Miley Cyrus: Sexy 'Can't Be Tamed' Style Inspired by Joan Jett, Blondie

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that 17-year-old pop tart Miley Cyrus has been using her wardrobe to make a major statement of late.

Like former Disney stars Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera before her, Cyrus has enlisted the aid of some uber-sexy garments -- thigh-baring bodysuits, curve-hugging black leather, and sky-high heels -- to prove that she's not innocent Hannah Montana anymore.

On the cover of her aptly named album "Can't Be Tamed," out June 22, the teen idol puts on the tough-girl act, exposing her midriff and rocking a $1,045 Robin's Jean black leather jacket and matching $825 studded leggings.

"I think the album cover was a strong statement saying in the most simple way that she can't be tamed literally and metaphorically," Cyrus's stylist Simone Harouche, who has also worked with Aguilera and J.Lo, tells StyleList. "She's growing up, getting older, doing her own thing, and she's in control now. The outfit we chose for the cover represented that."

"She is really into leather [and] Robin's Jean's leather jacket is such a cool staple piece," says Harouche. "It's embellished without being overly done and the fit is amazing. It's the perfect example of rock-and-roll clothing."

And while one would think Cyrus's current pantless obsession might be inspired by Gaga, Rihanna, and Beyonce, Harouche says the teen is taking style cues from a much earlier time.

"She's influenced by classic rock musicians such as Joan Jett and Blondie," Harouche reveals. "I think Miley's style is a natural progression of her growing up and being influenced by the music that inspires her or the visuals of certain periods in music."

What do you think of Cyrus's sexy new look? Let us know in a comment below.

Miley is a sexy, hot dream girl! I love the look, but Miley always looks great. I've heard some of the songs off her new album and it may be her best one yet. It is going to be #1 on Billboard for sure. Can't Be Tamed isn't even the best song on the CD.

I think for Miley it is just a look. Joan Jett really lived the lifestyle. Miley really can't do that because she is a christian. She should stay with disney.

ah yes..Miley..Every little girls idol. The message here is... don't go to school, make sure you look like a slut, learn early how to pole and lap dance,try hard to make people forget that you are really trailer trash with no talent and then you to can become "Oh so popular". Don't forget you need a redneck dad with a mullet to mooch off you for the rest of your life and to support your underage nearly nude photos.

Your a idiot really she is far from trailer trash and these remarks about her father grow up she is hardly riding from his fame he had one good hit. The girl is talented she can act and she can sing. She wouldn't have come this far if she couldn't sing or act and comparing her to others is just stupid. While I don't agree with some of her antics I truly think you people need to lighten up on her and before anyone says anything I am 42 not a teeny bopper I do happen to like her music and her movies and show. The show is cute and her music is very good and you can hear how her music has progressed from the start. So please get a life and grow up and stop harrassing her for crying out loud.

@coopster......i supported the supposedly near nude photo's of Miley because the Photog is an artist in her own rights. And those pictures were art. The crap they started about her and her Dad's pics were just that....people are jealous of others because they couldnt have that kind of relationship with their own Father.
But, while i agree with you about this new Trashy Miley, my daughter who will be 14 in a couple of months, took down all her posters and gave her cds away because of a blog entry Miley made on someone else's blog. My daughter is a Believer and has a great mind of her own. She told me about this new image Miley has going on...and told me that in one of the new songs she sings she tells someone to go to hell. Where is the Christian in that?
And as far as her dad is concerned? Well, i dont think he needs her money any more than she needs his.....nor does her mom.
Even her sibs are making money.....so she wont have to put up with a brother like my husband has....lol.

not to worry, she is following in the footsteps of Britney, now that is something to brag about, wonder how long it will be before she is knocked up and her career is in the toilet, and with her misfit dad, probably sooner than later.

I don't see nothing wrong with her new song/ album or look; she is breaking out to be her own person and she is finding her own identity; Of course Billy Ray may frown on a few things but I am sure as her father he does keep things in perspective for his daughter as would any man would do. And her mother is a strong person as well. I am sure they have some disagreements over things what she is wearing but in the end we see what they all agree on; I am sure even Miley doesn't want to tarnish her families name or Billy's reputation. She looks great to me. And I am sure she is doing her best to keep setting a good example for others. Even if she did kiss another girl on stage twice already.

Just one more comment. I would rather listen to Miley's music than to listen to Lady Gaga's....Just my opinion. Lady Gaga is alright. some of her videos aree a bit far out there and strange. And she cannot dance at all. She needs more artist in her videos to help with the sales because she cannot last much longer. The public will grow tired of her real quick and her newest video reminded me of Janet Jackson as they start off with the marching. How many times have we seen that a new artist mimicing an icon. For Godsakes, stick with your own moves.

Maybe parents should revisit wanting to have their children become "stars" via the Disney Channel as it would appear many go to the extreme to possibly break away from the "squeaky-clean" image that made them who they are. Also when the have such a large following for the time in which they do, children will still follow and sadly enough, be influenced by them. Regarding the photo, it's not a shocking photo only because we've seen worse and have become numb with what Hollyweird and society does to "get attention".

Miley looks and talks like a young hooker with a big hangover. Insecure about the talent God gave her, this is what she feels she needs to do to succeed to pay for the 4.5 million dollar house she bought, admitting she won't even have anything in the refrigerator. Where is the role model for young girls???. Obviously, there is no parenting going on. No morals. She's is a great example of what society likes in this day and age...Kendra, The Kardashians, Pretty Wild, The Housewives... and on and on. . Taylor Swift is a great class act. Someone everyone should look up to.

who was the idiot that advised her to buy a 4.5 million $ house. It shows me that she does not know what she is doing and further does not understand the upkeep on a house like that. If things go sour for even a short while she will loose the house first and everything else will follow. If she keeps getting advise like that she will not last very long. Just because she has on a wig, leathers and a little skin showing does not make her a sex goddess, only a step above trailer trash. If the music industry does not make money on her right away she will be finnished, just like her looser father.
