Matching Looks on the Red Carpet
Miley Cyrus demonstrated once again her cinematic flair as she attended the Palm Springs International Film Festival Film Awards with her mother, Tish Cyrus. The pair turned heads in their matching sleek black suits.
Following the impressive opening weekend of James Cameron’s latest blockbuster, Avatar: Fire and Ash, the 33-year-old singer brought her signature rock-star energy to the gala. She was honored with the Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award for her poignant end-credits ballad, ‘Dream As One’.
The event, held at the Palm Springs Convention Center on Saturday, January 3, 2026, attracted an A-list crowd of film royalty, fashion innovators, and rising stars. Actresses Kate Hudson and Amanda Seyfried were also among the award recipients.
Mother-Daughter Fashion Synergy
Joined by her 58-year-old mother, Miley and Tish presented a striking image in their nearly identical black suits. Miley’s sharply tailored suit featured a plunging neckline and subtle obsidian sparkle, blending Hollywood glamour with her distinctive edge. Her softly waved hair and smoky eye makeup added to the dramatic effect. Tish complemented her daughter’s look with a pared-back black blazer and trousers, accessorized with tinted aviator sunglasses.
The resemblance between the two was uncanny. From their long honey-blonde waves to their angular tailoring and confident stance, it was a rare red-carpet moment where genetics and styling aligned perfectly.
A History of Coordinated Style
Over the years, Miley and Tish have frequently stepped out in complementary outfits, whether in leather, denim, or sharply tailored suits. This dynamic feels less stage-managed and more genuinely reflective of their close relationship.
A Milestone in Miley’s Career
Beyond the fashion, the night marked another milestone in Miley’s evolving career. While she has long dominated the music charts, her recognition at a major film festival underscores her growing presence in the cinematic world. ‘Dream As One’ has been widely praised for adding emotional depth to Avatar: Fire and Ash, signaling a meaningful crossover moment for the singer-songwriter.
Miley previously spoke about how she had struck up a conversation with director James Cameron at the 2024 D23 Expo, where both were honored as Disney Legends. “I kind of throw it out there as I always do,” she recalled. “I already knew the answer to, ‘So what have you been up to?’ I know he’s been up to Avatar for a very long time.” When Miley mentioned she’d be keen to write music if the opportunity arose, the timing proved perfect. “It just kind of organically happened,” she said, adding that James jokingly refers to them as “Legends in law”.
