17 Photos Of Miley Cyrus That Look Nothing Like Her Current, Twerking Self
As difficult as it is to remember in the midst of her current less-is-more style and utterly confounding ensembles, Miley Cyrus wasn't always the attention-seeking star she is today. In fact, Miley Cyrus was once indistinguishable from her Disney-approved alter ago, Hannah Montana. Cyrus wore clothes befitting an early aughts teen, smiled for the camera instead of displaying her tongue, and *gasp* danced without twerking. Read on for 17 times Miley Cyrus looked nothing like the glitter-covered, pastie-wearing, boundary-pushing dame she is today.
