Fresh from her much-talked-about SNL stint, Miley Cyrus took on the Today Show with a “twerky” stage performance and a rather awkward exchange with the host, Matt Lauer, about his sexual drive.
The 20-year-old deflected questions about her sudden transition to a more adult image by comically suggesting that people lose their sexual drive at age 40 and that Lauer, who is now 55, had long lost his. Nice dodge, Cyrus. We see what you did there.
Miley Cyrus brings edgy glam to The Today Show, pairing a crisp white Kenzo button-down and distressed denim shorts with bold metallic T.U.K. creepers
The twerk queen wore an all-white stage ensemble, choosing a kimono buttondown top by Kenzo, which she paired with custom-made white denim shorts (of course, the twerk queen has to show off her designated jiggly parts).
Miley slipped into a pair of metallic sneakers with checkered details from T.U.K. and put on a chunky silver necklace from Celine.

Miley Cyrus performed three songs — “We Can’t Stop,” “Party in the U.S.A.,” and “Wrecking Ball,” which is currently topping the Billboard charts. It was an impressive performance, but her scandalous, controversial stage antics continued. Her fans got to see plenty of tongue action and twerking!

While this is not a look we would recommend wearing out in public (indecent exposure, anyone?), we applaud Miley Cyrus for incorporating such a classic buttondown shirt into a rugged but sexy outfit that reflects her current image.
While we are not in a position to join the widespread morality discussion about Miley’s image change, we do have to say that this outfit was very twerking-friendly.
Aside from her skimpy shorts, Miley’s creepers captured our attention. We’ve previously also spotted her wearing creepers in Manhattan and Toluca Lake.
This time, she sported T.U.K. “The Low Sole” creepers with contrast black woven detail around the toes, D-ring eyelets holding contrast laces, and 2-inch flatforms.

Would you consider wearing a pair of creepers? Her shoes have now sold out:

Miley Cyrus’s affinity for creepers is shared by other celebrities, highlighting the shoe’s versatility and appeal. For instance, Kourtney Kardashian elevated her Paris street style by pairing chic Prada creepers with a classic black dress, showcasing a polished yet edgy look.
Similarly, Rihanna’s collaboration with Puma led to the creation of the Fenty Puma Creepers, which took the sneaker world by storm and earned her the Shoe of the Year award.
