Miley Cyrus has finally revealed the truth behind that gold dress from her ‘Flowers’ music video, following plenty of fan speculation about its deeper meaning.
While it’s not a stretch to believe that the hit song was written about Cyrus’ ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, who she divorced in 2020 following over a decade together, fans think the singer dropped a few pointed clues upon the song’s release.
Most notably, the track’s music video, which has amassed over a billion views since its release in 2023, shows the singer in a vintage gold lamé Saint Laurent gown. With an oversized hood and an ab-bearing cutout, the sparkling number is a show-stopper. However, netizens have speculated about the reference ever since.
At the time, viewers instantly began to draw similarities between Cyrus’ gown and one worn by Jennifer Lawrence at the 2012 premiere of The Hunger Games. The Prabal Gurung gown was also gold lamé and featured side cut-outs. Amidst cheating rumours, fans wondered if the former Disney star’s gown was a reference to her ex-husband’s co-star.
It seems that those rumours can finally be laid to rest, as while signing autographs outside of Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week, a fan asked the singer, “Was your flowers dress a reference to Jennifer Lawrence?”
“No, but I love that dress of hers,” the musician cheerfully responded.
In an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in 2023, Lawrence also gave her thoughts on the matter, telling the audience, “I assume that was, like, a coincidence.”
The actress also cleared the air regarding cheating rumours, stating, “[They’re] not true, total rumour.”
“I mean, we all know me and Liam, like, kissed one time,” she added, referencing the pair’s on-screen kiss in Mockingjay Part 1. “It was years after they’d broken up.”
With the matter cleared, this chapter may now be closed.
Currently, Cyrus is dating musician Maxx Morando, and Hemsworth is dating model/actress Gabriella Brooks. Meanwhile, Lawrence shares two children with husband Cooke Maroney.
