Continuing the dress look favored by red-carpet stars last year, Miley Cyrus made a major impression firstly on the red carpet and late with her unapologetic speech in the 2024 Grammys.
The Flowers and Used to Be Young singer, nominated for six 2024 Grammy Awards, arrived for the show at downtown Los Angeles’ Crypto.com arena wearing a see-through, net-like dress made of 14,000 gold safety pins. Arranged geometrically, the pins created a cone bra effect of two circles up top and a thong-like shape below. The look is a custom creation by designer John Galliano for Maison Margiela, the once-cancelled, now-resurgent fashion genius who is the subject of an upcoming documentary, High & Low, debuting in March. His recent Maison Margiela couture show has been a subject of fascination ever since it was presented on Jan. 25, from its decadent Parisian looks to the porcelain-doll makeup created by Pat McGrath.
For the 2024 Grammys red carpet, Cyrus didn’t opt for glassy porcelain-doll-style makeup. Instead, her big beauty moment came courtesy of a dramatic updo of her brunette locks that called to mind classic ’70s hair favored by country stars like her godmother, Dolly Parton.
Bottom line:
W magazine noted that Cyrus’ Maison Margiela’s safety-pin dress calls to mind a look that Galliano previously designed way back in 1997 for his eponymous collection. The music star paired her nearly naked dress with Maison Margiela gold velvet Tabi heels and jewelry by Tiffany & Co. Be sure to watch her at the Grammy Awards:
