Miley Cyrus’ unfortunate hairstyle at the 2024 Grammys is something we won’t forget anytime soon. The extravagant and teased look, which was reminiscent of her godmother Dolly Parton, was quite a shocker back then. However, at the 2025 Grammys, she surpassed that look with an equally eye-catching hairstyle. This year, she celebrated her win for Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Beyoncé for “II Most Wanted.” Now a three-time Grammy victor, Miley walked the red carpet showcasing a hairstyle that left many hairstylists cringing.
While she dazzled in a fabulous Yves Saint Laurent dress, the “Wrecking Ball” singer donned what appeared to be a hairstyle consisting of extensions, accompanied by full bangs and short layers. Unfortunately, the color choice added to the disaster, with striking blond highlights that clashed rather than blend with her base color, prompting visible discomfort among onlookers.
This hairstyle was crafted by celebrity stylist Bob Recine, who styled her hair in a previous year to resemble a lioness. Recine shared with Elle that they aimed for something completely different this time. He clarified that Cyrus’ look did not involve extensions but rather showcased her hair, which she had been growing out. Despite the effort, even her fans had to admit that it wasn’t her best hair moment.
Fans reacted to Cyrus’ new ‘do
Reactions to Cyrus’ fresh hairstyle filled social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Some fans praised her overall look, but many expressed their disappointment with her hairstyle. One follower commented on a video of her and her mother at the Crypto.com Arena, stating, “She looks so good but her haircut is f***ed up.” Another remarked on the awkward layer issue: “It looks like she has a bob and added extensions over it.” A third user humorously asked who was responsible for her hair, noting, “Y’all who cut Miley Cyrus hair for the Grammys lmfaoooo, I need to see a different angle.” Some were more critical, stating that the most shocking aspect of the Grammys was a reporter calling Miley’s haircut “incredible.”
Critics didn’t stop at her hair; they also found her black leather dress to be uninspiring, labeling it one of her least exciting outfits. One user reflected, “No shade to Miley but that dress is so boring compared to what she’s worn before.” Regardless of the mixed feedback, Miley appeared confident and completely in her element at the awards show. During her moment on stage to present the Record of the Year award, she couldn’t help but admire her gown, declaring to the audience, “Look at this gown. How could I tell my custom ALAÏA that she had nowhere to go? Yeah, it’s sickening!” She certainly owned the moment!
