Sometimes she’s the artist, sometimes she’s the canvas.

Miley Cyrus is making fashion history as the first face of Maison Margiela in four decades — and she’s doing it in nothing but body paint.

The “Flowers” singer stars in the French house’s Autumn/Winter 2025 Avant-Première campaign, shot by famed Italian photographer Paolo Roversi.

In several of the painterly portraits, Cyrus appears nude save for white brushstrokes, accessorized only with a handbag and cleft-toe Tabi boots.

“Paolo’s nudes are incredibly iconic and characteristic of his artwork. Posing nude for a fashion campaign felt significant,” said the 32-year-old in a statement. “All I had on was body paint and the distinctive painted Tabi boots. In that moment, Margiela and I became one.”

The portraits reference the label’s iconic bianchetto technique, first introduced by founder Martin Margiela in 1989.

Using bianchetto, layers of white paint cover furniture, garments, and now, bodies, transforming each surface into a blank canvas that metaphorically reveals the “trace of time.”

For dedicated Cyrus followers, one particular image might seem recognizable. The over-the-shoulder pose mirrors the controversial 2008 Vanity Fair photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz, where a then-15-year-old Cyrus posed cloaked only in a satin sheet.

The images caused a media firestorm at the time, forcing both the star and the magazine to apologize — though later, the singer changed her tune.

“IM NOT SORRY,” the singer posted on Twitter in 2018 alongside a photo of the New York Post cover from April 28, 2008. “F–k YOU #10yearsago”

Leibovitz defended the portrait to Time in 2008, saying it was the public that needed to catch up: “The Miley picture was a beautiful, strong, simple picture. I think it’s actually sort of innocent on some level. She loved taking that picture, and she was ready to take that picture. It’s just that her audience wasn’t ready.”

Nearly two decades later, Cyrus is again stripped back—now on her own terms.
