Miley Cyrus Matches Boyfriend Maxx Morando at the 2025 Oscars in a "Surprisingly Demure" Dress

It's shockingly low-key.

Miley Cyrus has arrived at the 2025 Oscars red carpet and, per usual, the pop star is making a scene. She used the highly-anticipated event on March 2 as an opportunity to go red carpet official with her new boyfriend Maxx Morando. Together, the couple took the step-and-repeat in coordinating all-black looks, with Cyrus in an embellished McQueen gown and Morando in a matching two-piece sit.

Though the "Flowers" singer is most famous for her jaw-dropping naked looks, her outfit for the 97th Annual Academy Awards was nothing short of demure. She wore a high-neck gown covered in elegant beadwork. The Victorian-inspired design did feature a subtly sheer mesh skirt, but that was the piece's most risqué detail.

Though Cyrus's gown featured a few edgy elements—like lace gloves and bleached eyebrows—the rest of her ensemble was all elegance. While the number is a major departure from her previous style eras (there wasn't a nipple pasty or thong in sight), the look falls perfectly in line with her new '80s glam-rock aesthetic—the theme of her upcoming album, Something Beautiful. Thus far, sophisticated noir numbers have become a signature of the era.

Cyrus's man, meanwhile, perfectly matched her freak, if you will. He too wore all-black, embellishing his sleek suit with a beaded rose that matched Cryrus's bedazzled halter gown. The two also chose similar footwear styles, both opting for coordinating black leather styles.
