Miley Cyrus surprised America at the 97th Annual Oscars by singing her new smash hit. The announcement event held at the Dolby Theatre on Oscar Sunday March 2, 2025. The 32-year-old singer and actress wore a stunning figure-hugging gown by Alexander McQueen, which she paired with oversized blue aviator sunglasses. Her ensemble was a stunning tribute to old-school glam, yet looked thoroughly modern at the same time.
Cyrus hit the red carpet with an amazing new ‘do, all undulating Old Hollywood waves. She said she “really tried to channel” the sultry and glamorous fictional character, Jessica Rabbit. Her hairstylist, Bob Recine, wanted to design something big and glamorous to match her beautiful, chic gown.
“For tonight’s look, I was inspired by fictional character Jessica Rabbit for Miley’s voluminous, marcel waves. I loved her approach to the Oscars this year as she is keeping it youthful and fun but still that high-end, classic Hollywood glam that the Oscars is.” – Bob Recine
At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party later that evening, Cyrus debuted a bold new hairstyle with micro bangs that drew attention for their edgy appearance. Recine was going for a glam, luxury aspect to her McQueen dress and wanted her hair to reflect that same spirit. He made sure that her hairstyle echoed the gown’s sultry and sophisticated vibe.
“I wanted to bring her sexy, chic McQueen dress to life by matching her hair to be super big, sexy and chic as well.” – Bob Recine
Cyrus’s stylist, the inimitable Brad Goretsky, has been a creative partner with the star for years, and their ongoing collaboration has produced many iconic, fashion-forward appearances. Recine describes Cyrus as a “fashion-forward, edgy and fashion-educated woman,” highlighting their mutual trust in crafting unique styles.
After the 2025 Oscars, Cyrus showed off her brand new cut in New York City on April 21. Her long-gone bangs now continued well down her forehead. This new ‘70s-esque curly shag chop is completely in line with her recent style evolution and clear openness to try new things with her look. On the same day she made her debut eyebrow bleaching stab, proving she’s all in on making fierce moves in fashion.
“She trusts me and I trust her.” – Bob Recine
Cyrus is still in the process of redefining her new image with progressive hairstyles and beauty trends making headlines. Her recent looks at high-profile events illustrate her ability to blend classic influences with contemporary trends, making her a standout figure in the entertainment industry.
