Miley Cyrus proved once again that she’s the reigning queen of rock ‘n’ roll reinvention at Chanel’s annual Through Her Lens luncheon in New York City. Celebrating the Tribeca Film Festival’s program supporting women filmmakers, the singer arrived in full vintage ‘80s-inspired splendor—a look that blended downtown edge with Parisian sophistication.
A Rockstar Moment for Chanel
Fresh off the release of her latest album, Something Beautiful, Cyrus joined a powerhouse guest list including Riley Keough, Parker Posey, Lola Tung, and Olivia Munn—but it was her retro-rock aesthetic that stole the spotlight.
Dressed in a structured black vest with four pockets, she paired it with a two-tiered pleated leather skirt, sheer nylons, and classic Mary Jane heels—a nod to both ‘80s punk and old-school Hollywood. Oversized black sunglasses and her signature tousled, side-parted curls (styled by longtime collaborator Bob Recine) completed the vibe, evoking the kind of effortless cool that wouldn’t feel out of place on a young Elvis or an ‘80s Sunset Strip rocker.
The Beauty Breakdown: Less Is More (But Still Bold)
While Cyrus is no stranger to over-the-top glam, her makeup for the event—courtesy of James Kaliardos—was a masterclass in subtlety with a rebellious twist.
✔ Soft bronze eyeshadow for a smoldering gaze
✔ Fluttery lashes and crisp white liner to amplify her eyes
✔ Glossy pink lips for a touch of retro sweetness
The result? A look that felt refined yet rebellious—proof that restraint can be just as daring as full-on glitter and sequins.
Why This Look Works
Cyrus has spent years playing with persona, from Disney sweetheart to hip-hop rebel to rock goddess. But this latest iteration—polished, vintage, yet undeniably Miley—feels like the perfect evolution. It’s grown-up glamour without losing the edge, a reminder that true style isn’t about trends—it’s about attitude.
And with Something Beautiful still fresh in fans’ ears, the timing couldn’t be better.
Final thought? Whether she’s onstage or at a chic luncheon, Miley Cyrus knows how to make an entrance—and leave everyone talking.
