Miley Cyrus is the first artist born in the '90s to score a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

On Friday, May 22, Miley Cyrus got the 2,845th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and it’s in the Recording category. This makes her the very first person born in the 1990s to earn this honor.

This recognition comes at an exciting time for Miley Cyrus. She’s been making waves lately, especially with her huge hit "Flowers", which scored her first GRAMMY Award. Plus, her latest projects like “Endless Summer Vacation” and the visual piece “Something Beautiful” are really adding to her incredible journey in music.

"My name is laid in gold and pink terrazzo and it’s fierce, fun and fabulous"

- Miley said in his thanking speech during honor.

The ceremony was full of style, emotion, and a ton of support from amazing people who spoke to share their praise. One standout was Ellen K, the famous iHeart Media personality and a member of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, who played the role of the official host.

Donatella Versace, the famous fashion designer, talked about Miley as a fashion chameleon and a style icon, highlighting her as an unstoppable creative force who uses her image as a narrative closely tied to her music.

Finally, Anya Taylor-Joy, who’s a good friend of Miley’s, talked about how the singer has evolved as an artist, her incredible resilience, and the big impact she's had on culture over the 20 years since she first appeared on Hannah Montana.

The perfect dress: Versace Archives

Miley's appearance for her significant event in Hollywood was a notable fashion statement. Given that Donatella Versace was one of the keynote speakers and her companion on the podium, it was only fitting that Miley chose to wear a remarkable creation from Versace. This exquisite attire captured considerable attention and successfully showcased her fashion sense.

Miley wore a black dress from the haute couture house's "archive" collection. When a dress is classified as "archived," it means it is a historical piece that was designed and made in the past—possibly 5, 10, or even 20 years ago—and has been preserved as a work of art.

Not just anyone can get into the Versace archives. Donatella Versace is super picky about who’s allowed to see those historic dresses. When Miley Cyrus wears one, it shows she’s become an official muse for the brand. It’s a huge sign of respect between a designer and an artist. Donatella is trusting Miley with a piece of her brand’s history for such a special day.

It was a long black dress in a "Naked Dress" style with an ultra-tight silhouette that played with the classic lines of the Italian house, distinguished by impressive structural tailoring.

She had on a bodice with a super noticeable corset-like design, which is a classic Versace look. The neckline was geometric and really flattered her shape. The top and torso of the dress had this cool three-dimensional pattern that looked like a fancy net or spiderweb. The crisscrossing lines created an optical illusion of textured rhombuses that played with the contrast of her bare skin.

The design had cool, detailed textures and a hint of metallic sparkles that really popped in the Californian midday sun, making it stylish with a fresh, modern vibe.

The lattice design flows beautifully across the chest, creating a chic halter neck that shows off the shoulders and showcases her signature arm tattoos.

The outfit wasn’t just about looking good; it was also a special nod to her relationship with Donatella. Rocking a piece from the designer while Donatella honored her legacy at the mic was the perfect way to wrap up a day where music and fashion really mixed together.

What She Said

Miley kicked off her acceptance speech by giving a shout-out to her fans. She pointed out that a star on the ground doesn’t mean much without people around it. She made it clear that the award is just as much theirs as it is hers since they’ve been there for her through all her musical "eras" and changes.

The singer had a great time reminiscing about her early days that kickstarted her journey to worldwide fame two decades ago. She shared some funny stories from her teenage years filming for Disney on Hollywood Boulevard. She’s super thankful for that experience, saying that embracing her past has helped her create the free and fulfilling life she has now.

She gave a shoutout to her two close friends and speakers at the event, Donatella Versace and Anya Taylor-Joy. She thanked Donatella for showing her how to use fashion as a shield and a bold way to express herself, and she appreciated Anya for being so loyal and creative. She also shared some loving words for her mom, Tish Cyrus, who was right up front cheering her on.

"My fans are the stars that make my dream a reality every day, through their love and support. And I thank them for that"

- Miley said in his thanking speech during honor.

Miley ended her speech with all the classic Miley vibes. She gave a shoutout to her fans, her family, her "future" family, and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. She snapped some fun pics lying next to her star and partied with the crowd of fans who literally stopped traffic on Hollywood Boulevard just to see her make history.
