Miley Cyrus turns heads in barely-there ensemble during Parisian night out
Miley Cyrus showed off her toned abs when she stepped out in Paris wearing a sheer dress. The 32-year-old former Disney star was photographed outside her hotel as she left for a night out on the town in a light blue sheer Jean Paul Gaultier gown that featured a coned bra covered in peacock feathers. She accessorized the look with black underwear that was visible through the fabric, black leather opera gloves and knee-high brown sandals with cutouts. She styled her hair in big messy curls and opted for minimal makeup. The actress shared photos of the look on her Instagram, captioning the post, "Paris is the place for me… I love you all." "This look is one of my favorites you've ever done," one fan wrote in the comment section with a heart-eyed emoji. Another added, "What a queeennnn," while a third chimed in with "You are THAT LEGEND." Fans of the actress also couldn't hold back their excitement at having seen Cyrus perform on stage with Beyoncé as part of her "Cowboy Carter" tour in Paris. The two sang the song "II Most Wanted," on which Cyrus collaborated with Beyoncé. "Thank You for singing Most wanted with Beyoncé Today," one fan wrote in the comments section, while another added, "Omg you did it II most wanted." The actress has been spotted in a number of showstopping outfits during her time in Paris, including a knit leopard print Valentino dress with a fringe collar and a vintage black Patrick Kelly dress with rhinestones in the shape of the Eiffel Tower. Cyrus is in Paris to promote her latest visual album, "Something Beautiful," and its accompanying film, which premiered earlier this month at the Tribeca Film Festival. As part of the promotional tour, she performed at Spotify's Billions Club Live, hosted at Maxim's de Paris, where she sang two of her biggest hits, "The Climb" and "We Can't Stop." She took the stage in a vintage 1992 sequined Mugler minidress, which mixed light and dark shades of blue. When discussing her latest album on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in May, Cyrus opened up about how filming one of the music videos for her visual album ended with her in the ICU after her "leg began to disintegrate" after filming. "And then the doctor goes, 'Do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?'' she said on the show. "To have a surgeon look at you and say, 'Yuck.' … They open up cadavers. They see inside the guts of humans, and they're looking at me, telling me I'm disgusting. And they do brain operations."

Benson Boone, still rocking that skintight jumpsuit, drops new ‘Mr. Electric Blue' music video
After making quite the splash at the Grammys where he backflipped in a body-hugging, baby blue sequined jumpsuit, Benson Boone is back with new music and a very tongue-in-cheek music video. The singer and former 'American Idol' contestant released his second studio album 'American Heart' on Friday, paired with the record's fourth single 'Mr. Electric Blue,' with an accompanying music video that sees him in various getups that are more than a little self-deprecating. The clip opens with Boone, wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the phrase 'One Hit Wonder,' being called into the office of a smarmy agent – identified by a deskplate as 'Benson Boone Agent' and played by Jack LaFrantz, Boone's sometime songwriting partner. The agent breaks the news to the 22-year-old crooner that 'we put all our money in moonbeam ice cream and the backflip, and it's done absolutely horrible,' a reference to one of Boone's earlier singles on the record, 'Mystical Magical.' 'We need something new. We need a new gimmick!' the agent exclaims. 'Maybe, good songwriting?' 'You know I can't do that,' Boone replies. He is then informed by the agent that he 'owes' the label $10 million and spends the rest of the music video doing odd jobs to raise funds. The song itself is fun and pleasantly retro-feeling, with Boone donning shirts that say things like 'Inauthentic' as he walks dogs or mows a giant lawn. At one point, he takes to helping advertise 'Discount Jumpsuits,' holding a sign that on one side says '100% Artificial.' He does this while wearing said baby blue jumpsuit that famously turned heads at the Grammys earlier this year. In another scenario, a group of kids trash his music to his face while he serves moonbeam ice cream from a truck. Although upbeat, the 'Mr. Electric Blue' music video confronts criticisms seemingly plucked from the bowels of social media comments, like with the shot of a bumper sticker that proclaims, 'mustaches are lame.' It all builds to a crescendo when Boone, who has taken a job as a pool boy, is shut down when he sees a sign forbidding backflips. He's clearly in on the joke, and it's flipping fun.
