Miley Cyrus actively courted controversy for years after her tenure as a Disney Channel darling. The singer shed her wholesome Hannah Montana image with divisive performances and costumes before settling into her current Younger Now era. On Sunday, Cyrus posted a series of throwback pictures, including one that resurfaced a decade-old scandal. Cyrus, who was 15 at the time, stood by the shot taken by famed photographer Annie Lebowitz in its accompanying Vanity Fair interview.

In a Vanity Fair photo shoot , Miley Cyrus, who was then years-old, posed partly naked, with most of her body covered by a big blanket. They wore black tank tops and jeans. The singer continued, "The pictures of me on the internet were silly, inappropriate shots. I appreciate all the support of my fans, and hope they understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect.

The singer, 27, stripped naked in her latest music video for her new hit Midnight Sky, in which she was surrounded by an eye-popping background of sweets. Miley Cyrus has released a defiant singles anthem following her shock split from Cody Simpson. The song came shortly after Miley and Cody, 23, called it quits after just less than a year of dating, following her divorce from husband Liam Hemsworth and fling with Kaitlynn Carter. The raunchy music video sees Miley ditch her clothes as she lay surrounded by colourful sweets while she covered her modesty.

Oh, my, my, Miley. Leave it to Miley Cyrus to have fans absolutely speechless the second she stepped on the Video Music Awards red carpet. She left nothing to the imagination in a sheer black gown and matching gloves. Can we just stop everything and talk about her?
