Miley Cyrus brings a rock-and-roll spirit to everything that she does. Though she’s a pop star, she has covered classic hits by rock icons such as Joan Jett, Nine Inch Nails, and Metallica, among other artists. Her street style is often rocker-chic too, replete with tons of band tees and cool ripped jeans. For her latest musical performance, however, Cyrus’s glam rock style reached new highs in one sultry moment with an unlikely inspiration.

This weekend, the singer performed as part of the Global Goal: Unite For Our Future stream, which saw stars unite for a call to end social injustices and continue fighting against COVID-19. For the occasion, Cyrus performed a powerful rendition of The Beatles hit “Help!” in the empty Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, CA. When it came time to choosing her look for the stage, Cyrus also looked to The Beatles’s original album artwork for “Help!” and gave the oversized blue shirts worn by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr a more glamorous twist.

But instead of a tent-like top, Cyrus’s rendition was an ab-revealing gown complete with dazzling crystals, an asymmetric sleeve, and a high slit courtesy of Alexandre Vauthier couture. “I wanted it to stay vibrant and hopeful like the melody of the song,” Cyrus tells Vogue of her look. “I love how this dress represents ‘Glam Rock.’ A little more [David] Bowie than The Beatles—with a nod to Dolly [Parton], whose version of ‘Help!’ I used as inspiration for my cover.” Parton, who is Cyrus’s godmother, is surely proud of the glam end result.
