021, Miley has been open about her relationship with drummer Maxx Morando. Let’s dive into the intriguing story of how this couple first crossed paths.

“Stop Equating Thinness With Health and Happiness,” How Lena Dunham Inspires People to Fall in Love With Their Curves and Scars
There are so many things in the world that we may admire or even get inspired by, but there’s one main thing we may want to fall in love with before we start noticing the beauty of other things. It’s our own reflection in the mirror. Among all the numerous recipes for conjuring up self-love within ourselves, psychologists advise us to never compare ourselves to others and stop caring about other people’s opinions. Actress and producer Lena Dunham knows a lot about cultivating love for her own body despite all the criticism she faced, and she happily shares her journey with us all.
Lena Dunham doesn’t accept the term “body positivity,” and here’s why.
Actress and writer Lena Dunham has recently added another string to her bow and collaborated with the brand 11 Honoré to create a plus-size clothing collection. But the very term “plus size” frustrates Lena, and so is the term “body positivity.” In one of her Instagram posts, she explains that she feels more “body tolerant” than “body positive.”
In her interview, Dunham said, “The thing that’s complicated about the body-positive movement is it can be for the privileged few who have a body that looks the way people want to feel positive. We want curvy bodies that look like Kim Kardashian has been up-sized slightly. We want big beautiful butts and big beautiful breasts and no cellulite and faces that look like you could smack them onto thin women.”
Dunham has a very special relationship with her own body.
Dunhams path to self-love started with a decade-long journey with endometriosis. Since she started her own fight against it, she has been candidly sharing how it influenced both her emotional health and her relationship with her own body image. In her Instagram post, she emotionally described how she fluctuated between loving her body and the opposite.
She wrote, “Ya know when you’re home alone, and you realize you’d be happier in a hot lil’ onesie than your ketchup and cat food stained pajamas? And it’s not about a boy or a photo shoot or a weight loss before-and-after, it’s just for the feeling of glee you get from dressing your one and only corporeal form in pleasing fabrics, the unique pleasure of admiring the twists and turns of the body that loves the heck out of you even when you don’t love it.”
Dunham is powerfully addressing all people who come to her page with criticism.
In 2021, Dunham tied the knot with musician Luis Felber. It was such a darling event for her that she wore 3 wedding dresses to marry her love and shared the photos on her Instagram. However, she started getting some “gnarly” comments in her feed from people who commented on her body and appearance. The actress didn’t hesitate for a minute to address them with a powerful message.
She wrote, “One narrative I take issue with, largely because it’s a story I don’t want other women, other people, to get lodged in their heads, is that I should somehow be criticized because my body has changed since I was last on television. […] But lastly, when will we learn to stop equating thinness with health/happiness?”
Dunham’s powerful message can be echoed in the hearts of many.
For all people who have ever hesitated about embracing their body image, Dunham has some simple yet wise advice. She says, “Of course weight loss can be the result of positive change in habits, but guess what? So can weight gain. The pics I’m being compared to are from when I was with an undiagnosed illness. In the last 4 years, I’ve begun my life as someone who aspires toward health and not just achievement.
These changes have allowed me to be the kind of sister/friend/daughter that I want to be and yes — meet my husband (who, by the way, doesn’t recognize me in those old photos because he sees how dimmed my light was). I say this for any other person whose appearance has been changed with time, illness, or circumstance — it’s okay to live in your present body without treating it as transitional. I am, and I’m really enjoying it. Love you all.”
