She found the best of both worlds! Miley Cyrus opened up about learning how to tap into her own fashion identity while still portraying her Disney Channel alter ego, Hannah Montana.
“There was a time when I didn’t have as much control because I was playing a character,” Cyrus, 30, told British Vogue on the Saturday, May 20, episode of Life in Looks, which featured the “Flowers” singer reminiscing about 17 of her most famous outfits. “It wasn’t always about my own feeling but it was about what was best for the character. And as I started to understand the magic of Hannah is actually the magic of me, I started infusing my own style into her style.”
Cyrus starred as the titular character upon the show’s 2006 premiere on Disney Channel. The sitcom — which lasted for 4 seasons and spawned over 100 concerts, 5 soundtracks and a feature film — followed Miley Stewart (Cyrus) as she lives a double life and transforms herself into famous pop singer Hannah Montana.
While speaking with British Vogue, the Last Song star pointed to a custom-made Jeremy Scott dress from season one of the series — which featured patterns of different road signs and a large collar — as the first time “I decided that I was going to have control over what I wear.”
While the “Party in the USA” songstress revealed that the “fabulous” gown came from a brutal “four-hour fitting” on the Hannah Montana set, she gushed over Scott, 47, and his “loyalty” at a time when “no designers understood dressing a teen pop star from a Disney TV show.”
“But he did, and I think that’s part of her genius,” she added.
