The talented artist traded in her bellbottoms and sneakers for mesh dresses and crop tops -- and her look has gotten increasingly edgier, especially as she was gearing up for the highly anticipated release of her new album, Bangerz. Now it seems like Miley Cyrus wants to make sure no one ever confuses her with Hannah Montana ever again -- and judging by her new edgy look we're sure the message is crystal clear! While we're all about the way she fearlessly displays her brand new look, it's still so much fun to take a look back and track her remarkable evolution from the Disney darling to twerking queen.

Miley Cyrus Before And After ‘Hannah Montana’:

At the young age of 13, Miley looked adorable in a slew of stylish looks — but it was in her late teens when she really became one to watch on the red carpet. From plunging necklines to backless frocks, she has shown off a slew of gorgeous looks on the red carpet from the likes of major designers, like Jenny Packham. I especially loved the looks she showed off when she was dating her former fiancé, Liam Hemsworth. While they had a grown up vibe to them they will still so effortlessly pretty and Miley really stole the spotlight on the red carpet — who knew she had an even bigger transformation in the works!

Miley’s major haircut and dye job totally triggered the major turning point with her new look. She was working on her new, grown-up album and was clearly ready for a change — so she boldly went for it! While some may say it isn’t their favorite look, it certainly caught everyone’s attention — in fact we even saw a slew of celebs start chopping off their hair after they saw Miley’s!

With her new ‘do came a whole new Miley. Denim short-shorts and crop tops became staples in her wardrobe, as did a slew of scandalous looks. These days nothing she wears shocks us — from her nude latex at the VMAs to her mesh dress and pasties, she’s just being Miley! It also isn’t surprising to see the star step out in just a bra.

Love it or hate it, the star is growing up and taking fashion risks, and we think it’s so cool that she’s comfortable in her own skin. Miley is beating to her own drum, both on and off the red carpet — and we love it.

What do you think of Miley’s style evolution? Are you a fan of her new look or do you think she’s trying too hard?
