Miley Cyrus Transformed: Unveiling Her Bold New Look and the Iconic Gift from Beyoncé

This top international performer looked like she had chopped her hair off, bleached it blonde and worn it super curly. The new style made her unrecognizable even though she has been in the business for 20 years

MILEY CYRUS UNRECOGNIZABLE: VOGUE FRANCE COVER GIRL REVEALS HER NEW LOOK AND GETS REAL ABOUT HER LIFE

The queen of pop, Miley Cyrus, is back and better than ever! The 20-year music industry veteran stunned fans with a brand new look in the November issue of Vogue France. Photographer Mario Sorrenti captured her transformation in all its glory, and let's just say it's a game-changer.

For those who thought they knew Miley, think again! Her short, bleached-blonde hair, styled into loose curls, is almost unrecognizable. The new 'do is so drastic that fans are still reeling from the shock. "I've lost my mind," wrote one fan on social media. "That ain't the Miley I know!" Another added, "She looks like she's been transported to a 1960s Hollywood movie set!"

The chart-topping hitmaker showed off the new locks for the November Vogue France , which was photographed by the legendary Mario Sorrenti

But don't worry, folks; it's just a wig (styled by Shay Ashual, of course) and some heavy dark eyeliner with a glossy lip. The real Miley is still the same old sparkly self we've come to love.

The photoshoot, which took place at the iconic Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, was nothing short of epic. Miley posed in high-end couture from Balenciaga and Maison Valentino, looking every inch the supermodel. And that's exactly what she is – a supermodel with a voice, talent, and more attitude than most people can handle.

When asked about her new look, Miley (who was married to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth) revealed that it's all about being true to oneself. "I've always been who I wanted to be," she said in the interview. "It's by staying true to who you are that you can stand out from the crowd." She also credited her mother, Tish Cyrus, as a constant source of inspiration for her music.

The lovely lady with the wild locks is Miley Cyrus. But the hair was just a Parisian trick: she was wearing a wig styled by Shay Ashual. Still fans lost it over her 'Annie style gone Moulin Rouge' as another said, 'That ain't the Miley I know'

"I have always followed two methods in my life: the one where I control everything, and the one where I let fate take its course," Miley explained. "While magic could work in both cases, I decided to stop being stubborn, to stop what could happen and therefore, by doing so, to stop myself." Talk about a deep conversation starter!

But that's not all – Miley also opened up about her influences and inspirations. When asked who she thinks of as true rock gods, she cited the likes of Stevie Nicks (for her theatricality and style), Joan Jett (for her authenticity and stage presence), and David Bowie (for his fearless experimentation with fashion).

And then there's Beyoncé – Miley's queen, in every sense. "Beyoncé is definitely the best, period," she said, gushing about their past collaborations. "She gave me a bracelet that I never take off... And trust me, I know how to use it when I need to." Who needs a crown when you have Beyhive approval?

It's by staying true to who you are that you can stand out from the crowd,' the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus told the publication

As for her favorite memories with Beyoncé, Miley recalled a duet they performed together at the Stade de France in June 2019 (yes, that's right – it was a few years ago, but we're just now getting the scoop). "She gave me a bracelet after that show," she said with a smile. "And trust me, I know how to use it when I need to."

Beyoncé has indeed been kind to Miley in the past – we've got the receipts! Back in 2019, Beyoncé sent Miley flowers as a gesture of appreciation for their work together.
