The recent news of the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special delighted millennials who grew up loving Miley Cyrus as the blonde-haired pop star with a secret. Cyrus has kept the spirits high by embodying her beloved character in a series of colorful, sequin, and rhinestone-studded looks on red carpets, even returning to that signature Hannah Montana blonde and set of bangs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Last night, at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Cyrus took a night off from her own character cosplay. The pop star and actor forwent the sparkles in favor of a Herm\u00e9s leather coat with foldover lapels and a buttoned up neck, paired with matching cigarette pants. She also wore pointed black pumps and an anklet, as well as Marli rings, bracelets, and earrings, plus her own engagement ring<\/a>.(A cushion-cut stone on a thick, 14k yellow gold band, made bespoke by designer Jacquie Aiche<\/a>.) It was much more Miley Cyrus in 2026 than Miley Ray Stewart or H.M.<\/p>\n Cyrus stuck to the hay-toned, chest-length blonde, and kept glam grungy with a gray smoky eye.<\/p>\n Miley Cyrus at the 2026 iHeartRadio Awards.<\/p>\n <\/span>Photo: Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The pop star accepted the Innovator Award, a gong previously awarded to Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift. (Swift also made a surprise appearance, out for nine nominations across the evening.) \u201cThis week, celebrating 20 years of Hannah Montana has been a dream come true. My double denim and gold scarf thanks you because they’ve been waiting over a decade to leave the house,\u201d Cyrus began her speech.<\/p>\n \u201cHannah Montana inspired me so much in my own career,\u201d Cyrus continued. \u201cI fell in love with the idea that you can create a persona that gives you the confidence and the courage to perform authentically, and that sometimes the fake you can actually reveal the real you.\u201d<\/p>\n Cyrus\u2019s outfit was quite the switch-up from her look for the Hannah Montana special premiere in Los Angeles. Appearing alongside her fianc\u00e9 Maxx Morando<\/a>, she tapped the 2000s aesthetics in a graphic tee under a plunging and slinky silver chain gown by Rabanne. The t-shirt, which appeared on the runway with a different print, was made custom to feature an old promo image of the pop star. Self-referential and glitzy, it truly was a look that spoke to the best of both worlds<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n
