Miley Cyrus risks more than a wardrobe malfunction for very daring photoshoot in NYC
The Flowers hitmaker, 32 - whose father Billy Ray recently confirmed his new romance with actress Elizabeth Hurley - put on an edgy display as she shot scenes on a rooftop and scaffolding in the Big Apple.
The daring shoot saw her pose upon tall scaffolding placed against a building.
The Grammy winner wowed wearing a black top which was tucked into the waist of a black leather miniskirt.
Cyrus additionally slipped into a pair of crocodile-embossed, heeled boots and layered the look with an oversized, leather jacket.
The star's locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.
Miley's photo shoot took her to impressive heights
Miley's makeup was glammed up for the busy day of filming and comprised of a layer of mascara to her lashes as well as a smoky shadow around her eyes.
A warm blush was added to her cheekbones for a radiant glow while a nude-colored tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch.
The singer opted for minimal accessories to allow the outfit to be the main focal point, and donned a pair of small hooped earrings.
Cyrus is no stranger to Maybelline - and wore makeup from the brand a few months earlier when she attended the 2025 Grammy Awards in February.
The performer added the Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation and Instant Age Rewind Concealer to her look for the event. She also opted for blush and mascara from Maybelline.
Makeup artist James Kaliardos told Elle at the time, 'Miley is the brainstorm. We work together to create her makeup look every time.
'I always want Miley to feel like she is in her own skin, I want her to recognize, in the mirror, a version of herself she wants to be.'
The former Disney channel star also opened up about what beauty means to her during a a past interview with to Harper's Bazaar.
'My physical appearance is always an extension of my creativity. I am very literal when it comes to externally representing the "era."'

At one point, the star made a risky move as she stepped onto tall scaffolding and switched into a pair of different black ankle boots
Cyrus continued, 'On my days off I am usually in all black; there is something classic [about it] – you could find a girl from each generation I've admired wearing something similar.
'I like that it's mysterious and doesn't draw too much attention to me. Then, when I am on stage, I use color and fabric to enhance the emotion of the music.'
Miley was seen filming multiple scenes throughout New York City on Wednesday, such as in Queens and Long Island.
At one point, the star made a risky move as she stepped onto tall scaffolding and switched into a pair of different black ankle boots.
She was spotted climbing steps of the scaffolding and paused for a scene as the wind blew through her hair.
Cyrus later made her way onto a rooftop of another building as the afternoon sun shone down on her.
The Wrecking Ball songstress lowered her jacket off her shoulders which draped down towards her elbows as she was surrounded by a camera and crew.
The star is preparing for the release of her upcoming ninth studio album titled Something Beautiful on May 30.

Earlier this month, she dropped the tracks Prelude and Something Beautiful that are also from the LP along with accompanying music videos.
Something Beautiful will contain a total of 13 tracks and follows her 2023 album titled Endless Summer Vacation.
Also on Wednesday, Miley flashed a cheerful smile and greeted fans after she wrapped filming on the Maybelline commercial.
She changed into a halter-styled black dress that clung to her frame and contained a thigh-high slit on the left side.
The star slipped into a pair of sheer black tights as well as closed-toed black heels while strolling down a crowded sidewalk.
It comes just days after her father Billy Ray Cyrus confirmed his shock new romance with Elizabeth Hurley over the past weekend on Easter Sunday.
The pair cozied up together in an Instagram snap as they stood outside next to a wooden fence. The actress held a big grin on her face as the Achy Breaky Heart singer kissed her cheek.
An insider alleged to New Idea after the relationship came to light that Miley was not aware of her father's romance with Elizabeth.

'Of course Miley didn't know,' the source informed the outlet. 'She stays away from her dad as much as possible.
'She won't be happy about this. She's about to launch an album and a movie and this is going to overshadow it all!'
Last month in March, a source told DailyMail.com that Miley is worried her father Billy could ruin her music comeback.
Billy - who is on rocky terms with some of his children including Miley and son Trace, 36 - had recently uploaded a gushing tribute on social media to both the actress as well as his other daughter Noah, 25.
The insider stated, 'Miley doesn't want the family feud drama overshadowing her music career, especially right now as she gears up for a new era.
'It feels like Billy is making this all about him while Miley has made it quite clear she wants to focus on her music and not have their family drama be part of the conversation.'
Miley notably did not include her father in her speech last year when she accepted her first Grammy, which she won for Best Pop Solo Performance for her song Flowers.
In addition to Miley, Noah, and Trace, Billy shares son Braison, 30, and daughter Brandi, 37, with ex-wife Tish Cyrus, 57. He also has a 32-year-old son named Christopher, whom he shares with Kristin Luckey.
The British-born star was previously engaged to Shane Warne but the pair went their separate ways in 2013.
And Billy's most relationship had been with ex-wife Firerose. The former couple said 'I do' in 2023 but their divorce was finalized the following year.

Scottish Open not just about golf as KT Tunstall and Irvine Welsh star in Fringe by the Tee
Top Scottish acts offer fans off-course highlights at golf Music star KT Tunstall and Irvine Welsh are set to ensure it's not all about just golf at the Genesis Scottish Open. Tournament organisers are ensuring a huge week off-course as well as on it with a raft of experiences planned for the four days in East Lothian. In the Fan Zone, the highlight will be the return of Fringe by the Tee, a collaboration with the local Fringe by the Sea festival. Tunstall, the Grammy-nominated, Brit Award-winning artist, is playing a set on Saturday night just 24 hours after author-turned DJ Welsh cranks up the tunes. As well as music, the Fringe by the Tee pop-up stage will offer something for everyone, including comedian Fred MacAulay, who will host daily entertainment daily slots. Families can catch the always-popular Alexander the Great, an award-winning entertainer delivering circus skills, party games, disco dancing, and plenty of magic for the kids. Other highlights of the Fan Zone include Mini Golf and Long Putt experiences, raising money for The Renaissance Club Foundation, while fans can also buy a limited edition tartan range from worn by ambassadors such as Viktor Hovland and Mathieu Pavon, and gain access to the J.L Clubhouse hospitality facility on the Sixth Hole by spending £100 or more in the Merchandise Store. Fringe By The Tee Festival Director Rory Steel explained: 'We run Fringe By The Sea in North Berwick in August just down the road from where the golf takes place and, a couple of years back, we were asked to come down and have a look and it was an absolutely amazing opportunity to really help with the growth of what is an amazing event. 'We went away and had a good long think about who it is that are coming to the golf and how we can expand it beyond the core enthusiast, especially to the families who might not have a fleeting interest in the game itself. 'There are so many great things. Whether it is the Stephen Gallacher Foundation for ace pro tips, to the crazy golf course raising funds for Leuchie House, to the main stage where we can bring to life the fan zone with bands, DJs, comedy, kids shows and a whole golf bag full of fun. 'It's not just what is happening on the course, the track or the field at major sporting occasions now, it's what happens off the field, too. People are spending a not-insignificant sum to come along and, yes, the sport is the key to it all, but so is making sure there is something for everyone. ' Irvine Welsh doing a DJ set will be ace for Friday night's crowd followed by KT Tunstall for Saturday and having Scottish legends like that at the Genesis Scottish Open is all part of the appeal. They buy into it, too. They are invested and it shows how the event has grown in popularity and is going from strength to strength on and off the course.'

The plant that will brighten any garden — and is edible too
Nasturtiums are one of those plants that we take for granted. We depend on them to brighten up a so-so corner, and they do. We want them to be forever cheerful and they are. They are the go-to choice for companion planting, such is their appeal to pests. Kids love them too. They do all these jobs without complaint, an everyman (and woman) plant, but one that is very rarely the star of the show. We can change that, though. They are certainly one of the stars of the exhibition Cecil Beaton's Garden Party at the Garden Museum in London. This is a celebration of Beaton's lifelong love of flowers and, right smack in the middle of it, is a painting by him of his garden in 1960. It is entitled Cutting Garden Flowers and is dominated by nasturtiums and morning glories. Neither are traditional cut flowers, but Beaton and his collaborator Constance Spry loved them for their colours and used them often in their spectacular arrangements. • Read more wildlife & nature stories The painting, purchased by the museum a few years ago, was one of the inspirations for the show itself, as well as its Cook with the Seasons programme which, this summer, features nasturtiums. Ceri Jones is a chef and the creator of the course. While I have often used nasturtium flowers in salads, her sample menu is far more impressive. There are nasturtiums with glazed beetroot and whipped ricotta and a salad with tomato and olive. There is also a nasturtium leaf pesto pasta salad. Finally, there is pressed flower shortbread. Nasturtiums don't seem quite so humdrum now, do they? 'You can eat all parts of the plant — leaves, flowers, pods,' Jones says. She compares the peppery taste to watercress. 'There is no bitterness. The flowers are almost sweet.' You can use the flowers and leaves, picked, in salads and as garnish. The small round seedpods can be transformed (when young and semi-ripe) into what is called a poor man's caper. You'd think that with all that going for it (as well as being high in vitamin C), nasturtiums would be grown as a crop, like rocket or cress. The reason they aren't, Jones thinks, is that they attract so many pests. Of course, veg gardeners love them for this very trait. Nasties, as I sometimes call them, though the name doesn't fit at all, attract all kinds of aphids (including blackfly, greenfly and whitefly), flea beetles and cabbage white butterflies. They can be planted as a 'trap crop' to lure them from others. As a bonus, 'good' insects such as ladybugs and hoverflies love them. • The natural plant dye found in Tutankhamun's tomb Jones also loves them because she can grow them on her small (3m x 1m) fifth-floor balcony, which is northeast facing. Forage on the balcony? Yes, please. In addition to being tasty, they also brighten up one of her balcony corners with their orange and red flowers and rounded leaves. Another plus is that these plants aren't too fussed about what soil they grow in and are well suited to containers. Nasturtiums, native to South America, are usually annuals and known for being enthusiastic self-seeders. The most popular types are climbers (Tropaeolum majus) and bush or dwarf (T. minus). Colours include creams, oranges, reds, variegated and burgundies. The RHS notes that there are also some fancier ones, including a few perennials, as well as unusual colours such as sky blue (T. azureum). But back to the kitchen, where Jones is whipping up some nasturtium pesto. 'They turn every dish into a work of art,' she says. Stardom, at last. Ingredients • 50g pine nuts• 1 large handful of nasturtium leaves, approx 50g• 1 plump garlic clove, finely chopped• 120-150ml extra virgin olive oil• Zest and juice of 1 lemon• Sea salt Method 1. Toast the nuts in a dry hot frying pan until lightly browned all over. Transfer to a food processor with the garlic and blitz briefly until roughly broken down. Add the washed nasturtium leaves and blitz again briefly, then with the motor still running pour in 120ml olive oil and blend till the leaves have all broken down. 2. Add the lemon zest, juice and a big pinch of salt and blitz again to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding a touch more oil if necessary Serving suggestion On bread with a generous layer of ricotta, topped with a slice or two of tomato and the pesto drizzled over. Garnish with a washed nasturtium flower.

LL Cool J and Jazmine Sullivan back out of Philadelphia July Fourth festival in solidarity with local union
Hip-hop legend LL Cool J announced that he was pulling out of a Fourth of July festival in Philadelphia in support of municipal workers' ongoing strike in the city. 'There's absolutely no way that I could perform, cross a picket line and pick up money when I know that people are out there fighting for a living wage,' he said Thursday in a video posted on X. He made the announcement the night before the Wawa Welcome America Festival, Philadelphia's annual July Fourth celebration. LL Cool J was set to headline the festival along with Grammy-winning singer Jazmine Sullivan. He continued by saying he hoped 'the city can make a deal' and that he plans to be in Philadelphia 'in case it works out.' The union, District Council 33 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, began its strike at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday morning after no new agreement for a higher-paying contract was reached. Union members are responsible for essential public services, such as 911 dispatch and sanitation. The union responded to LL Cool J on social media, saying it was encouraging to see him use his influence 'to champion causes that matter to everyday people.' 'LL Cool J's decision to stand in solidarity with the labor movement by choosing not to cross a picket line is a powerful testament to his respect for workers' rights,' the union said in a statement. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker said she was aware of LL Cool J's decision to not perform and she had 'spoke personally' with him. 'I respect his decision, and understand his desire to see the city unified. He is always welcome in Philadelphia,' she said in a statement. Hours before she was set to perform, Sullivan also announced she was backing out of the festival in solidarity with the union. 'Today I choose to not perform at the Wawa Welcome America concert and stand with Philly's DC33 until the city and union find a way to bring fair living wages to our working class,' Sullivan wrote on Instagram. Parker confirmed that Sullivan had also decided not to perform, saying, 'I respect Jazmine's decision, and understand her desire to see our City unified,' adding: 'Jazmine, your hometown loves you!' Greg Boulware, the union president, said he was 'profoundly humbled' by Sullivan's decision to back out of her performance. 'It's truly refreshing to witness a celebrity of her stature and a native Philadelphian recognizing and valuing the tireless dedication of municipal workers,' he said in a statement. Wawa Welcome America is one of the nation's largest July Fourth celebrations. A representative for the festival did not immediately respond to a request for comment. On July 1 — after the city of Philadelphia was granted three injunctions — a judge ordered some union members to return to work. In response, the union encouraged affected members to 'comply with this directive immediately to avoid any legal consequences.'
