If Miley Cyrus' intention with her new V magazine cover was to provoke, then girl succeeded!
The unapologetic singer covers the fall issue of the fashion mag wearing what is probably the most impractical swimsuit in the world: a blue fuzzy Fendi one-piece that looks like a cast-off from "The Muppets."
Posing provocatively for the camera, the 21-year-old sits on top of a bunch of stuffed animals as she flaunts her bod in the cut-out bathing suit. (No wonder why the issue's theme is "Rebels.")
Shot by Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld (who designed the suit) and styled my famed stylist Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele, the "Wrecking Ball" songstress has never looked better and the inside photo spread, in which she poses nude on top of more furry animals, proves that she's a true style star.
V explained the concept behind the Rebels issue thusly:
V91 focuses on the art of rebellion. But before you think us punks or misfits, it should be noted that we’re not necessarily talking about that type of rebellion associated with being deliberately defiant or rowdy, but rather with the idea of taking ownership of one’s ideas and craft and not compromising even when difficult situations arise. Staying true to one’s self and one’s art, no matter what, takes courage and discipline, which is vital to any artist’s survival.
Well, V certainly picked the right cover star!
Miley's come a long way:
