Miley Cyrus breaks silence on 'feud' with Jennifer Lawrence
Miley Cyrus has officially addressed speculation that she took a subtle jab at Jennifer Lawrence in her 2023 music video for song Flowers.
The rumors stemmed from the striking resemblance between the gold gown Cyrus wore in the video and a similar metallic dress worn by Lawrence - who previously worked with the singer's ex-husband Liam Hemsworth - on the red carpet 2012.
Cyrus, 32, was recently approached by a reporter who questioned the intent behind the outfit choice in the music video, which many believed referenced Lawrence's appearance at The Hunger Games premiere over a decade ago.
'Miley, was your "Flowers" dress a reference to Jennifer Lawrence?' the fan asked.
The pop star responded calmly, saying, 'No, but I love that dress of hers.'
The encounter appeared to have taken place as Cyrus was photographed arriving at Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles.
The gold gown that Cyrus wore in the Flowers video is an archival piece from Yves Saint Laurent.
Its release in January 2023 immediately drew comparisons to the gold Prabal Gurung cut-out dress Lawrence wore to The Hunger Games premiere, where she starred alongside Hemsworth.
Fans quickly speculated that the dress and other visual elements in the video were subtle nods to Cyrus' past relationship with Hemsworth.
The couple had a highly publicized relationship that lasted about a decade, with an engagement in 2012, a breakup in 2013, a reconciliation in 2016, and a marriage in 2018.
They ultimately separated less than a year later.
Unfounded rumors about a possible fling between Lawrence and Hemsworth swirled for years, especially during the time they co-starred in The Hunger Games films.
The baseless speculation gained renewed attention following the release of Flowers, particularly because of the parallels fans claimed to see between the women's dresses.
However, Lawrence publicly denied any cheating in her June 2023 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
When asked directly whether she and Hemsworth had been involved while he was with Cyrus, Lawrence replied, 'Not true. Not true, total rumor.'
She did, however, admit that she and Hemsworth shared a kiss - but clarified it happened well after his breakup with Cyrus.
Despite Cyrus addressing the rumors head on, fans continued to speculate that the dress was in fact a nod to Lawrence
'We all know Liam and I, like, kissed one time,' Lawrence said.
'It was years after they broke up. So I just assume [the music video] was a coincidence.'
Lawrence had previously mentioned the kiss in a 2015 appearance on the same show, attributing it to their close friendship.
'Liam's real hot. What would you have done?' she joked at the time.
But fans aren't super quick to believe Cyrus' pretty straightforward comment.
'That answer was shady,' one TikTok user commented on the video of Cyrus, while another said, 'That's a classy way to say yes.'
'Nawww it's def about Jennifer Lawrence hahahaha,' another wrote.

Stanley Cup-winning hockey stars try to hook teammate up with stunning model Sommer Ray amid celebrations
The Florida Panthers are using their Stanley Cup success to try and seal a high-profile girlfriend for one of their teammates... and it's all playing out for the whole world to see. The Panthers sealed back-to-back titles with a 4-2 series win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, and it has been wall-to-wall partying for the players ever since. Amid the wild celebrations, star man Matthew Tkachuk took to social media in a bold bid to try and hook up his teammate Anton Lundell with a girl: none other than DJ and model Sommer Ray. The situation all began to unfold when another of the Florida players - Sasha Barkov - brought Ray, 28, into the conversation on an Instagram Live stream. While wearing the uniform of another of his teammates, Sam Reinhart, Barkov revealed that he has 'two names on my Instagram search'. Revealing more, he said: 'Sommer Ray and Sam Reinhart. But one is by mistake. I typed Sommer Ray because I was trying to type Sam Reinhart.' A few hours later, the model was clearly still on the lips of the team, as Tkachuk took to X to shoot his shot for a young teammate. He wrote: 'Sorry for bothering you @SommerRay... but our friend Anton Lundell says hi!! Great guy' The hilarious exchange all unfolded on Friday night and as of Sunday morning, Ray is yet to respond - despite her comments section being flooded with Panthers fans trying to help out their man. Panthers players, meanwhile, are preparing for yet another parade through the streets of Florida, and it would be no surprise to see Ray mentioned again during the next set of celebrations. The DJ recently went viral after it emerged she had turned down an eyewatering $40million to join OnlyFans during Covid. Speaking on YouTuber George Janko's podcast, she said: 'In that time it was like, every single person in my life was coming to me and telling me, "Sommer, if you don't start an OnlyFans, you're stupid, you're stupid",' she said. '"Like how could you not do that?" 'The money I could make would be insane. Someone was saying, in that time with COVID... they said I could have made $40million or something like that.' Despite her insistence on not joining the adult content website, Ray is not doing badly on her own, with her net worth recently valued at around $8m. Lundell, meanwhile, is currently on a six-year, $30m deal with the Panthers, and he received a signing bonus of $2.5m this time last year.
