Miley Cyrus is once again turning heads, this time as the November 2025 cover star for Vogue France. The pop icon, known for her ever-evolving image and unapologetic authenticity, graces the pages of the iconic fashion publication with a look that’s left fans and fashion enthusiasts alike abuzz. Photographed by Mario Sorrenti at the legendary Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, the shoot captures both the nostalgia and the electric energy that define Cyrus’s unique brand of stardom, as reported by Vogue France and corroborated by Parade.
For those who might have done a double take at first glance—yes, that’s Miley under that super short, curly blonde wig. The transformation is striking. Paired with heavy dark eyeliner, a crisp white collared shirt tucked under a plush black Celine fur jacket, and off-white trousers, Cyrus appears almost unrecognizable—yet unmistakably herself. The cover look is just the start. Inside the spread, she dons a black Balenciaga off-the-shoulder ruched dress, leaning into a mirror, and later, she’s seen gazing through a glass door in a bold red Maison Valentino cutout bodycon ensemble.
The reactions have been nothing short of ecstatic. Fans flooded social media with praise after the images were released on October 20, 2025. Comments ranged from “OH MILEY🔥” to “Holy crap!! This is the new cut we needed.🔥” and “This is BEYOND 🙌.” One particularly enthusiastic fan described the look as a crossover between “Hannah Montana x Marilyn Monroe x Miley 🔥🔥🔥.” Others called her “iconic,” a “queen,” and declared, “Finally a magazine doing her beauty justice!!” The consensus? Miley’s daring new look is a hit, with one fan summing it up: “Curly hair suits you!”
But it’s not just about the visuals. In her interview with Vogue France, Cyrus opened up about the philosophy that’s guided her through the many phases of her career. “I’ve always been who I wanted to be. It’s by staying true to who you are that you can stand out from the crowd,” she reflected. This sense of authenticity is something her fans have long admired, and it’s a quality that’s clearly front and center in this latest chapter.
She went on to elaborate about her approach to life, explaining, “I have always followed two methods in my life: the one where I control everything, and the one where I let fate take its course. While magic could work in both cases, I decided to stop being stubborn, to stop what could happen and therefore, by doing so, to stop myself.” It’s a candid admission that speaks to the tension between ambition and surrender—a theme that has played out in many of Cyrus’s creative choices over the years.
According to Vogue France, the shoot’s location at Chateau Marmont was no accident. The Los Angeles landmark holds a special place in Cyrus’s heart for its “sense of nostalgia and Hollywood energy.” The publication describes her as “an old soul in a modern world, a musical and emotional chameleon”—a fitting tribute to an artist who’s never been afraid to reinvent herself.
In the interview, Cyrus also discussed the past five years, calling them “pivotal.” She told Vogue France, “Since 2021, I’ve kept evolving, but without struggle. I follow two approaches in life: one where I control everything and another where I let destiny take over.” This period, she explained, has been about finding balance and happiness, rather than the turbulence that sometimes marked her earlier transitions.
Music, of course, remains at the heart of Miley’s world. She revealed that she’s deep in creative mode, constantly writing new material—even in her car. “So yes, besties, a ‘Malibu 2.0’ could be on the horizon, lol!” she joked, hinting at the possibility of a sequel to her 2017 hit. For fans, the prospect of new music is always cause for excitement.
Performance is another area where Cyrus’s thoughtful approach shines through. She spoke about the emotional differences between performing in intimate venues and massive stadiums. “It’s very hard to recreate the emotion of those intimate venues in packed stadiums,” she explained. “Putting on a show is great, but I want to savor the moment too! In that sense, the venue is key.” Her comments reflect a desire to connect with audiences on a deeper level, rather than simply chasing spectacle.
Family, too, plays a central role in Miley’s creative life. She shared the importance of her relationship with her mother, Tish, saying, “When I write, I always think of her, and she’s the first person I play my songs for. We’re each other’s muse in a way.” It’s a touching detail that underscores the grounding force her family provides, even as her career continues to soar.
Looking back at her discography, Cyrus singled out two albums as particularly meaningful: Bangerz and Dead Petz. “They were the first real proposals that were completely mine,” she said. These records marked her first steps outside the constraints of Disney and major label expectations, representing a turning point in her journey toward creative independence. For longtime fans, her reflections on these albums offer a window into the evolution of her artistry.
The November 2025 issue of Vogue France featuring Miley Cyrus is set to hit newsstands and online platforms on October 23, 2025, according to both Parade and Vogue France. The anticipation is palpable—not just for the striking visuals, but for the candid, thoughtful interview that accompanies them.
With this latest cover, Miley Cyrus continues to prove that reinvention doesn’t mean erasing the past. Instead, she draws on her history, her family, and her own hard-won self-knowledge to create something new—something that resonates with fans and newcomers alike. As she stands at the intersection of control and fate, it’s clear that Miley is not just following trends, but setting them, one bold step at a time.
