For Miley Cyrus, tattoos are more than just decorative body art—they’re an expression of who she is, and symbols of what’s near and dear to her. So when it comes time for big night dressing, why not wear a party frock that gives her ink the spotlight it deserves?
The singer made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night, and did exactly that: her chic little black dress, with its narrow-cut bodice and sleeveless silhouette, allowed for a just-right glimpse of her many tattoo designs. (Though the exact number isn't known, Cyrus has well over 20.) Among other images, a sketched dreamcatcher just under her right arm served as a focal point of the look, as did the “Love Yer Brain" memo etched onto her forearm. Also on her documented tattoo hit list? Commemorative illustrations of her late dogs Floyd and Emu, miniaturized aliens on her fingers, and even an avocado on the back of her left arm. (Talk about taking a love of super fruits to the next level.)
The strategically revealing look she wore last night served as a switch-up from Cyrus's usual aesthetic as of late. This past month, she's stepped out in a series of fully-covered looks including a disco-day look by Louis Vuitton and a political DIY T-shirt, among others. For her latest TV appearance, she nailed the perfect merger of refined party dressing and quirky no-compromises signature style - all while making the case for a toned body that doubles as a canvas for ink art.
