The long dress is modest & yet is made to hav a framing chest-line pulling to the left. Modeling its natural instinct to standout.

Miley Cyrus steps out rocking a more in-depth way to The Side Bang. Let’s see how the bang speaks for this fashionista. There’s two convos going on here actually. One with the hair. One with the outfit.

The outfit depicts the passion she feels to stand out. To be one of a kind. It’s seen by the patterns, by the colors. The bang speaks, that although she dares stand out, she still holds modest beliefs for herself. You can tell by the cut she chose & by the decision of straightening it. Even the choice of adding black behind her bob, exemplifies this!

She has two strong personalities & she does a great job here of blending the two!
