There are capri leggings (#TBT), her signature cowboy boots, and plenty of other statement ’fits that show her performance costume evolution. Here, 55 of Miley’s best stage looks ever. Spoiler alert: There are LOTS of rhinestones ahead.

This outfit looks like it was inspired by Barbie because there’s So. Much. Pink. The singer ditched her signature Hannah wig and wore a bomber jacket, a pleated plaid skirt, and those striped knee-highs again for a pop star ensemble. Also, now I want a strawberry necklace?!

This look just gives off those “Party in the U.S.A.” vibes, right? She wore a black one-piece with mesh inserts and a raw-hem vest for this throwback stage look. (Now I have that song stuck in my head.)

Not a tour but definitely a turning point starring a latex bra and underwear. Raise your manicured foam finger if you remember the Bangerz days.
