Miley Cyrus Rocks $25,000 Corset in Sexy New 'Can't Be Tamed' Video

miley cyrus can't be tamed video peacock $25,000 metal corset

Holy sheet! Miley Cyrus's back-baring Vanity Fair cover-up wasn't nearly as scandalous as her latest garb that's grabbing headlines.

In the shockingly sexy video for her new single "Can't Be Tamed," the 17-year-old Disney darling rocks a $25,000 silver-scale corset while writhing around and caressing her chest.

The peacock-feathered number, made from 2,400 metal pieces, was created by The Blonds and originally made its debut at their Fall 2010 fashion show.

With "Can't Be Tamed" -- the title track on her upcoming album, out June 22 -- Cyrus seems hell-bent on making wholesome Hannah Montana flip her wig:

In one steamy scene, a Gaga-inspired Cyrus wears a black bustier-and-hot pants number as she shimmies against a pole and grinds against her male and female backup dancers.

The edgy video, which debuted last night on E!, opens with Cyrus as "Avis Cyrus, a winged creature in a birdcage. But it's not long before Avis busts out -- quite literally!

Teen queen Cyrus has hinted that the concept of "Can't Be Tamed" mirrors her desire to be seen as more than Ms. Montana. "Its about the core of, I don't want to be in a cage, I want to be free and do what I love," she says.



"I want to make the movies or make the music I want." And though she's ruffled the feathers of critics who say the video's costumes and tone are inappropriate for a girl her age, Cyrus says they're missing the point.

"The video is not about being sexy or about who can wear less clothes. That's what every other video is about," she told E!'s Ryan Seacrest. "It's about explaining the song and living the lyrics."

And as Cyrus proved with her provocative 2008 Vanity Fair cover, she doesn't care what people think. "For me it's never been about fitting in," she says. "I'd rather stand out."

Well, maybe she can't be tamed, but if StyleList were Billy Ray Cyrus, she'd be grounded.

I think this is amazing. Yes, some people might think that it's to mature for little kids but this is her style. This is who she wants to be! I don't think she wants to be the girl stuck in her cage telling people who she wants to do. She wants people to know that it's her life and that's her. You go Miley! I support Miley and I definitely love this video.

She is under 18. Any sexually suggestive pictures or videos of anyone under the age of 18, nude or not, is child pornography. Anyone who supports child pornography is a pedophile. That's not my opinion...it's called "the law". Look it up, if you can read.

Miley Cyrus spent years building a young following. For her to come out with an inappropriate piece of junk like this is entirely ridiculous. To the person who said that this is her style, you haven't had the misfortune of seeing her other junkie music/movies. She does pop with the annoying grating sound of her disgusting country accent alongside her childish voice. She sounds like any other person singing in the shower. Good vocals....nonexistant. Plus, this has no artistic qualities. The message here is: I'm 17 and I go through guys all the time, I do inappropriate things with them that are so outlandish that I just "can't be tamed".

She is not an artist. She is an accumulation of everything wrong in the music industry. She has no talent and I pity all of you who support her by buying into this mess.Your art is trash. Your minds will not expand. There's more to life than showing too much pale skin and a push up bra.

Right on. This girl is pitiable; I blame the Disney Machine. She wouldn't be doing this without their blessing - They're looking to "place" her with a different market in order to keep milking the cash cow.

Kaitlyn, shame on you - her "disgusting southern accent" ??? Who do you think you are? This girl was raised in Tennessee - I'd much rather hear a southern accent than some Eastern Jersey talk...matter of choice. You are not an expert - sorry to disappoint you, but you're just not all that.

Well Kaitlyn,
That's your opinion and you know what they say about opinions....they're like a--hole's...everyone has one.....and that being said...yours doesn't mean much.
Personally, I thought it was very good. She has a right to grow up and become something more than a teenybopper. She can't be that forever. After all, she's 17, almost a legal adult. I wish her nothing but luck in whatever she decides to do with "HER" life.

I don't care if you believe my opinion doesn't count. Neither does your ignorant one. I am a southern girl and I do not play up my accent to fit into some fake persona I've created for myself. Shame on you all for falling for the media's pitifully hidden secret agenda. Only fools do that. Yes, she is ALMOST a grown adult. She is not. Therefore, thank you for proving my point and that your perverted view is...well, perverted. I am eighteen and use my intellect to express myself. I am a published novelist and I have a body that is better than hers. I respect myself and do not claim to be a role model for 9 year olds.

You will be proven wrong when you see children prancing around in distasteful corsets this Halloween. Thank you for fueling this gross fire. You have "wonderful" taste.

I totally agree.
This is NOT a matter of "judgement" or "choice"...
This is NOT subjective.
Look up the law.
Anything depiction of anyone under the age of 18 in graphic sexual or sexual-related actions is CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. Nudity or not.
It's called "THE LAW"...call the cops and ask them what they think.
Anyone who supports this is, by definition, a pedophile.
So, step right up...who likes child porn???

Oh by the way...since everyone who likes this is stating so publicly...I'm sure you'd have no problem if I send all of your names to the local police department, and they can explain to you when they come to your door that child pornography is not ok.
Have a nice day!
Oh...I won't be reading any responses to this, because they'll be ignorant pedophiles trying in vain to pretend they're not.

I think that she has a valid point in wanting to update her teen pop star image into something more adult. The thing is, I think she's going about it all wrong. She should be trying to make a more gradual transition from what she was to what she wants to be.

She just needs to remember the reason she got popular and rich and HUGE to BEGIN with was a wholesome image for girls to admire. Now It seems she's just like everyone else. ::YAWN:: boring!!! Another wholesome girl bites the dust.

personally i think mark, the supposed impartial writer and journalist and the last one ot comment,kaitlyn, are both smoking something and not sharing on their trip to another world. i think that they are trying to judge miley and the video by a 1940's list of standards. face it, you cant

everyone knows that sex and sexy sells. point blank that;s it. ok if miley did not sexy it up a little bit, she would not make it in the buisness, she is not hannah montana anymore those days are over and since kaitlyn pointed out that she created a following, yes they are sound her age but not mindless drowns that need spoon feeding, they know what the deal is as well.

in todays times of hot one minute and over the next, you do what you have to do to keep your name in people's minds, if not you over with. out of sight, out of mind. just because this is the public image that she uses to keep selling records and concert tickets, i.e. make a living since the hanna montana thing is OVER, it does not mean that is who she is offstage and in real life.

much like the queen of pop music, madonna, she has a public image and a private one and most celebrities and performers are like that, problem is that, the people who sit in judgement, i.e. mark and kaitlyn, cant seem to distinguish and understand that. this is what society expects of them and if they dont deliver then society will go to someone that will. dont blame miley for doing her job blame society and the music buying public for creating the job in the first place.

By your reasoning, no one should expect to hold entertainers to standards of talent and taste. "Sexy" is all very well - but on this child, it's inappropriate. What you are saying is that, if she wants a career, she needs to sell herself asap to appeal to society's lowest common denominator. Talent doesn't matter, standards don't matter, propriety doesn't matter, intelligence doesn't matter. The masses want a hooker, so a hooker this little girl will be. For that, she doesn't have to learn to sing - just shoot a few ping pong balls or twirl a couple of tassels....

Unfortunally, in this day in time it dose'nt matter how much talent a person has, it's how sexy they can make the video, cause nothing sells like sex. Majority of people won't buy anything like music or clothes unless it looks sexy. Especially for women. This is just a sign of the times. A shame but the truth.

The song has a pretty good beat. What some people need to realize is that the young followers she has had over the years, have also started to grow up ! It's time for her to expand, or she will lose all those fans as they continue to grow up ! If you don't like her music than don't listen to her. That way you won't have to write nasty comments about her talent. I'm not going to go out and buy her Cd's it's not for me, but she must be doing something right cause she keeps bring in the money for the old farts. lol
