The singer and actress, 28, is known for being something of a sartorial rulebreaker, making headlines in recent years for her outlandish ensembles at awards ceremonies and glitzy bashes.

Here, we take a look at how the singer's style has evolved throughout her time in the spotlight. Scroll through the gallery above to see more images of Miley Cyrus through the years.
