I will defend Miley Cyrus' right to wear whatever she likes
until the end of my days. The two piece costume she donned on Sunday was
essentially no different to the beige set Lady Gaga wore in a great deal of the
video to Alejandro (or, in fact, the underwear Gaga ended up in at the VMAs at
the end of her performance), and I don't think simply vilifying her for that is
useful or constructive; a topic which this blog covered very nicely a few days
ago. The entire performance was problematic in so many different ways that
simply plucking out her clothes and designating them the root of all evil – but
only commenting on that, too, without considering the wider issues – is a bit
reductive.
