Yesterday, Miley Cyrus was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In an emotional speech, she referenced her own song “Walk of Fame,” which ends with the lyric “you’ll live forever.”
“This star somehow represents immortality, and although I love the lyric, the fact that I won’t is what creates the urgency that sets my heart on fire,” she said.
“What feels so special to me about this star is that it’s an accumulation of devotion. A star isn’t something that you win like a seasonal game. It’s not something that you can chase or collect. It’s not something you make the next record for,” she said.
“My name is laid in gold and pink terrazzo, and it’s fierce, and it’s fun, and it’s fabulous,” Cyrus continued. “And I’m in Versace hand-picked from the atelier archives by Donatella herself, which makes it even more fun, and even more fierce and even more fabulous.”
Cyrus wore an Atelier Versace gown from the fall 2015 collection—a sexy deep cut, previously seen on supermodel Heidi Klum that same year. But this is a gown made for a true rock star: the dress—very much a naked dress— was made up of sinewy black webbed material and embroidery, with a criss-crossing neckline. She paired it with studded stilettos. Cyrus’s makeup followed her usually smoked out, siren style, with a hazy eye and nude lip. She wore brow-skimming bangs and her blonde hair tousled.

Cyrus posed giddily with her star, and even brought her fiancé Max Morando out for a few pics.
Miley’s mother Tish Cyrus, sister Brandi, Donatella Versace, and Anya Taylor-Joy were also among those honoring the star. Donatella donned a structured, gold embellished white mini-dress with towering platform boots, while Taylor-Joy opted for showgirl-y, sequinned Bob Mackie and a perspex shoe.
