Miley Cyrus had a night to remember at the GRAMMY Awards, walking away with her very first win and turning heads with a bold fashion statement that had fans talking.
The 31-year-old singer, known for her evolution from Disney’s Hannah Montana to an international pop star, beat out major names like Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and SZA to claim Record of the Year for her smash hit Flowers. The chart-topping anthem, widely speculated to be about her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, also earned her Best Pop Solo Performance—making it a double-win night for the artist.

But it wasn’t just her victories or her performance of the hit song that had the internet buzzing—it was her jaw-dropping red carpet look and the mystery surrounding her security detail that had social media in overdrive.
A Red Carpet Look That Stole the Show
Miley arrived in a daring gold beaded gown made entirely of safety pins, a striking custom design by John Galliano for Maison Margiela. The shimmering, barely-there ensemble was paired with sky-high platform heels and a voluminous, ’80s-inspired hairstyle that channeled rockstar glamour.

Another added, “Miley Cyrus rocking the 80s gym teacher hair with the Princess Leia vibe—only she can pull this off.”

A video circulating online shows Miley walking the red carpet accompanied by a bodyguard holding a large black umbrella—despite no visible rain at the event. What really caught people’s attention was the way he gripped it, with his index finger extended flat along the top.
The internet wasted no time speculating, with some social media users suggesting the umbrella was actually a concealed weapon.
“That’s not just an umbrella—it’s a hidden firearm. Oldest trick in the book,” one person said.
Another speculated, “Bulletproof shield or concealed assault weapon? Something isn’t right here.”

Others dismissed the theories, noting that California had been experiencing heavy rain in recent days.
“It was supposed to rain, so why is this even a discussion?” one user questioned.
Regardless of the speculation, one thing is certain—Miley Cyrus owned the night, proving once again that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
