Miley Cyrus Celebrates Her Hollywood Walk of Fame Star in a ‘Fierce and Fabulous’ Naked Dress
For the unveiling of her star, Miley Cyrus had Donatella Versace handpick her Atelier Versace fall 2015 gown—an outfit for a rock star of any era.

There is something poetic about Miley Cyrus cementing her legacy in a dress that refuses to play it safe. At her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, the singer accepted one of entertainment's most enduring honors in an Atelier Versace archive gown — personally selected by Donatella Versace herself — and delivered a speech that was equal parts philosophy and flex. "My name is laid in gold and pink terrazzo, and it's fierce, and it's fun, and it's fabulous," she told the crowd. Hard to argue.
The gown in question, according to Vogue, was pulled from the fall 2015 Atelier Versace collection — the same piece Heidi Klum wore that year — but on Cyrus it read entirely differently. Black webbed material, intricate embroidery, a criss-crossing neckline, and that signature naked-dress energy that walks the line between sculpture and second skin. She finished with studded stilettos, a smoky eye, nude lip, and tousled blonde hair with brow-skimming bangs. The effect: rock goddess, not red carpet mannequin.
The Guest List Was Equally Dressed
Donatella herself showed up in a structured gold-embellished white mini with platform boots. Anya Taylor-Joy brought showgirl maximalism in sequined Bob Mackie and perspex heels. Cyrus's mother Tish and sister Brandi were there too, as was fiancé Max Morando, who made a brief appearance in the photo ops. It was, in every sense, a room full of people who understand that dressing for a moment is its own kind of devotion.
The choice of Versace wasn't arbitrary — it was inevitable. Working with longtime stylist Bradley Kenneth, Cyrus has spent years building a wardrobe that reads like a master class in rock-world dressing: Mugler, Roberto Cavalli, Alaïa, Bob Mackie, head-to-toe leather, subverted power suits. At the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary premiere she wore Rabanne with a custom tee bearing her own face. At the Dior 2027 cruise show: groovy double denim. Every look is deliberate, a little dangerous, and distinctly hers.
In her speech, Cyrus reflected on the star as something that cannot be chased or manufactured — "an accumulation of devotion" — and noted that mortality itself is what gives her urgency. The dress, the archive, the terrazzo: it all tracks. When you're building something meant to last, you dress accordingly.
