Miley Cyrus turned heads at the Beacon Theatre on June 6, stepping onto the red carpet in a sheer, beaded gown paired with strands of cream-colored accessories. She brought along the team that helped create her visual album Something Beautiful, including her mother, Tish. With a cheeky “Everybody say ‘dysfunctional!’” to the cameras, Cyrus set a playful tone. The event marked the premiere of the visual companion to her album, which was released May 30, and previewed a special one-day-only theater screening planned for June 12.
A Triumphant Festival Moment Fueled by Emotion, Personal History, and Artistic Vision
Cyrus stood out as the most prominent pop artist presenting a film at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. The venue was filled with devoted fans who enthusiastically sang along with the new songs. During the post-screening discussion, Cyrus addressed the crowd, sharing the intense emotional energy present in the room and leading a spontaneous performance of her 2009 hit “The Climb.” The atmosphere was both electric and reflective of Cyrus’ deep emotional connection to the music and visuals.
Miley Cyrus Stuns at Tribeca with Bold, Emotional Premiere of Something BeautifulDrawing inspiration from Pink Floyd’s The Wall, the Something Beautiful visual album is loosely structured around feeling rather than narrative. Cyrus revealed that the project was tied to special memories with her brother and was completed in just two weeks. The videos vary in tone and color, from the soft pastels of “Golden Burning Sun” to the moody tones of “Reborn.” The emphasis throughout is on raw emotion, visual experimentation, and artistic authenticity.
Bold Visuals, Glamorous Grit, and Empowered Duets Define the Film’s Standout Moments
Several videos emerged as highlights of the film. In “End of the World,” a shimmering pop track leads into an intimate close-up of Cyrus, her beaded headwear and sharp cheekbones becoming the visual focus. “Walk of Fame” brings a gritty glam aesthetic, featuring Cyrus in stilettos and glitter as she performs along the Hollywood sidewalk. The late-night shoot, done without a cleanup crew, resulted in a real-life infection for Cyrus — an anecdote she shared with humor during the event.
In “Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved,” Cyrus performs with intense focus, accompanied by sharp choreography and a driving beat. The visual takes on added strength with the appearance of Naomi Campbell, who joins Cyrus in a fierce duet. Wearing black bodices and fishnets, the two exchange bold stares and end the clip arm-in-arm, laughing together. This moment of solidarity and strength showcases the recurring themes of empowerment and emotional truth that define Something Beautiful.
