Grammy-award winning musician Miley Cyrus joins “The Good Buy” to break down what makes up a pop star's personal style. From sliding into the DMs of secret archival fashion dealers to her obsession with The Row, Miley reveals how her style is about more than just the brands she loves—it's about movement and emotion.

00:00Honestly, we don't tell Bob what I'm going to wear. Bob tells me.
00:02Bob doesn't just tell me where I'm going to wear it. He tells me how they're going to shoot it.
00:06He goes, this one looks good from the back.
00:08So if you could come in, I'm like, what, backwards?
00:10Hello, everyone, and welcome to The Good Buy, a new podcast from Harper's Bazaar,
00:15where we invite celebrities, designers, models, and tastemakers to talk shop.
00:20What they buy, where they got it, and why it matters.
00:22Hi, I'm Lynette Nylander, Executive Digital Director at Harper's Bazaar.
00:30I'm Lea Chernikoff, Executive Editor at Harper's Bazaar, and this is The Good Buy.
00:34I want to ask you this, Lea.
00:36Tell me.
00:36What is your good buy of the week?
00:40Do you have one?
00:41I love the way I have to think because that's how much of a shopper I am, shamelessly.
00:46I know, and I have to think because I don't shop as much.
00:50Let me think, actually.
00:52Oh, I found an incredible Cream Celine blouse on the real world.
00:59Phoebe Philo Celine, gorgeous, timeless, and it was $225, and I mean, you can't beat that.
01:09So I'm really trying to bank on having a great white shirt, a great pair of corduroys,
01:15a great jean, a great bag, and not having so much.
01:19So I think that shirt should fit into that.
01:22Lovely.
01:22Okay, I figured mine out.
01:24Are you ready?
01:25Go for it.
01:25You know when a trend like it starts and you're like, oh, that couldn't be for me.
01:29And then it's just like, it's just like kind of gets bigger and bigger.
01:32And then you're like, okay, I'm in and I want to figure it out.
01:35So that's sheer for me.
01:36So I got this sheer kind of organza looking button down from the Fringy shop.
01:41I like put into Google like shop sheer blouses just to see.
01:46And that's sort of my entry into figuring out sheer and how to wear it,
01:50just like with jeans, maybe a little jacket over.
01:53Well, today the goodbyes in a special location.
01:55On set for Miley Cyrus's Harper's Bazaar cover shoot.
01:59In our current landscape, we are starved for icons.
02:02So I'm really excited that today we have one so mega
02:06that we can't even imagine pop culture without them.
02:08Oh, you said it.
02:09I was thinking it.
02:10She spoke.
02:12I just love that intro.
02:13I think I wrote it myself.
02:15Starved for icons.
02:16And I really will get into that.
02:18We really are starved for icons.
02:19Go.
02:19We have more.
02:20We have more.
02:20One who's churned out more hits than we can count.
02:23One that has an eye for fashion and has done since she was 13.
02:26One that looks incredible in a Gucci gown,
02:28a Bob Mackie mini and some distressed denim.
02:32On this week's episode, we have a guest who is the personification of glamour, of pop star.
02:37You grew up with her on TV.
02:38She is a Grammy winning musician,
02:40and we can't wait to delve deep into her style and her story.
02:44Welcome to the Goodbye, Miley Cyrus.
02:46Cheer for Miley Cyrus.
02:49I'm so happy to be here.
02:50Did you just fly in?
02:51You just flew into New York City?
02:53I did.
02:53I will.
02:54I did a day before because I wanted to create a new look for this cover.
03:00Ooh.
03:00Tell us more.
03:01What's the new vision?
03:02Yeah.
03:02Can we know?
03:02You're looking at it.
03:04Tell us.
03:04I went short on the size of my hair because I never want to have to choose.
03:08I want to have it all and to be able to do both at all times.
03:11And so I have my hair very long, almost down my back.
03:16Lots of length in the back and then short on the sides
03:19because I want to always, no matter what angle I'm being seen from,
03:23I want it to feel one of one, super unique.
03:26And I don't ever want to look the same day to day.
03:28I like waking up and being surprised at what I look like.
03:31So I always like to have something that moves and that evolves and that surprises me.
03:36And what you're wearing is something that is one of one
03:40or it looks one of one.
03:41Tell us a little bit more about what you're wearing today.
03:43It's Ferragamo and I thought that it really reflected
03:47where I'm at right now creatively and musically,
03:51which is something that I feel that can be kind of loved and understood.
03:56I mean, who doesn't love a big oversized fur coat?
04:00By the way, just explaining everything for our listeners at home,
04:03Ferragamo is now being held by Maximilian Davis,
04:06actually an old friend of mine, and he's killing it over there.
04:09Really killing it.
04:10Amazing, beautiful, sexy Italian style.
04:14And should we describe the look a little bit?
04:17So we've got these like beautiful white pants.
04:21I feel like I'm on QVC.
04:23That's my dream.
04:24Do it. I'll sell it.
04:25Here she is.
04:26Okay, so today on QVC, we have Miley Cyrus
04:31modeling a beautiful black satin strapless pump.
04:35I would call it a mule.
04:36A bit of a mule.
04:37A mule with a white.
04:39I can't actually see what's happening.
04:41Describe these because I don't even know what it's called.
04:43A white double hemmed contrast stitch cotton canvas pant,
04:48complete with a silk white shirt.
04:52I'm just going to add charmeuse.
04:53I don't even know if it's charmeuse, but it's just fun to say.
04:56Max right in with what it actually is made of.
04:59And a big furry jacket.
05:02And the red lip.
05:03And the red lip.
05:04And the jewels.
05:05Available for you today for the grand old price of...
05:09We don't know.
05:09We don't know.
05:10Okay.
05:10Well, let's start because you were talking about
05:12sort of how you like to sort of surprise yourself
05:14when you wake up and create your looks.
05:16How would you describe your personal style?
05:19My personal style is in the moment,
05:23I am committed while also being completely detached.
05:28That's who I am.
05:29That's like being in a relationship with me.
05:31That's being a friend of mine.
05:32That's being related to me.
05:34At all times, I am fully convinced until I'm not.
05:39And then I am done with it.
05:41I have moved on.
05:42There isn't too much, you know, emotional attachment to each piece.
05:48I mean, my seven storage units would disagree
05:52because I do hold on to some things,
05:55you know, that have emotional attachment.
05:56But really, I don't feel when I get ready
05:59that there are yes or there are nos
06:01or there is an equation of,
06:03well, does that look consistent?
06:05Consistency has never really been too important to me
06:07because I think being inconsistent
06:09and being ever-changing is consistency in itself.
06:12And so every day is just different.
06:13Again, I feel very kind of committed to a look,
06:18but also one foot is already out the door
06:20and onto the next one.
06:21I want to ask you,
06:22who are your greatest style inspirations?
06:23Because you've been around everyone since,
06:27you know, you were a child.
06:28You've seen everything.
06:29You have amazing references.
06:30Tell me who inspires you.
06:32I love, you know,
06:34I love an artist that does the most and does the least.
06:39And you don't really know the difference
06:41because it all feels like skin.
06:42It all feels like them.
06:43So someone like my godmother, Dolly Parton,
06:46she definitely does the most,
06:47but it feels like it's just a part of her.
06:50It never feels like a costume or an armor
06:54keeping you at a distance from her.
06:55It actually like brings you in.
06:57And I feel that way about Grace Jones or Diana Ross.
07:00I feel like they're so a part of their identity.
07:02They're a part of their show.
07:04They're a part of who they are,
07:05but they don't distract you from their heart,
07:08from their words, from their artistry.
07:09Because sometimes when you go too big with style,
07:12if you don't have a personality to match that size,
07:15then you can get kind of worn by the clothes.
07:17And I love that for women that wear clothes,
07:20they don't get worn by clothes,
07:21but it could be someone even minimal like Jane Birkin.
07:23So from Dolly Parton to Grace Jones to Jane Birkin,
07:26I love them all.
07:26I just love women that know how to carry clothing
07:29and they don't let clothes wear them.
07:30And I think it's also about women who offset off concert,
07:37off tour and in their everyday lives carry it
07:40with the same kind of like,
07:42I don't even know what that is.
07:43I always say I want to be the girl that you would meet.
07:46I want to be the same person at the grocery store,
07:48at the airport as I do in my performances.
07:50And that can look really different
07:52because for as much attention as I have on myself in my life,
07:55I also ask for a lot less of attention in my day-to-day.
07:59I have a very kind of minimal,
08:02very essential take on life in my personal time.
08:06So in my relationships, in my day-to-day,
08:09spending time in the Canyon,
08:11I am like, you know,
08:12back and forth going to these little shops in the Valley
08:14or in Topanga Canyon, you know, I'm in LA.
08:17So spending a lot of time in the beach and that culture.
08:20But then also I have access to just so many different,
08:23you know, amazing designers.
08:25And so when I am performing,
08:26I like to let those designers be a part of the performance too.
08:31So I don't have to do so much of the work.
08:32I let Bob Mackie do the work or Gucci do the work.
08:34So I stand there and just do my job,
08:36which is just to, you know,
08:38be in the lyrics and to be in the song
08:39and to have people have a feeling from the music.
08:42But for them, they get to kind of perform through the look.
08:44But in my day-to-day life,
08:46I don't ask for that kind of attention.
08:48So I'm very minimal in my day-to-day.
08:50So my uniform is jeans and a white t-shirt,
08:52just something that's very California
08:54and kind of easy to blend in.
08:56How does your costume or wardrobe inform your performance?
08:59How do you like pick your references
09:01and how does it then translate into the look?
09:03The music is the heart and the soul of everything.
09:05So it's all about the music
09:08and being able to enhance the emotion behind the song.
09:13I mean, sometimes by accident, it may go outfit first.
09:18Sometimes I may wear something that,
09:20you know, it just kind of immediately creates,
09:23you know, attention or a conversation,
09:25which is my favorite.
09:27I love when someone isn't sure
09:28how they feel about something for a second
09:30because that's when you actually get to have conversations
09:32and then go a little deeper than fashion.
09:33But again, all the wardrobe is always inspired
09:36by the music first.
09:37It's not trying to get a song to fit into a look.
09:39So I'm going to ask about that epic Grammy performance.
09:43Specifically, we mentioned before,
09:44but that Bob Mackie, the hair.
09:46Okay, that's one of the ones where the dress came first.
09:48Okay, okay.
09:50No, the dress didn't actually come first.
09:51Well, of course the song came first.
09:52And, you know, flowers in the video,
09:55the gold Saint Laurent dress that I'm wearing,
09:57it's really kind of the concept of the video.
10:00All of us, actually, all my boys you met today,
10:02we all separately screenshotted
10:04the gold YSL dress separately.
10:07And we were like, yes, we were like,
10:08I know what I have to wear for the video.
10:10It's mind meld.
10:11All of us.
10:11Wow, you're synced up.
10:13And so we all showed each other and we all had it saved.
10:15So we knew.
10:15And so the dress is such an important part of that song.
10:19It's, it is such a part of the armor.
10:21And I wanted something equally as iconic
10:25and as memorable as that gold dress.
10:27And what I love is the Grammys can take itself very seriously.
10:32And I've never wanted to play that game.
10:34And so I wanted to have a lot of fun.
10:36And Bob Mackie, that's what it's all about.
10:38You really just feel so much joy
10:42when you have those strings of beaded fringe
10:46going down your leg.
10:47And every time you shake and move,
10:48you're in full command and they're dancing with you.
10:51And it's just, it made it so,
10:53it said everything that I wanted to say
10:55and didn't have time to say on stage.
10:57Yeah. Clothes can talk for you.
10:58That's like such an important part of,
11:01you know, making these choices.
11:03Where do you find it though?
11:04That's what we'd love to get into these little details.
11:06Well, a little bit of everywhere.
11:08Okay.
11:09For Bob Mackie, we drive out to Palm Springs.
11:12We go see Bob.
11:13And honestly, we don't tell Bob what I'm going to wear.
11:15Bob tells me.
11:16Bob doesn't just tell me where I'm going to wear it.
11:18He tells me how they're going to shoot it.
11:19He goes, this one looks good from the back.
11:21So if you could come in, I'm like, what, backwards?
11:23And you were like, yes.
11:24I'm like, it says there.
11:26You're like, well, maybe.
11:27Yeah. So he wants to get it from the back.
11:28He knows all the different angles that the,
11:30I mean, he created the dress from all angles.
11:31So he will tell you what angle
11:33the dress wants to be shot from.
11:35So, you know, in his world, the dress comes first.
11:36But really, even that is, I'm just kind of kidding.
11:40I mean, really for Bob,
11:41the thing that you can see through him
11:42is that the artist comes first.
11:44The woman in the gown comes first.
11:47And that to me is just a love letter.
11:49And so wearing that, it gives you a sense of safety.
11:51But, you know, through when I'm wearing designers,
11:53I find them directly from the designers.
11:55And usually I talk to the designers themselves
11:57instead of going through, you know, playing telephone.
12:00It's like, I want to talk to the creative behind it.
12:02And then I just got all these little secret stores
12:04I'll be going to sometimes.
12:06Which we're going to pry them out.
12:07We'll see.
12:09But speaking of designers,
12:11you have amazing relationships
12:12with some of the world's best designers.
12:14Obviously, you have Sabato at Gucci.
12:16You've been wearing a lot of Margiela.
12:18You've been wearing a lot of Dolce & Gabbana
12:21that you're the face of.
12:23Yeah.
12:23You have Marc Jacobs.
12:24I know you and Marc Jacobs are tight.
12:26Tell me about how those relationships are formed.
12:28Because you can see when you've met a designer
12:31and you click and then when that comes in.
12:33Oh, that's what's happening right now.
12:34Me and John Galliano, everything that he sends or creates,
12:38it is just exactly what I'm looking for.
12:40Same thing with Bob Mackie.
12:42And what I've loved about Dolce & Gabbana
12:44is that it's just classic.
12:46It's just always a yes.
12:48When especially it's a time
12:50where we're getting dressed quickly,
12:53you just know that you're going to feel
12:55and look super sexy and classic.
12:57And you're just going to, again,
12:58not be doing too much, but not be doing too little.
13:00It's just always going to be right.
13:01And what I love about Gucci
13:04and what the new Gucci is representing with Sabato
13:06is that it is something a little bit cleaner and more minimal.
13:09And I feel that sometimes because I have so much to say
13:13and I have so much of my own personality
13:15that when clothes do too much of the talking,
13:17it doesn't leave room for me to kind of speak my piece.
13:20And so I think the new Gucci
13:21and what it's giving me is just clean.
13:23It's very minimal.
13:24And so I'm able to express myself
13:26without kind of getting drowned
13:28in someone else's creation, if that makes sense.
13:30Right, no competition.
13:31Yeah, the message is clear.
13:33Just always to be telling our listeners what's up.
13:37Gucci has a relatively new creative director
13:40called Sabato De Sarno.
13:42And he's ushered in a really beautiful,
13:45minimal, thoughtful tenure at Gucci.
13:50It's about these earthy tones
13:53and this beautiful red that's called Ancora.
13:55More, more, more.
13:56And yeah, it's very-
13:57I love that he came and said Ancora,
13:59which is more, more, more, more, more,
14:00and then did less, less, less, less, less.
14:02Did that, love him.
14:03But you guys need to run, run, run, run, run.
14:05It is great.
14:06We're big fans of Gucci over at Hobbs Bazaar.
14:09Me too.
14:09So over at the Goodbye,
14:10we like to get into the granular specifics
14:14of what you like to buy.
14:15So the first question-
14:16Yes, ma'am.
14:17Is, what is your first buy?
14:20What was the first buy that made you feel like,
14:22I made it, I'm the only woman.
14:24You're not telling me anything.
14:26The ostrich Prada.
14:27The ostrich Prada.
14:28I don't want to have ostrich anymore, you guys.
14:30I was 12.
14:31I didn't know better.
14:32I bought, and I was.
14:33I went to Paris for the first time.
14:35Why? It's true.
14:36I didn't know better.
14:37I went to Paris.
14:38And the first thing I did when I landed
14:39was I made my dad take me to Prada
14:40and I brought an ostrich bag.
14:41Oh my goodness.
14:42Sorry, I didn't know.
14:43Okay, more.
14:44So like, what was it?
14:45Like, did you beeline straightforward?
14:47Like that was the one?
14:48Well, no, I knew that was the one.
14:50It was calling to me.
14:51And it is still sitting in one of the many units.
14:53I was telling you about how I'm emotionally detached
14:55to all my items, yet I'm literally a hoarder.
14:57So I was kind of like,
14:59my personal closet is very minimal
15:00and very clean and very essential.
15:02The units, on the other hand, are a whole other level.
15:04The units.
15:06She contains multitudes.
15:07We have units.
15:08We have multiple locations.
15:09Oh.
15:10Just in case.
15:10We're not going to talk about the locations,
15:12but we are going to talk about what,
15:13do we have one that's like,
15:15tour costumes?
15:16Yes.
15:16We have one that's like...
15:17Archival, personal, sentimental, memorabilia,
15:22handmade, fan made, designer made, custom made.
15:27I made it.
15:28My grandma made it.
15:29Like all, I have all of it.
15:31Do you even have some stuff that you like regret in there?
15:34Like stuff that you're like, oh God.
15:36Yes.
15:36Can you tell us a regret story?
15:38Probably anything from around like,
15:41there's like a 2000 and probably six to 2009
15:46that are questionable.
15:47Okay.
15:48But they're iconic eras.
15:50That was what was it.
15:51I mean, I can't help it.
15:52The silhouettes really shift.
15:54Yeah.
15:54And that's something that when you look over,
15:56you know, a long career
15:59that you have to shift with those silhouettes at times.
16:02And so there are a couple of shapes
16:05that were just a little less flattering
16:08than I wish they would have been.
16:10Okay.
16:10But that everything comes back.
16:12But you know what?
16:12I also got into like, I love fringe.
16:16I will always stand by fringe.
16:17I love fringe forever.
16:18But there was an era of mine
16:19where like the fringe would go from under the bus,
16:22like down to the bottom of the boot.
16:23And it was wearing me.
16:24It was some long fringe.
16:25And I also had 250 individual hair extensions.
16:28And so there was just like a lot of like down.
16:30I have to talk about the fact she knows
16:33the amount of hair extensions,
16:35which anyone who's had hair extensions...
16:36It was under 250.
16:37My mom wasn't having it.
16:38Oh.
16:38Tish would say we need another row.
16:41Tish would be like, take another row up.
16:43We would have 250.
16:44Because she liked that fullness.
16:45Which they don't even do that anymore.
16:47The kind of hair extensions that we had,
16:49they don't even do these anymore.
16:50That is hilarious.
16:51Like, okay, but you've retired the extensions.
16:54Yes.
16:55We're onto something new.
16:56It was not just my hair and the fringe.
16:58They were just taking me down.
17:00Yeah.
17:00Yeah.
17:00I needed something to go up.
17:02And I didn't have that yet.
17:03I needed a lift.
17:05Can I ask how your mom has sort of like influenced?
17:08Is there any push pull with like your fashion
17:10and your look and how she has informed it?
17:13I think a lot of us, for our mothers,
17:15there was a standard of women being pretty before.
17:18That all of us now have gone, that's not my priority.
17:22It's not about just being pretty.
17:24That doesn't have enough depth for me.
17:26And so I think something that me and my mom have
17:30at one point had a back and forth about.
17:31And now I've seen her grow a lot.
17:34That that isn't her first thought
17:35when she goes into a store to try on clothes
17:37is do I look pretty?
17:38And I think a lot of that came from me
17:40because it's just never my first question about myself.
17:44I'm always thinking about what does this say?
17:46What does this mean?
17:47Like in this moment, is this expressing
17:49what I don't get to say to every stranger on the street?
17:53But when they see me, do they feel it too?
17:55And so I think, you know, for me,
17:57it's just like challenging that generation
17:59that my mother was a part of,
18:00that my grandmother was a part of
18:02that didn't give women the dimension
18:03that they deserve of that clothes
18:05can be more than just make you look pretty.
18:06That's so beautiful.
18:09My mom, my mom questioned some of my looks.
18:12Okay.
18:13What's a recent question?
18:15Um, my mom, let's think of something
18:19she hasn't liked recently.
18:22Trying to think.
18:23There hasn't been much.
18:24And how does she let you know?
18:25Does she like text you?
18:26Like, what are you doing?
18:27You'll just know.
18:28It's that thing.
18:29It's the lack of text.
18:30No, she'll do that thing where it's like cute.
18:33You feel me?
18:34Oh, what's she saying about?
18:37Oh, that was so mean.
18:39Which one?
18:39We had game night at my house
18:41and I got this really cute new Margiela vest.
18:44And I said, mom, look, I got this Margiela vest today.
18:46And she goes, cute.
18:49Yeah.
18:49And then I was like, you don't like it.
18:50And she's like, well, it's not my thing.
18:53But it was super cute.
18:55It was like a little cashmere Margiela vest.
18:56It was like so cute.
18:57But it was a little cropped.
18:59And it had like plaid kind of hanging off the sides.
19:01But that Margiela is not really my mom's thing.
19:03My mom was so happy when I started
19:05working with Dolce & Gabbana.
19:06Because my mom's a Dolce girl through and through.
19:07And she loves a Gucci like jeans and a blazer.
19:10That's everything.
19:11But my mom does come from that world.
19:12It's about being pretty.
19:13It's about being sexy.
19:14And so for me, sometimes what I like about Margiela
19:17is that it can lean a bit more androgynous.
19:19And it can lean into a little bit more of a question mark
19:21for kind of someone that likes to play it safe.
19:24You know, they kind of question it.
19:26But I did have it paired casually.
19:27I wore it with jeans.
19:28There you go.
19:29Tish, come on.
19:30Come on.
19:31I mean, some Margiela by John Galliano.
19:33We love.
19:34It's the fashion.
19:35Yeah, it's the fashion.
19:36Okay.
19:36I feel like mom, it's fashion.
19:37She'd be like, is it?
19:40Your kind of fashion.
19:42What do you repeat by?
19:44Like, what are your white t-shirts?
19:45Do you buy the same one over and over again?
19:47I'm embarrassed to say that I just bought
19:48three pairs of the same shoe.
19:50Okay, tell us.
19:50But that's because I already know that
19:52I'm going to wear these until the sole fall off.
19:54They're just little kind of the row,
19:57very soft, minimal black boots.
20:00And they're so soft that I can already tell
20:02that they are going to, you know,
20:04I got two years in these,
20:05but these aren't a two year boot.
20:06This is a forever boot.
20:07So I just bought three pairs.
20:09That's really smart.
20:10Yeah, I think that is really smart.
20:12Again, imbuing a little lesson.
20:15We know the row.
20:16We love the row.
20:172006, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's line.
20:21Wow, the year established.
20:22I love that.
20:24I love sitting with this with all the info.
20:27Listen, I'm an oracle, people.
20:29But their leather is incredibly soft.
20:32It's wonderful.
20:33They use it on their bags.
20:34They use it in their jackets.
20:35But it is so soft, so buttery.
20:37In fact, that it's almost for girls
20:40who really wear their clothes.
20:41And I'm a girl who wears them.
20:43I'm on the subway.
20:44I'm sweating, you know,
20:46things are really happening in my clothes
20:47and I'm living my life.
20:50And I think that, you know,
20:51you really have to, you got to be robust
20:54and you got to think about how to make it last.
20:56So it's very smart that you have
20:58three pairs of the same boots.
20:58I've heard one of my boys just told me about,
21:00I'll have to get the name.
21:00Someone just told me about a new like leather cream
21:03that you put on your boots
21:04that make them last a lot longer.
21:06But I don't, there's not a cream in the world
21:08that could come between me and my row boots.
21:10I need these.
21:11Okay, remember before you mentioned your little stores?
21:14Oh yeah.
21:15So are there any that you want to disclose?
21:19And what do you go there for?
21:21Well, I love going to local,
21:26small, supporting those smaller businesses
21:29because when it comes to my designers
21:31and those kinds of relationships,
21:32like they don't need my money, except the row.
21:36They just got my money.
21:37But they take all of our money.
21:40The girls take all my money.
21:42But, you know, besides that,
21:43I really like to support my smaller,
21:45like local businesses in LA
21:46and some of my vintage stores that I use,
21:48they actually, most of them do not have names.
21:51They're appointment only contacts.
21:52Yes.
21:53And so for me, what I like to do
21:55is find someone that's a collector
21:57and keep in contact with them
21:59and be having someone individual,
22:02you know, kind of curating for me
22:04because I mean, girls, it's too much out here.
22:07Like you can shop 24 seven.
22:10It's like paralysis.
22:11It's, you know what?
22:12We need guys.
22:12They did it like a Vegas lottery.
22:15It's like, you've always got,
22:16they call it the, what is it?
22:17The jackpot in your pocket.
22:18It's like, you've always got it.
22:19And anytime you're sad or down,
22:20you grab your phone
22:20and you can get that retail therapy.
22:22And I actually think it can become super unhealthy
22:25and you can not have the same gratitude for your pieces
22:27because I love like hoofing it to a store
22:30and trying things on and making a decision.
22:33And when you don't have that experience,
22:35sometimes you're not as emotionally attached
22:37to what you have.
22:37Totally.
22:38A hundred percent.
22:38I'm only laughing
22:40because me and Leah share an office
22:41over at Harper's Bazaar HQ
22:43and she, Lord, she knows.
22:46I'll be coming in from lunch.
22:47I went over and I'll be like,
22:49on Instagram with a vintage reseller.
22:52Like the other day I was like-
22:53The DMs is in.
22:54I was DMing about a vintage-
22:56Oh yeah, the Carrie Bradshaw.
22:57Yeah, the skirt.
22:58Oh no, I was actually talking about the Comme des Garcons.
23:00Oh, see, it's hard to-
23:02But I, yes, a Westwood mini skirt.
23:04That's the little Westwood mini skirt
23:06that Carrie wore in Sex and the City
23:07with the little ruffle on the butt.
23:10I bought it and then I freaked out
23:11and like returned it back and-
23:13Oh, I love a return.
23:14I'm like, ah!
23:15That's the most important part
23:16is making sure that there are returns.
23:18Because sometimes you're in the moment
23:19and you're having a vision of all these things
23:20you're going to do
23:21in that little ruffled Vivian skirt.
23:22And then you're like,
23:23I haven't done any of those things
23:24like ever in my life.
23:25When am I doing that?
23:26Yes.
23:27Is there like a holy grail
23:29that you're searching for right now?
23:31I am on the quest for a new motorcycle boot
23:36and something that feels clean,
23:40but somewhat worn, not Western.
23:44What I'm looking for is not Western.
23:46And I'm also, it's true, I don't want Western.
23:49I want it clean, but I want it worn.
23:52I don't like when I'm sitting
23:54and it feels like I'm in an equestrian
23:56or I can't, I'm all about like movement.
23:59Like, you know, we were kind of talking about
24:00when I envisioned myself,
24:01it's like, I want to be able to dance at any moment.
24:04I want to be able to take my dog
24:05to the park at any moment.
24:07I don't want to have to think,
24:08oh, I'm in these stiff boots right now.
24:10That's just not, I want it to be able
24:11to be in every part of my life.
24:13So I am on the quest for the perfect
24:14kind of motorcycle boot
24:15that's clean line, fresh, worn, not Western.
24:19And again, bought a couple of pairs,
24:20regretted immediately, did the return.
24:23No, I did the Louisville ones with the round toe.
24:26And because I have the small feet,
24:27the web isn't working for me.
24:29Like it's giving, it's just,
24:31it's doing that thing where it's giving,
24:32but not giving.
24:33Giving, but not giving.
24:34It's like doing too much,
24:35but not doing enough for me personally.
24:37And the other thing is like,
24:38I actually, I have like, you know,
24:41long legs and a proportionate torso.
24:45Bradley told Bob Mackie I had a short torso.
24:48He was like, I told him,
24:49I gave him all your measurements,
24:50long leg and a short torso.
24:51I'm like, girl, my torso is as long as you
24:52and you're 5'9 and I'm 5'4.
24:54Take that back.
24:55So that, I told him.
24:56Oh, they're trying not to laugh audibly,
24:58but I'll call it out on the pod.
25:00I'll call it out on the pod.
25:00Because my thing is,
25:01like I do have the long legs,
25:02so I can get away with wearing
25:04like a taller motorcycle boot.
25:05But when I wear a shorter motorcycle boot,
25:07they kind of cut me off.
25:08But I'm not looking,
25:09I'm looking for something in that middle ground.
25:11I'm looking for something that could be worn.
25:13Also, I love to wear my motorcycle boots
25:14with like a gown if I want.
25:16So I want to be able to wear them
25:17with anything, perform in them.
25:19I ask so much of my boots.
25:21I ask so much of them.
25:22My motorcycle boots and a gown.
25:24Yeah, where is it hitting?
25:26So I'm like it to be like,
25:28maybe it's shin.
25:29Okay.
25:29Shin, not really near the knee
25:31because like, I want to show the length.
25:33But yeah.
25:33I want to show the length of my legs.
25:36Right?
25:37Shin, shin height.
25:39Miley Cyrus, the final question,
25:41though I could-
25:42I know, I love this conversation.
25:44But I will say, I really,
25:46you know your stuff.
25:47You are a shopper.
25:49I can feel it.
25:50Oh yeah.
25:50She's a scroller.
25:52Looking and hunting.
25:53I love it.
25:54That's very much Harper's Bazaar's way.
25:58What is your latest good buy?
26:00What is the last thing you bought
26:01that you are obsessed with?
26:05I think my-
26:07I just bought a leather jacket from Saint Laurent.
26:10And I love it because it fits
26:13in every version of myself.
26:15And I am very particular about spending.
26:19So if I am going to make a big purchase,
26:22I want it to be something that
26:24I could imagine myself wearing it
26:27as long as it lasts.
26:28And so I, you know,
26:30like the vision that you have
26:31with your Vivienne Westwood skirt.
26:32I saw myself everywhere in this coat.
26:34Like I could imagine myself doing all these things.
26:36What I mostly imagined was like
26:37going to a concert with my boyfriend.
26:39But then I imagined it wearing
26:40at one of my own concerts.
26:42And then I imagined like me and my mom
26:44once a year and go walk around
26:45this rose garden in Pasadena.
26:47And sometimes it's cold.
26:48So I'll bring my jacket.
26:49It's like this jacket gets to come with me
26:51on the sweetest moments of my life.
26:53Like on the simplest,
26:54most personal moments of my life.
26:56But I also bought it so it could be a part
26:57of those big moments in my life.
27:00I can wear it on stage.
27:00Again, I love a leather jacket and a gown.
27:02I can wear it with a gown.
27:03I always am looking for something
27:05that can be a bridge between my personal life
27:08and my professional persona.
27:10And that's where I ended up
27:11making those big splurges.
27:12It's something that feels like
27:13it fits into both of my worlds.
27:14It's really nice.
27:15Yeah, that's amazing.
27:16I'm like, wow, Anthony Vaccarello,
27:18designer of Saint Laurent.
27:19Like he really did it.
27:20Like for a piece of clothing
27:22to be able to achieve that
27:23for someone like you to exist on a big stage
27:25and then on a walk with your mom.
27:27He really does.
27:27That's one of my favorite parts
27:29about Saint Laurent is that
27:30I feel like it's something that
27:32there's, you know,
27:33photos of me probably when I was like 16.
27:35My first leather skirt,
27:36my nice leather skirt that I got for myself.
27:38It was Saint Laurent.
27:39During the bangers era,
27:40I was wearing full Saint Laurent
27:42before it was Anthony.
27:43And that was at a time
27:44where I was really like
27:46kind of recreating myself.
27:48And I was redesigning myself.
27:49And the fact that something
27:50that could fit when I was 15
27:52and that's so not who I was at 21,
27:54it still really worked.
27:55And then going with Anthony
27:57with Saint Laurent to the Met.
27:58And I loved going with him
28:00because the theme was camp.
28:02And we didn't really play
28:03into doing anything that felt
28:05felt like me.
28:05I am camp.
28:06It's like, it's camp.
28:08You know, he put me in a triangle
28:10and called it a day.
28:11And it was like, that was everything.
28:13And so I feel like Saint Laurent
28:14is something that I always feel
28:16is an amazing investment
28:18because it's always going to be classic.
28:20I, it's really affirming to me
28:22to hear you, you know,
28:24you can buy whatever you want.
28:25And it's really amazing to hear
28:27you be so mindful and be like,
28:28no, look, it's a big purchase.
28:30I want to make sure I get the wear.
28:31I want to make sure that it works.
28:32I want to make sure I love it.
28:34You have inspired me.
28:35And that skirt sounds cute,
28:37but I have one of those
28:38little Vivian skirts
28:38and we're not going to wear it.
28:39I'm selling mine.
28:40You probably were trying to buy mine.
28:42I'm getting rid of all of it.
28:43Annie, I'll take all the advice.
28:46Hand her the mic.
28:47It was like a time during the day
28:48that like, I feel that like
28:50for me wearing a skirt,
28:52especially something that feels like
28:54I want to, I'm a little bit of a tomboy,
28:55but I also like tap into that
28:57super feminine part of my energy.
28:59And when I'm tapping into that,
29:00like sometimes I feel cute in a skirt,
29:01but I just feel like,
29:02I just feel like you're not going to wear it.
29:03I'm glad you returned it.
29:04From Miley's mouth to God's ears, guys.
29:08I could do this all day long,
29:09but alas, you must leave us.
29:12Miley Cyrus, thank you for being
29:13an amazing guest on Look Goodbye.
29:16You are a style icon
29:19and a consummate shopper,

29:22Oh, this was such a treat.
29:24And I feel like,
29:25like gifted our audience
29:26with some really valuable style lessons.
29:28I mean, the way you describe
29:30the power of clothes
29:31or the ways that we think about it too.
29:34Say goodbye at the goodbye.
29:36Au revoir.
