ANDlvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyoncé and now also Miley Cyrus. The singer and actress is the first artist born in the 90s to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. «My father said that a skyscraper starts with a jackhammer – as well as a star on the Walk of Fame – and it’s not about strength, but about repetition” the artist said during the ceremony. For Cyrus, the star represents a symbol of continuity built over timestep by step, which for the artist does not belong to immediate success but to duration over time.
«A star is a form of devotion»
In her acceptance speech, Miley Cyrus also mentioned his song Walk of Fame, which ends with the phrase “you will live forever”. «This star somehow represents immortality, and while I love that line, the fact that I won’t live forever is what creates the urgency to make music». The artist then posed happily with her star, surrounded by her dearest loved ones: her boyfriend Maxx Morandothe mother Tish Cyrusthe sister Brandi and how special guests Donatella Versace And Anya Taylor-Joy. «What I find special about this star is that it is a accumulation of devotion. A star is not something you win like a seasonal game. It’s not something you chase or collect. It’s not something you make the next record and then carry around like a trophy. My name is etched into the gold and pink terrazzo, and it’s loud and fun and fabulous».
Versace and the rock soul of the star
For the ceremony, Miley Cyrus chose a dress archive signed Versace: an Atelier model from the autumn 2015 collection already worn by Heidi Klum. The famous “naked dress” plays with transparencies and spiderweb-effect mesh workcreating a sophisticated balance between sensuality and couture. The dress, with intertwined black lines and metallic details, allows a glimpse of the skin without sacrificing elegance. Miley completed it with jewel heels and an intense beauty look, with shaded eyes and wavy blonde hair, in perfect glam rock style.
