Noah Cyrus' CMT Awards Outfit Has People Talking

Rising country star Jimmie Allen and pop-country scion Noah Cyrus joined forces to give a lovely performance of their collaboration "This Is Us" at the 2020 CMT Music Awards on October 21st. The vocals were on point, but the Twittersphere had mixed reviews of Noah's look. She had long, jet black hair. She rocked a cowboy hat, which makes sense, since it's the CMT Music Awards, after all. She wore tall, white boots, which again, is pretty on-brand for a country event. She even threw on some white opera gloves. Normally, accessories complement an outfit, but in this case, the accessories were the majority of the outfit. As far as clothing goes, there wasn't much of it, as the singer wore a flesh-colored bodysuit with a bejeweled bra top and thong over it, prompting some outlets to add a black bar over Noah's outfit in coverage the following morning. It's unclear what, exactly, inspired the bold look, but Cyrus was exuding Cher vibes for sure. However, one viewer made it clear they didn't quite believe in Noah's sartorial savvy when they tweeted, "What the hell was Noah Cyrus wearing??? So not appropriate! And she's no Cher!!!" Unsurprisingly, some Twitter users also mentioned Noah's sister, pop star Miley Cyrus. One person remarked, "Not a fan of [Noah Cyrus's] performance. I feel like she is trying to be like her sister. Plus, her outfit was inappropriate!!" Someone else declared, "Dang Noah Cyrus took a page outta Miley's playbook with that [CMT Music Awards] outfit." Noah Cyrus is perhaps best known as Miley Cyrus' little sister and Billy Ray Cyrus' youngest child, but, at 20-years-old, she's not a little kid anymore. This is something she made abundantly clear when she stepped out on the CMT stage in that outfit. Of course, there were some critics. One person asked, "Anyone else confused on what Noah Cyrus is wearing???!" Another posted, "What the heck is Noah Cyrus wearing at the CMT awards?" Another said, "Seems Noah Cyrus didn’t get the memo that CMT Awards are not equivalent to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show. I cannot fathom how incredibly distasteful & abhorrent her ‘costume’ was. Praying to God above that she’s forbidden to perform among CMT artists ever again." The look got a lot of criticism, but some people did actually appreciate her ensemble. One person said she was, quote, "Lowkey obsessed with [Noah's] outfit." Another applauded the singer for being comfortable enough to rock the look, tweeting, "everyone is heated about [Noah's] outfit tonight but honestly I loved it and wish I had that kind of confidence." Although some fans hated on Noah's outfit because it reminded them of something her sister Miley might have worn onstage, the two have a complicated relationship, and Noah says she's not trying to be Miley 2.0. For instance, Noah once said on an Instagram Live stream that it was actually "unbearable" growing up in her sister's shadow, and it inspired her track "Young and Sad" off her May 2020 EP, The End of Everything. Noah said on the stream, "Being born in the family I was in, everybody gave me such a hard time for having a hard time being Miley's little sister, but I always felt like I was that person that no one gave a s--t about due to what people said to me online. It was absolutely unbearable." But that doesn't mean that the two don't get along, though. They are reportedly close, although Miley claims that Noah is the worst when it comes to texting her back. As for carrying on her family's legacy through music, Noah said in an interview with tmrw magazine, "I've always understood that I had a 'powerful' last name, or a well-known last name, so that's not really what I wanted to be tied to. I always wanted to be tied to Noah." They might be related, but they are definitely not the same person. Even if their body suits and bejeweled crop tops sometimes suggest otherwise.
