Miley Cyrus has had a mix of fun, stylish, and, well, interesting stage looks over the years. From her first tour as Hannah Montana in 2006 to present day, we’re taking a look back at her most fashionable, extra, and wild ensembles of all time. A little sneak peek? There are capri leggings (#TBT), her signature cowboy boots, and plenty of other statement ’fits that show her performance costume evolution. Here, 55 of Miley’s best stage looks ever. Spoiler alert: There are LOTS of rhinestones ahead.

2007: Best of Both Worlds Tour
Here she was ~dramatically~ performing to promote the double-disc album Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus, which includes the soundtrack to Hannah Montana’s second season and Miley’s debut album. She paired a glittery purple top with a black-and-white geometric skirt. Oh, and you definitely can’t forget the striped knee-highs.

This outfit looks like it was inspired by Barbie because there’s So. Much. Pink. The singer ditched her signature Hannah wig and wore a bomber jacket, a pleated plaid skirt, and those striped knee-highs again for a pop star ensemble. Also, now I want a strawberry necklace?!

Not a tour but definitely a turning point starring a latex bra and underwear. Raise your manicured foam finger if you remember the Bangerz days.
