Miley Cyrus, 33, has unveiled a striking set of images for Wonderland magazine’s summer 2026 issue and used the accompanying interview to outline the emotional terrain of her next record.
Striking cover images
The photos present the singer in a range of daring styles. In one frame she adopts a clean, pared-back look — wearing only a Tiffany & Co. necklace and letting her blonde curls fall loose. In another, Cyrus layers high-fashion pieces: an oversized satin coat from Saint Laurent worn without a shirt, a leather jacket that reveals her tattoos, and a one-shoulder ruffle top that hints at more skin beneath the fabric.
- Saint Laurent satin coat — shirtless, arm crossed across chest
- Leather jacket — showcasing tattoos and attitude
- Tiffany & Co. necklace — near-nude, minimalist styling
On love and the new album
Alongside the shoot, Cyrus sat down with actress Daryl Hannah for a wide-ranging conversation about creativity and relationships. She framed the forthcoming album as an exploration of love in its many dimensions, insisting that the record is both personal and reflective of different eras in her life.
“They’re always layered. There is definitely a romantic thread weaving through it because, like all my records, it’s a reflection of where I am in my life,”
She described the project as balancing the intimacy of romantic love with the evolving relationship one has with the self. Cyrus argued that changes in self-regard ripple outward: when your relationship with yourself shifts, so do the connections you form with others. The interview positions the new record as a continuation of her artistic arc rather than a complete reinvention.
Context and legacy
The photos and remarks arrive after a career that has frequently courted controversy and reinvention. The piece recalls one of her most talked-about moments — the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance in which she performed alongside Robin Thicke — as an early example of Cyrus’s inclination to provoke and challenge expectations.
Her previous album, Something Beautiful, was released in May 2025. The Wonderland feature suggests the new project will expand on themes she has explored in recent work: identity, romantic entanglement and self-discovery.

As an artist who has repeatedly reshaped her image and sound, Cyrus’s latest visual and verbal statements will be parsed for clues about the musical direction she intends to pursue. The Wonderland shoot underlines her continuing comfort with provocative imagery while the interview promises a record rooted in emotional complexity rather than single-note declarations.
