Miley Cyrus Stuns in Mugler for ‘Something Beautiful’ Album Reveal

Miley Cyrus just dropped a bombshell that’s got both the fashion and music worlds buzzing. The pop chameleon’s ninth studio album “Something Beautiful” isn’t just another record – it’s shaping up to be a bold artistic statement that might just redefine how we experience music in 2025.

Fresh off her Grammy sweep (and doesn’t that still feel surreal?), Cyrus took to Instagram earlier this week with a jaw-dropping album cover that’s pure visual poetry. There she stands, wrapped in a piece of fashion history – a 1997 Thierry Mugler creation that somehow looks both vintage and startlingly modern. Glen Luchford, the mastermind behind the lens, has managed to capture something almost ethereal in the shot. It’s Miley, but not as we’ve ever seen her before.

The timing couldn’t be better. With streaming numbers through the roof and vinyl sales hitting another unexpected peak in early 2025, Cyrus seems to have her finger perfectly on the pulse of what’s next. “It’s a concept album that’s an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music,” she revealed in her November Harper’s Bazaar cover story. Pretty heavy stuff from someone who once swung naked on a wrecking ball, right?

But here’s where it gets really interesting – Cyrus is drawing inspiration from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall,” of all things. Though in typical Miley fashion, she’s putting her own glamorous spin on it. “My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture,” she explains. Leave it to Miley to reimagine a rock classic through a high-fashion lens.

The 13-track collection, dropping May 30th, feels like a natural evolution from “Endless Summer Vacation” – though maybe evolution isn’t quite the right word. Revolution might be more fitting. Working alongside producer Shawn Everett, Cyrus has apparently created something that’s equal parts sonic journey and visual feast.

What’s particularly striking about this project is how Cyrus approaches the intersection of beauty and pain. “The songs, whether they’re about destruction or heartbreak or death, they’re presented in a way that is beautiful,” she muses. “Because the nastiest times of our life do have a point of beauty. They are the shadow, they are the charcoal, they are the shading.” There’s something almost poetic about that perspective – and coming from an artist who’s lived so much of her life in the public eye, it carries real weight.

The album rollout is hitting all the right notes too. Traditional formats? Check. Digital innovations? You bet. It’s like Cyrus knows exactly how to bridge the gap between old-school music lovers and the TikTok generation.

“Something Beautiful” might just be the project that cements Cyrus’s place in the pantheon of artists who successfully reinvented themselves. It’s more than just a collection of songs – it’s shaping up to be a complete artistic vision, one that marries sound and sight in ways we haven’t quite seen before. And in a music landscape that sometimes feels oversaturated with the same old formulas, that’s something worth paying attention to.
