Miley Cyrus’ Comment on Flowers Dress & Jennifer Lawrence Connection Explained

Miley Cyrus is setting the record straight about the rumors surrounding her Flowers dress. Since the video’s release, fans have speculated that the gold dress she wore was a subtle reference to Jennifer Lawrence. Now, Cyrus has directly addressed these claims.

Here’s what she said.

Miley Cyrus denies rumors about the Flowers dress and Jennifer Lawrence

Miley Cyrus is speaking out to end the widespread speculation surrounding her Flowers music video. She specifically addressed claims that her golden dress was meant as a subtle jab at Jennifer Lawrence. While signing autographs outside Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a fan asked her a direct question. They asked whether the dress was meant to reference Lawrence. Cyrus responded clearly, “No, but I love that dress of hers.” Still, some remained unconvinced, continuing to speculate online.

When Cyrus released the music video for her hit song Flowers in 2023, fans were quick to search for hidden meanings, especially since it dropped on Liam Hemsworth’s birthday. Among the most persistent theories was the gold lamé dress that she wore in the video. Viewers compared Cyrus’s Saint Laurent gown to the gold Prabal Gurung dress worn by Lawrence at The Hunger Games premiere in 2012, where she appeared alongside Hemsworth. Because of rumors of an alleged off-screen affair between Hemsworth and Lawrence, fans speculated that the Flowers’ dress was a deliberate choice. However, Cyrus has now set the record straight.

Lawrence also addressed the affairs rumors during a 2023 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. While playing a game of “Plead the Fifth,” Cohen asked her if the music video was hinting at a secret relationship with Hemsworth. Lawrence firmly denied the claim, calling it “not true, total rumor.” She did admit that the two had kissed once, but clarified that it happened years after he and Cyrus had broken up.

Cyrus and Hemsworth’s history dates back to 2009, when they met filming The Last Song. They were engaged in 2012, called it off in 2013, and reunited in 2016 before marrying in 2018. Less than a year later, they separated, and their divorce was finalized in 2020.
