Miley Cyrus Channels ‘The Matrix’ In A Cutout Leather Gown While Making A Rare Red Carpet Appearance With Her Boyfriend
February 23, 2025 by Maria Pierides
Miley Cyrus attended the star-studded SNL50: The Anniversary Special on Sunday, February 16th, where she performed a rendition of Sinéad O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” with Brittany Howard.
A few days earlier, on Valentine’s Day to be exact, she attended the SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York, where she performed her Grammy-winning song “Flowers,” as well as Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” with Brittany Howard. And it was the Matrix-inspired leather dress she wore on the red carpet that is still living rent-free in our minds!
Miley Cyrus Turns Heads In A Leather Roberto Cavalli Dress On The 'SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert' Red Carpet
The three-time Grammy winner walked the red carpet in a fierce black cutout dress, which hailed from the Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2025 collection. The dress featured an edgy leather bodice, as well as ruffled skirt with tulle detailing. It also had an exceptionally high slit, which Miley pulled off spectacularly, as expected.
She finished the look off with some black Paris Texas 'Liz' satin sandals, and chose to forgo any other accessories or jewelry to let the dress command all of the attention. Her hair was worn in a center-parted down do – a big change from her 'jellyfish' hairstyle from this year's Grammys – and her makeup consisted of a glamorous soft smoky eye and light peach lips.
The "Angels Like You" singer also turned heads on the red carpet because she was walking it with her boyfriend Maxx Morando, who seldom appear on red carpets together since being linked in December 2021.
Fan Comments
The Hannah Montana alum's fans were predictably obsessed with her outfit on social media.
"Love the dress, absolutely gorgeous," gushed one fan on a People Instagram post, followed by the heart eyes and red heart emojis. "I love the dress," echoed a second fan, as a third said: "Wow Miley you are finally growing up very beautiful."
"Wow gorgeous," complimented a fourth fan, followed by two red rose emojis, as a fifth said: "Miley's glowing." "Beautiful," raved a sixth fan, as another said, "Miley looking [fire emoji.]"
