It seems like all the pictures of Miley Cyrus we’ve lately been bombarded with are of her doing lewd, obscene things in her cut-up-to-there costumes on her Bangerz tour.

So, when the 21-year-old pop star showed up to the 2014 World Music Awards looking all elegant and sophisticated, it surprised everyone more than any of her recent shock-provoking acts.

On Tuesday night, Miley hit the stage at Salle des Etoiles in Monte Carlo, Monaco, to perform one of her popular songs, “Wrecking Ball.” Ditching the bikini-like-baring leotards, the singer was resplendent in a Giambattista Valli Fall 2012 couture strapless gown.

Miley’s decision to wear the relatively tame dress wasn’t just for covering up, though, as the dress’s floral print matched the abstract patterns projected onto the screens behind her.

Everything in her performance, including her prop couch, piano, and keyboardist Mike Schmid, all featured something floral. Would you say this new theme is an improvement over the foam fingers and nipple pasties?

Miley took the stage again that night to accept her awards for World’s Best Video and World’s Best Female Artist.

Miley scored two fashion wins in one evening, changing out of her Giambattista Valli couture into a shimmery silver Kaufmanfranco column dress.

Miley received one of her awards towing her younger brother, Braison Cyrus, on stage, whom she called her “hawt date” in an Instagram post.
