Miley's More Normcore Than You Think

Her current take on what's considered fashion might not be everyone's cup of tea, but there have been several times when Miley Cyrus dressed normcore and totally nailed it. While the pop star's wild and crazy outfits at the 2015 VMAs ranged from space age suspenders, to a red lip skirt, to a rainbow flag dress, some of her everyday getups are less costume-y and more Contempo Casuals (RIP). Cyrus' normcore wardrobe over the years includes basic, wearable clothing items that don't necessarily make a fashion statement, but still reflect her confident and unique personal style.

If you've ever scrolled through Cyrus' Instagram photos, you will find yourself in a dizzying world full of candy coated, nipple-freeing, pizza-craving images. Lots of pizza. But somewhere between these and pictures where Cyrus has Photoshopped her face on other celebrities, there are also plenty of pictures thrown in of the "Dooo It!" singer wearing ordinary clothes that billions of people wear. Wearing comfy t-shirts and jeans, classic Chuck Taylors, and even grungy flannel, Cyrus is definitely more normcore than most people give her credit for. In a candid interview in Marie Claire 's September issue, Cyrus talked about the power of being normal over striving for perfection.

"When you look at retouched, perfect photos, you feel like shit," she said. "They lighten black girls' skin. They smooth out wrinkles. Even when I get stuck on Instagram wondering, Why don't I look like that? It's a total bummer. It's crazy what people have decided we're all supposed to be."
