Miley Cyrus returns to the style that made her famous

Miley Cyrus is back to her old self: the turn nobody saw coming

The singer has moved past her rebellious phase and now shows a more feminine, mature image. A marketing strategy or genuine evolution? Her career numbers suggest the change may be paying off.

From Hannah Montana to wild child: the 2013-2016 slump

Between 2013 and 2016, Miley Cyrus seemed determined to blow up her child-star legacy. She shaved her head, used drugs openly and adopted a provocative style. Many fans described that period as self-destructive. However, her reunion with Liam Hemsworth (brother-in-law of singer Pataki) marked a turning point.

The return to femininity and artistic maturity

Today, Cyrus has brought back her long hair and a more classic style. Viewers on TikTok praise her figure and face, though some point out she was never especially pretty. Her vocal talent, on the other hand, has never been in question: she is no mere decorative figure like other pop stars (no offence meant). The singer herself has explained in interviews that the provocative phase was partly driven by her marketing team to break away from Hannah Montana.

And the dark side?

Some mention that she still behaves eccentrically —"she's completely nuts," people say on social media— but her fans play it down: for a no-strings relationship, it doesn't matter. The question is whether this new phase is sustainable or the excesses will return.

In any case, the market seems to reward the mature Cyrus. Her latest songs have performed better on streaming platforms than those of the Bangerz era. If the trend continues, the third great act of a career that has already had two lives may be taking shape.
