Miley Cyrus Proves Her White Pump Obsession With Saint Laurent’s Cult-Classic Janis Heels

Back in August 2013, Miley Cyrus and her then-fiancé Liam Hemsworth silenced swirling breakup rumors when they stepped onto the red carpet arm in arm at the Paranoia premiere in Los Angeles.

The appearance wasn’t just a moment of celebrity PDA—it also marked the height of Miley’s edgy style era, complete with daring Proenza Schouler leather and her soon-to-be signature white pumps.

Miley opted for an edgy Proenza Schouler whipsnake and perforated leather dress, oddly accessorized with a prim black-and-white Chanel shoulder bag — perhaps in an attempt to match Liam’s austere black-and-gray Hugo Boss suit?

Her dress is made of perforated plastic leather in solid and whipsnake prints, held together with zigzag stitches. It closes through a hidden zipper and a hook-and-eye closure at the side.

Miley Cyrus Returns to Her Beloved Saint Laurent “Janis” Pumps

However, it seemed like Miley was only willing to modify her style as far as her handbag, as she reverted to her favorite white pumps when it came to her footwear.

The Saint Laurent “Janis” pump is more than just a red-carpet accessory—it’s a cult-classic platform stiletto that defined the Hedi Slimane era at the fashion house. With its pointed-toe silhouette, leg-lengthening platform sole, and variety of luxe finishes, the Janis has been praised for combining elegance with edge.

Although newer signature styles, such as the “Opyum,” have since taken the spotlight, the Janis remains a sought-after piece in the luxury resale market, admired for its timeless design and rock-and-roll spirit. Here are some of the most iconic celebrity moments featuring this enduring style:
