Miley Cyrus is the Most Famous Teenager in the Universe

Miley Cyrus's real name is Destiny Hope Cyrus, but her parents famously changed it to 'Miley' because she smiled a lot as a child. Get it? Smiley - "S" = Miley. Anyway, Miley Cyrus is a singer, actress, and songwriter, but she didn't officially reach teen phenom status until the start of her hit show Hannah Montana. In the show, she plays a teenager creatively named Miley Stewart, who lives a double life as a superstar pop singer named Hannah Montana. It's a bit contrived, but hey, Disney tweens aren't exactly an astute bunch.

However, I suppose Miley deserves a little bit of credit for her acting chops because she's guest starred on her father's (that's Billy Ray Cyrus just in case you're living on the moon) TV series Doc, and she played Ruthie in Tim Burton's Big Fish. But thanks to her role on Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus has been firmly established as a powerhouse in the pop industry. She's released two albums (Hannah Montana and Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus), and her Best of Both Worlds tour with the Jonas Brothers was so popular, a ticket could've easily set you back thousands of dollars!

Miley and her family are such good role models that it's hard not to be happy for all of their success. The "good girl" image that has made Miley rich also transcends into her fashion. She's very well dressed, but she doesn't try to look like an exotic dancer on the red carpet like Paris Hilton.

For example, check her out in a white Dorothy Perkins top, darkwash skinny jeans, and a pair of suede Uggs.

Here she is imitating one of the Olsen twins with an eclectic mixture of patterns and colors all worn at once with a pair of Azzedine Alaia gladiator sandals.

Despite the fact that she's only 15 years old, Miley Cyrus has become an expert at the art of getting glamorous for a swanky event and making herself look waaaayyy older than she really is. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Anyway, she absolutely dazzled at the 2008 Oscars in a red Valentino gown, Neil Lane jewelry, and a clutch by Mary Norton.

...And again at the 2008 Grammys in a vintage-looking white dress by Celine and shoes by Sergio Rossi.
