Fans couldn’t help but notice Miley Cyrus left out one very notable person in her acceptance speech at the Grammys.
Miley Stunned On The Red Carpet
Known for her bold and daring fashion choices, Cyrus made a memorable entrance in a dress made entirely of safety pins.
Miley Cyrus arrived at the 2024 Grammys wearing a custom creation by designer John Galliano for Maison Margiela.
The dress, made entirely of gold safety pins, left little to the imagination. With 14,000 pins arranged in a geometric pattern, the dress showcased Cyrus’ fearless sense of style.
The pins created a cone bra effect on the top and a thong-like shape below, pushing the boundaries of red carpet fashion.
The Genius Behind the Dress: John Galliano
Known for his avant-garde designs and boundary-pushing creativity, Galliano has been a prominent figure in the fashion industry for decades.
Maison Margiela, the fashion house he currently leads, is known for its unconventional and thought-provoking designs. Galliano’s collaboration with Cyrus resulted in a dress that perfectly embodied her bold and unapologetic persona.
A Nod to Galliano’s Past
Interestingly, this is not the first time John Galliano has explored the concept of a safety pin dress.
Back in 1997, during his own eponymous collection, Galliano presented a similar design that captivated the fashion world.
The Maison Margiela safety pin dress worn by Cyrus pays homage to Galliano’s past work while adding a modern twist that aligns perfectly with her personal style.
A Hairdo Inspired by the ’70s
To complement her daring dress, Miley Cyrus opted for a hairdo that harkened back to the ’70s.
Her dramatic updo, reminiscent of the iconic hairstyles favored by country stars like her godmother Dolly Parton, added a touch of vintage glamour to the overall look.
The combination of the safety pin dress and the ’70s-inspired hairdo created a unique juxtaposition of past and present, making Cyrus’ red carpet appearance truly unforgettable.
Accessories that Shine
No red carpet look is complete without the right accessories, and Miley Cyrus certainly didn’t disappoint. She paired her safety pin dress with gold velvet Tabi heels by Maison Margiela, adding a luxurious touch to the ensemble.
To further elevate her look, Cyrus adorned herself with jewelry by Tiffany & Co., adding a touch of sparkle and sophistication.
Grammy Success and Style Evolution
The 2024 Grammy Awards proved to be a milestone for Miley Cyrus in more ways than one.
Not only did she make a fashion statement with her safety pin dress, but she also took home her first-ever Grammy Award. Cyrus won the award for Best Pop Solo Performance for her song “Flowers,” marking a significant achievement in her music career.
Her success at the Grammys is a testament to her talent and the evolution of her style over the years.
Memes and GIFs flooded timelines, with many praising Cyrus for her fearless approach to red carpet fashion. The dress became an instant talking point, solidifying Cyrus’ status as a fashion icon who isn’t afraid to take risks
The Bigger Story
But, in addition to Miley’s fashion choice, there was another detail fans couldn’t help but focus on at The Grammys.
The former Disney Channel star won her first-ever Grammy in the category of Best Pop Solo Performance, later returning to the stage a to collect the award for Record Of The Year.
“This award is amazing,” she began in her speech. “But I really hope that it doesn’t change anything because my life was beautiful yesterday. Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular.”
The “Flowers” singer went on to thank everyone who helped make the hit song happen, including her mom, her sister, her “love” and her “main gays.”
She also made sure to emphasize that if anyone was left out of her speech, it was on purpose.
“Anyone else? … I don’t think I forgot anyone,” she concluded in her speech. “But I might have forgotten underwear. Bye!”
But, fans of the singer immediately noticed one important person she did “forget”: Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.
“Did y’all catch the shade Miley threw at her dad during her award speech?,” one person asked on X, which was echoed by many others.
While it’s not exactly clear if this was a purposeful snub, Miley made it pretty clear that she didn’t leave anyone out of her speech.
Family Drama
This comes amid rumors of a family feud following Billy Ray and Cyrus’ mom, Tish, announcing their divorce in April 2022 after nearly 30 years of marriage.
Tish has since gone on to marry Prison Break star Dominic Purcell, which seems to have caused a split in the family.
Fans noticed that only Miley–along with Tish’s two children from a previous relationship–were at the wedding, despite Billy Ray and Tish also being parents to Cyrus’ sister, Noah, and brother, Braison.
Tish and her other daughter, Brandi, were apparently the only members of the family in attendance at the Grammys as Cyrus won her first award–so it seems like the divorce has really taken a toll on the whole family.
