Miley Cyrus’ Striped Jeans and Loafer Look Marked the Start of Her Bangerz-Era Edge

Back in February 2013, Miley Cyrus was in the midst of her edgy fashion reinvention — a moment that marked her bold break from her Disney past and a preview of the boundary-pushing style that would soon define her Bangerz era.

That weekend, the then-20-year-old star was spotted stopping by Lil’ Kim and Tiffany Foxx’s “Twisted” music video shoot at a private Hollywood residence, turning heads in striped Motel jeans and a cropped Topshop tee that captured her fearless, fashion-forward attitude.

Miley had already made memorable cameos in other artists’ music videos by 2013.

Still, judging by her laid-back, street-style look at the Twisted set, she seemed more like an off-duty guest supporting Lil’ Kim and Tiffany Foxx than an official cast member that day.

Of course, with Miley, a quick outfit change was never out of the question. She could easily have slipped into something different before or after filming — or perhaps this effortlessly cool mix of a cropped tee and striped Motel jeans was part of her on-set look all along.

Either way, the moment captured her signature unpredictability and fearless approach to style that kept fans (and fashion watchers) guessing throughout her Bangerz-era transformation.

Miley’s cropped tee paired with referee-like vertical-striped pants and sleek black loafers created a daring mix of casual and statement pieces — a look she pulled off with her usual confidence and ease.
