After a week drenched in cinematic glamour and downtown sparkle, Miley Cyrus exited New York City with the kind of unfussy elegance only she can pull off—proof that even a casual airport moment can be its own runway.
Fresh off the heels of her visual album premiere and a buzzed-about panel at the Tribeca Film Festival, Cyrus—who recently graced the cover of Harper’s Bazaar—was photographed slipping out of Manhattan with a look that whispered more than it shouted.
Her ensemble? A refined lesson in minimalism, grounded by comfort. The singer wore a ribbed, cropped black cardigan fastened with translucent buttons—quiet, tactile luxury at its finest—paired with vintage-feel, wide-leg denim in a soft, sun-washed blue. The palette was restrained, the silhouette relaxed, yet the energy was unmistakably Miley: effortless, with a wink.
The styling was classic Cyrus: black leather Mary Jane flats with a delicate gold buckle, an oversized black tote slung over one arm, and her signature stacked gold chains glinting in the city light. Completing the look were elongated, sculptural black sunglasses—Chanel, naturally—edged in glass pearls and glossy acetate, an accessory that offered just the right level of drama for a low-key exit.
She wore her hair loose in artfully undone waves, hinting at a wet-look finish that felt less red carpet and more rockstar in repose. The texture evoked beach air, night rain, or perhaps just the kind of easy cool that can’t be bottled.
While Cyrus herself kept it simple, her entourage handled the indulgences: seen behind her were assistants wheeling a Louis Vuitton suitcase and a classic Chanel weekender—likely filled with the tour-worthy fashion she’d worn throughout her whirlwind New York stay.
Following her final evening at the iconic Bemelmans Bar—where she hosted an intimate gathering of close friends and collaborators—Cyrus shared a heartfelt message with fans. “Sending you all of my love, to show how much I appreciate sharing the experience of releasing my visual album @tribeca together xo,” she wrote. “Tonight truly was Something Beautiful. Thank you.”
Something beautiful, indeed. From bombshell gowns to borrowed-from-the-boys cardigans, Miley Cyrus continues to show us that style, like music, is at its best when it’s lived in—and a little bit undone.
