Still, not every viewer was ready to embrace the edgy aesthetic. One unimpressed critic shot back, “This is not pretty!” Whether loved or loathed, the daring shoot left no one indifferent — a testament to Cyrus’s fearless approach to fashion and her refusal to be boxed in.
The striking CR Fashion Book shoot was not Cyrus’s first brush with controversy this year, as another recent photoshoot also sparked a flood of reactions online.
The star sparked another media frenzy on August 4, 2025, when The Perfect Magazine released an entire 80-page issue dedicated solely to her.
The cover? Cyrus was topless.
In the black-and-white image, shot by Paolo Roversi and Lynette Garland, Cyrus stared down the camera with haunting intensity. Her wild curls framed her face as one dainty hand rested over her chest.
Her toned torso, tattoos, and bare skin took center stage in a photo that some saw as artistic defiance — and others viewed as yet another attempt to grab attention.
Fans and critics swarmed the post with reactions ranging from celebratory to downright uncomfortable. “SHE’S COMPLETELY NAKED BUT SHE’S MAKIN IT FASHION [sic]!!!!!!!“ one fan raved. Another echoed the sentiment, “And she said ‘I’m completely naked, but I’m makin’ it fashion [sic].”
But not everyone was clapping.
One commenter challenged the trend directly, “Why do celebrities need to be naked tho? Can we respect women AND have them clothed [sic]?”
Another took a more somber tone, writing, “Oh my goodness, are we back at the nakedness again… I was so ready for her to shed all of that and focus on her talent… And be taken seriously… Sorry guys I’m just not as impressed as you are [sic].”
