Pop star Miley Cyrus could buy herself flowers and dresses. The hooded, gold dress the 33-year-old wore in the 2023 music video for her song “Flowers” recently resurfaced after a fan asked her whether the garment was a pointed dig at Jennifer Lawrence, as has long been speculated by fans via E! Online.
“No,” Miley said in the May 27 TikTok, “but I love that dress of hers.”
For those who may not be aware, there were rumors that Miley Cyrus’s ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, had a romantic fling with Jennifer Lawrence during the filming of the Hunger Games franchise. This was during a time when Miley and Liam were in a decade-long on-again, off-again relationship. Jennifer has acknowledged only one off-screen kiss with Liam, which occurred after he and Miley had broken up.
When Miley released the music video for “Flowers,” it opened with her walking in a gold dress reminiscent of one that Jennifer wore to the 2012 premiere of the first Hunger Games film. Fans speculated that this look was a deliberate reference to the drama between the two. After all, “Flowers” is widely believed by fans to be inspired by Miley and Liam’s divorce in 2019.
Later in the interview, Jennifer—who shares two children with husband Cooke Maroney—spoke further to the impact the rumors had on her.
“It’s really hard when, you know, if five people at a party think you slept with somebody’s boyfriend, for example, it’s really upsetting,” she noted. “And then you multiply it by—I’m not good at the math—8 billion.”
Since Miley and Liam split for good, the Grammy winner—who is dating Maxx Morando—has made the rare comment about her decade with her The Last Song costar. (For his part, Liam is dating Gabriella Brooks, with whom he sparked romance rumors in late 2019.)
