I had been waiting for Miley to wear the new hair out to a formal event, just to see how she’d style it. The answer? A full Roxette. Oh, she’s got the look, all right. ZING.

I don’t feel weird spotlighting these Twitpics because: a) they were also made available by a professional photo service, and b) Miley Cyrus has eight million Twitter followers, so clearly, she’s not going to feel like we’ve hijacked a precious private moment. You don’t Tweet something you don’t want the world to see, unless you are incredibly misinformed as to what Twitter is. And she’s no social media dunce, so obviously she felt good about that shirt. Which… says a lot. Really, this is a backdoor into the topic of her new hairdo, but bless her for sharing it with the world along with some really terrible outfits. Keep bein’ Miley, yo.

With rare exception, I really like Marie Claire‘s covers. Like, remember when they managed to pull this off, vis a vis Jessica Simpson? She hasn’t looked that good since. Nor had she looked that good prior. I’d say, in general, that they’re particularly great at taking someone who tends to look overdone and…undoing them. (Perhaps last month’s Wiig cover just ended up TOO undone because Wiig isn’t that Done to begin with?) I am relieved to see them back on track here. Miley looks so….fashion-y. And not cheesy. And almost model-esque? That is no mean feat considering that she walks around town wearing hot pants and thigh-high boots half the time, you know? It’s like MAGIC. And I can’t help but wonder, can’t whomever it is who is pulling off said dark magic on the almost regular lurk outside Lindsay Lohan’s hotel door for the next six weeks or so, on the off chance that, when Lindsay finally emerges to make a Taco Bell run, she can be kidnapped and spirited away to the MC labs for some under-doing? Don’t worry, Marie Claire, you don’t have to photograph her or anything. You don’t even have to TELL anyone. You can just release her into the wild again, better. Consider it a gift to Southern California.
According to the caption, this was Miley doing some shopping in New York.
According to the laws of fashion, this more closely resembles Miley taking out her garbage before going out to earn some rent money, while hoping a dude in a Lotus picks her up for a stick-shift lesson.

There is a Nokia ad running right now with a food fight, filmed where I had my reception. Ours ended more tidily... if perhaps as boozily -H

Decently Played, And Then Miley-ly Played: Miley Cyrus
As with all things, my initial fear of this makeover has come around to affection. Because remember when she had three tons of the world’s rattiest, most gnarled hair extensions? That was worse.
