Opting for quiet sophistication, Miley chose a sleeveless black mini dress by MM6, the avant-garde diffusion line from Maison Margiela. With its clean cut, high neckline, and flattering fit, the dress offered a nod to '60s mod minimalism but with a sultry edge that only Miley can pull off. Think less red carpet drama, more backstage elegance.
Rather than reach for towering heels, Miley anchored the look with Maison Margiela's iconic Tabi ballerina flats.
The split-toe design lent just enough quirk to the ensemble while still keeping things understated, perfect for an intimate album launch hosted by TikTok at LA's legendary Chateau Marmont.
Hair and makeup? Pure Miley. Her signature beachy waves were styled to perfection - loose, voluminous, and tousled with just a hint of rock 'n' roll rebellion. A bronzed glow highlighted her features, while smoky eyeliner and soft nude lips completed the look without overpowering it.
In true anti-bling fashion, Miley skipped the obvious statement jewellery. Instead, she let her tattoos shine through, punctuating the minimalist dress with personal meaning and edge. A couple of delicate anklets were her only visible accessories.
The mood of the event - vintage furniture, moody lighting, and warm, nostalgic tones - mirrored her outfit's vibe: personal, polished, and just a bit rebellious. Miley didn't just attend the party. She was the vibe.

Miley Cyrus on mom Tish Cyrus unfollowing her on Instagram, says "she doesn't know how to work her phone"
Miley Cyrus and her mom cleared the air over what really went down when Tish seemingly unfollowed Miley in May--shortly after Miley reunited with dad Billy Ray Cyrus amid speculation about a larger Cyrus family feud, reported E! News. Miley Cyrus and her mom cleared the air over what really went down when Tish seemingly unfollowed Miley in May--shortly after Miley reunited with dad Billy Ray Cyrus amid speculation about a larger Cyrus family feud, reported E! News. "The timing was interesting," Miley said on the June 19 episode of Sorry We're Cyrus. "If you were in the family or not in the family, it was weird timing." Tish said "that is true," before the Hannah Montana alum explained why the timing was so notable. "Like, I went to go see Billy Ray and you mysteriously unfollowed me Tish," Miley teased, "and then you got some backlash and then suddenly you knew how to press that follow button real quick. I'm just kidding!" Miley shared the truth behind the unfollowing, saying, "The truth is, which is boring, is there's a bug in Meta," referring to the company that owns Instagram . Their explanation remained in line with what the duo had previously said about the incident, too. When she was asked about the social media activity back in May, Tish--who is also mom to Trace, 36, Braison, 30, and Noah, 25, with ex Billy Ray--wrote on Instagram at the time, "Have no idea how that happened but it's fixed now," reported E! News. "I would never unfollow Miley, her and I are as close as we've always been," Tish added on X. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo "Period. Love you Little." Meanwhile, Miley made sure it was known that nothing could ever come between her and Tish. "I rarely comment on rumors, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us," she wrote on Instagram a few days later. "She's my best friend. Like a lot of moms, she doesn't know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me-simple, coincidental, and uninteresting." While Miley later admitted that half of her family "weren't speaking to each other at one point," she shed some light into how she and her father "cleaned all that up," reported E! News. "In that situation, I watched what happens when you don't clean things up as they're happening," she said on Monica Lewinsky's Reclaiming podcast earlier this month. "They really do stack, and then all of a sudden you go, 'Oh my god, it's been 10 years, and this is a mess that I barely even know how to start.' This is emotional hoarding." "I just kind of bust through the pile that's stacked, and just go, 'I'm here. You're here. Let's start by having a good time together,'" Miley added. "And then as we start bringing some happiness and joy into each other's life, then we'll just be in a better place to have these conversations. 'Cause I'd rather get it balanced first," reported E! News.

Monsters and memes: Labubu dolls ride China soft-power wave
HighlightsPop Mart's Labubu monster dolls, priced around $40 and sold in blind boxes, have gained international popularity, featuring prominently among celebrities like Rihanna and Cher, and contributing to a positive image of Chinese cultural exports. The rise of Labubu and other Chinese brands is attributed to the influence of social media platforms like TikTok, which have helped shift perceptions of China's image among young Western consumers. Experts suggest that while plush toys alone may not enhance China's political power, they do foster a growing interest in Chinese culture, particularly among younger generations, as evidenced by the enthusiasm for Labubu in various countries. Small, fuzzy and baring sharp teeth, Chinese toymaker Pop Mart 's Labubu monster dolls have taken over the world, drawing excited crowds at international stores and adorning the handbags of celebrities such as Rihanna and Cher. Beijing-based Pop Mart is part of a rising tide of Chinese cultural exports gaining traction abroad, furry ambassadors of a "cool" China even in places associated more with negative public opinion of Beijing such as Europe and North America. Labubus, which typically sell for around $40, are released in limited quantities and sold in "blind boxes", meaning buyers don't know the exact model they will receive. The dolls are "a bit quirky and ugly and very inclusive, so people can relate", interior designer Lucy Shitova told AFP at a Pop Mart store in London, where in-person sales of Labubus have been suspended over fears that fans could turn violent in their quest for the toys. "Now everything goes viral... because of social media. And yes, it's cool. It's different." While neighbouring East Asian countries South Korea and Japan are globally recognised for their high-end fashion, cinema and pop songs, China's heavily censored film and music industry have struggled to attract international audiences, and the country's best-known clothing exporter is fast-fashion website Shein. There have been few success stories of Chinese companies selling upmarket goods under their own brands, faced with stereotypes of cheap and low-quality products. "It has been hard for the world's consumers to perceive China as a brand-creating nation," the University of Maryland's Fan Yang told AFP. Pop Mart has bucked the trend, spawning copycats dubbed by social media users as "lafufus" and detailed YouTube videos on how to verify a doll's authenticity. Brands such as designer womenswear label Shushu/Tong, Shanghai-based Marchen and Beijing-based handbag maker Songmont have also gained recognition abroad over the past few years. "It might just be a matter of time before even more Chinese brands become globally recognisable," Yang said. - TikTok effect - Through viral exports like Labubu, China is "undergoing a soft-power shift where its products and image are increasingly cool among young Westerners," said Allison Malmsten, an analyst at China-based Daxue Consulting. Malmsten said she believed social media could boost China's global image "similar to that of Japan in the 80s to 2010s with Pokemon and Nintendo". Video app TikTok -- designed by China's ByteDance -- paved the way for Labubu's ascent when it became the first Chinese-branded product to be indispensable for young people internationally. Joshua Kurlantzick from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) told AFP that "TikTok probably played a role in changing consumers' minds about China". TikTok, which is officially blocked within China but still accessible with VPN software, has over one billion users, including what the company says is nearly half of the US population. The app has become a focus of national security fears in the United States, with a proposed ban seeing American TikTok users flock to another Chinese app, Rednote, where they were welcomed as digital "refugees". A conduit for Chinese social media memes and fashion trends, TikTok hosts over 1.7 million videos about Labubu. - Labubumania - Cultural exports can "improve the image of China as a place that has companies that can produce globally attractive goods or services", CFR's Kurlantzick told AFP. "I don't know how much, if at all, this impacts images of China's state or government," he said, pointing to how South Korea's undeniable soft power has not translated into similar levels of political might. While plush toys alone might not translate into actual power, the United States' chaotic global image under the Trump presidency could benefit perceptions of China, the University of Maryland's Yang said. "The connection many make between the seeming decline of US soft power and the potential rise in China's global image may reflect how deeply intertwined the two countries are in the minds of people whose lives are impacted by both simultaneously," she told AFP. At the very least, Labubu's charms appear to be promoting interest in China among the younger generation. "It's like a virus. Everyone just wants it," Kazakhstani mother-of-three Anelya Batalova told AFP at Pop Mart's theme park in Beijing. Qatari Maryam Hammadi, 11, posed for photos in front of a giant Labubu statue. "In our country, they love Labubu," she said. "So, when they realise that the origin of Labubu is in China, they'd like to come to see the different types of Labubu in China."
