Wands at the ready: Noah Cyrus's sheer knit dress and matching face covering already have the internet talking, drawing comparisons to the heavily cloaked dementors from Harry Potter [1]. After posting the haunting outfit from her Boise concert in an Aug. 30 Instagram gallery, commenters began to point out similarities (although we've never seen a dementor look this chic). While the creatures in the series also hide their faces beneath dark hoods, Cyrus's "dementor-core" was certainly much more fashionable. She wrapped her entire head and neck in a translucent dark blue material, later ditching the headpiece altogether in order to sing more freely.
Cyrus's matching sleeveless dress — from the brand 1111 [2] — was also a far cry from the tattered cloaks in the wizarding world, featuring delicate knit ruffle details and a flowy asymmetrical skirt that accentuated all of her movements onstage. She went on to share another outfit from her performance in Spokane, WA, donning yet another head covering (this time a white face mask), and a romantic white slip dress with lace panels.
Throughout her tour, Cyrus has maintained a decidedly eerie aesthetic with gothic elements, unique silhouettes, and plenty of head coverings. She previously tried her hand at dementor-core for Milan Fashion Week back in February, wearing a similarly see-through knit dress with an attached hood [3]. She doubled down on her avant garde style at Paris Fashion Week with a sheer Morticia Addams-style gown and embellished bikini top [4].
Read on to see Cyrus's take on dementor-core at her concert, and don't be surprised if this look steals your heart (and maybe your soul).
