   Miley Cyrus on the red carpet at the MTV European Music Awards 2013

Miley Cyrus thinks that stylists suck, so she always travels with her own jewels, makeup products and clothes, and decides for herself what to wear when out in public. Miley also describes her style as “white trash meets Chanel,” so we probably shouldn’t be that surprised of the dress she chose for the MTV European Music Awards 2013.

The pop star was in Amsterdam for the EMAs 2013, where she won Best Video and also performed twice, and, of course, she couldn’t skip on the red carpet ceremony.

As a rule, any MTV award isn’t as much about fashion as it is about the shock factor. Katy Perry, for instance, shocked this year by going for demure instead of outrageous, but Miley was consistent with her previous appearances.

While being as outrageous as usual, she also sent a peaceful message, even though fans of the celebrities whose image she used might not be ok with the manner in which said peaceful message was delivered. The two photos attached to this article should clear whatever confusion you might still have about it.

So Miley showed up in the tiniest dress imaginable, which wasn’t just very short but also completely backless. The dress, a NY Vintage graphic printed creation, included photos of Tupac and Biggie, rap’s biggest foes, with the message “Please Stop the Violence.”

The fact that Miley would pick a public event to send out such a positive message is commendable, but it feels tacky to see Biggie and Tupac’s heads / faces on her cheeks. Of course, this could be just a coincidence, but it does cheapen the “message,” does it not? Check out the second picture to see for yourself.

Miley’s boots were Tom Ford peep-toes, and they clashed with the dress in more ways we can count. The jewels were all Miley’s, because she’d worn before all the pieces she had on.

Either way, though revealing, Miley did keep herself (mostly) covered, which is not the same we can say for her “Wrecking Ball” performance during the awards ceremony, when she donned a ridiculously small and see-through leotard.
