This year’s Met Gala event had a Catholic theme, inspiring many celebrities to dress in heavenly outfits. Miley Cyrus, however, went for a different approach by donning a sexy black gown at the event called Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.
The singer, who made a notable transformation from Disney princess to pop icon at the 2013 VMAs, unintentionally revealed her backside while making an entrance at the exclusive event.
How daring of Miley Cyrus! She made quite the statement at the Met Gala in New York City by wearing an absolutely gorgeous black gown that offered a glimpse of her backside as she strutted down the red carpet.
Taking the plunge: The star dared to bare in her extreme plunging dress – both with a low neckline and a dramatic backless cut
Miley Cyrus made a bold fashion statement by wearing a low-cut, backless dress that showcased her figure. She eschewed a bra, allowing her tattoos and beautiful necklaces to be on full display, including some from Gabriel NY. While her outfit was simple and elegant, it also had a daring edge that reflected the intricate nature of Catholicism. The black dress was adorned with religious symbols, adding a touch of spirituality to her risque attire.

Tantalising: The blonde beauty showed off just the right amount of skin
The alluring blonde showed off just enough skin while accessorizing with gold crosses on her ears and neck. Perhaps the cross on her neck signifies the Christian belief that we are all flawed and in need of redemption. In contrast to other attendees who dressed up as religious figures, Miley chose a more relatable interpretation – that of a Catholic struggling with human weaknesses while still striving for purity.
Rather than emphasizing the divine, Miley portrayed a more realistic representation- the guilt often associated with being Catholic. This fashion statement reflects her ongoing efforts to distance herself from her past image as a wholesome, American sweetheart and instead create music with more profound significance.
