Miley Cyrus returned to the Met Gala tonight after a three-year absence, She walked the carpet alone, without her fiancé Liam Hemsworth. Cyrus wore backless, low black halter dress with her blonde hair down. She wore cross earrings, a nod to the Heavenly Bodies theme.
Had Hemsworth gone with her, it would've been the couple's first time attending the event together and Hemsworth's first time at the Met Gala entirely.
The singer hinted she'd be attending earlier today on her Twitter. "Lol Bad A$$ @Converse edit!" she wrote, posting a fan's Photoshopped image of her 2013 Met Gala look. "Throwback to my first MET! Can’t wait for tonight! #ConverseXMiley" Cyrus, of course, just released a shoe and clothing collection with Converse, hence the hashtag and hint she may be wearing something from the collection.
Cyrus attended the gala previously in 2015 and 2013—though with no official date.
