Miley Cyrus Looked Damn Good Riding a Glittery Disco Wrecking Ball at the 2020 VMAs

Updated on 8/31/2020 at 10:10 AM

Miley Cyrus took to the MTV VMAs stage on Sunday night to perform "Midnight Sky" live for the first time, and every detail of her dazzling outfit took us straight back to 2013. In an homage to her iconic "Wrecking Ball" music video, Miley brought back the giant prop and blinged it out to resemble a massive disco ball. But the sparkling wrecking ball was definitely outshined by Miley's over-the-top outfit.

Channeling the '80s in an all-black leather look, Miley took to the stage in a sequined black vest, matching briefs, and a pair of strappy stilettos. The "Midnight Sky" singer accessorized the look with multiple layers of chunky chain-link bracelets, glittering rings on each finger, and statement necklaces in silver and gold. If you'll recall, her original "Wrecking Ball" look consisted of a white cropped tank top, white briefs, and red matte Doc Martens. While we love the grungy punk look, Miley's remixed "Wrecking Ball" outfit is where it's at.

Take a closer look at Miley's outfit and check out the difference between the original wrecking ball and the disco version here.
