The iconic singer-songwriter and actress Miley Cyrus, aka Miley, is one of the most famous and instantly-recognizable stars on the planet.

Gorgeous Miley, 33, is known best for playing Miley Stewart in the Disney Channel television series “Hannah Montana,” and for singles like “Party in the U.S.A.,” “Wrecking Ball,” and “Flowers.”

However, she’s also known as something of a fashion and style icon who isn’t afraid to push the boundaries when it comes to what she wears.

That notion applies as much as anything regarding her red carpet outfits. These are her best and most breathtaking red carpet looks over the years.

Floral & Ethereal

For the 20th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party in 2012, Cyrus was a picture of absolute elegance. She wore a beautiful long-sleeved silver Roberto Cavalli gown.

Suffice it to say, whenever Cyrus dresses for a red carpet event, she knocks it out of the park.

Cyrus has had quite a busy 2026. The star appeared in the “Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special” in March. She released her tenth studio album “Bass Persuades” in September. She is preparing for two headlining shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles in October. Moreover, in May, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (the 2,845th in the Recording category), with Anya Taylor-Joy and Donatella Versace among the speakers for the occasion.

We look forward to seeing more of Miley Cyrus looking incredible on red carpets in the future.
