Point 4 - Star Image Research (Miley Cyrus)

I am going to do my star image research on Miley Cyrus, who at the age of 21 has already grasped many phases throughout her career. She began her career as an actress in a hit musical TV show 'Hannah Montana' which also starred her hit country music star Father, Billy Ray Cyrus. After six successful years of Hannah Montana, Miley starred in the hit Romance Film 'The Last Song', which featured her song 'When I look at you'. Miley's co-star, Liam Hemsworth fell madly in love with Miley after making this film and they later became engaged. After a few months of engagement, Miley began to change her image almost completely. She cut all her hair off and began her 'Bangerz' tour. Unfortunately as her change was happening, her and Liam broke up. But this didn't stop Miley, if anything encouraged her new star image further.

 Here are some pictures of Miley throughout her career:

   

Here she is at the beginning of her career as Hannah Montana.

 

Here she is playing the role of 'Ronny' in 'The Last Song' , with co-star Liam Hemsworth.

 

Here is the couple walking the red carpet together, before Miley decided on her new image.

 

Here is Miley after cutting her hair off completely - this was a drastic change for her however for the first few months gained a good amount of publicity for herself and her career. Unfortunately it was around this time Liam broke off the engagement. Her song 'Wrecking Ball' was about her break up with Liam, which featured her swinging naked on a wrecking ball in the music video.

 

Miley's new star image, as you can see is much more revealing and has a huge contrast to how she was before - during her Hannah Montana stage.
