Miley Cyrus received praise for her stylish negligee minidress, but the May 2022 photos that included her sticking her tongue out received mixed reviews. While fans couldn’t fault the 31-year-old’s sleek style as she stepped out in New York City, many felt that a cheeky photo showing her with her tongue out cheapened everything — in fact, she was even told that she’d “ruined her look.”
Following a scruffy era that brought the COVID mullet, Miley Cyrus transitioned to a sleeker, more Hollywood glam look in 2022, one she’s still maintained today. That said, it looks like users online wished she’d kept her tongue in.
Miley Cyrus Turns Heads With Minidress Style
Looking gorgeous in a fitted, strappy minidress in black satin, Miley highlighted her curves as she also flaunted her toned legs.
Rocking lacy accents around the bust and with the rich fabrics hugging every curve, the “Flowers” singer dazzled in her paneled number, one boasting structured cups, a fitted bodice, plus a devilishly short finish.
Miley added in black fishnet stockings and a black pair of court heels for more glam, also showing off her many tattoos. The ex to Liam Hemsworth sported her blonde locks down, making sure to showcase her features with a matte face of makeup. The Grammy winner, aged 29 at the time of the photos, was headed to an NBC dinner in the Big Apple. In one photo, she turned around and stuck out her tongue as the paparazzi caught her.
Told Sticking Out Tongue ‘Ruined Her Look’
The sentiment on The Daily Mail‘s images was very clear. “She actually looks pretty. I’d wish she’d stop with the tired tongue out though,” one fan said, earning over 900 upvotes. “I was going to say how nice she looks until she stuck her tongue out,” another user replied, with this comment gaining over 600 likes.
“Ruined the look with the gross tongue pose,” a third stated. Miley might get slammed for sticking out her tongue, but the pop superstar is more than having the last laugh. In January 2023, she ushered in her biggest era yet, dropping her “Flowers” singledom anthem, with March of last year bringing her Endless Summer Vacation EP.
“Flowers” went on to break endless streaming records, although for Miley, her 2024 Grammy win for the song was likely the biggest reward. This year has also brought new music from Miley, with March seeing her collaborate with singer Beyonce on the R&B hitmaker’s Act II: Cowboy Carter country album.
