Javiles/FAMEFLYNET PICTURES Miley Cyrus is bringing the early '90s back (even though she's too young to remember them that well).
The 21-year-old singer was rocking a bleached blond bowl cut, thin suspenders, oversized black pants and a tiny, midriff-baring white T-shirt on Monday, Jan. 14. The fashion risk-taker was all smiles in her edgy, black-and-white ensemble, chatting happily with pals outside an L.A. recording studio.
This isn't the first time Miley's had some help keeping her pants up. She wore a similar pair of black suspenders to the December 2013 opening of Beacher's Madhouse in Las Vegas. Those suspenders, however were attached to a hip-hugging, short black skirt—which makes more sense for clubbing than the parachute pants.
She also wore a pair of conservative black overalls for an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show back in October 2013. The functional fashion staple kept things covered and daytime-friendly when Miley performed "Wrecking Ball," and yes, rode a giant wrecking ball on the air (obviously not naked).
So does Miley have the power to bring these looks back into the mainstream? Could she usher Steve Urkel's high-waisted pants and suspenders into the mainstream for 2014? Or maybe she'll bring overalls back to the masses (with one strap undone, though, clearly). That's all TBD.
If anyone can, though, it's the Queen of Twerk. All she needs now is a good set of scrunchies—and no, her hair's not too short!
