It was a starry day in Los Angeles yesterday, as Miley Cyrus received her Hollywood Walk of Fame star to a crowd of friends, family, and fans. Among the group that gathered was Anya Taylor-Joy, who dressed up in a sparkling, pearly minidress to present the honoree with a touching speech on her impact.

The white look, which featured a halter neckline and sleeveless silhouette, was covered in embellishments—a medley of silver sequins, crystals, and embroidery that created the perfect blend of showgirl drama and luxurious evening-wear that has come to define the work of Bob Mackie. Originally designed for the Resort 1990 collection, the piece was finished with rows and rows of beaded fringe, creating a flapper-style hem that danced as Taylor-Joy walked.

“I, like many of you, remember exactly when and where I was when I first encountered Miley Cyrus,” the Dune star said in her speech. “I was ten years old, recently back from a vacation in Florida with my parents, and clutching my prized J-14 tween magazine to my chest. On the back, a beautiful girl wearing a wig that would become the blueprint for every pop star’s hair since then held her finger to her lips, and I knew that this and her were going to be huge. What I did not know was that huge would barely begin to cover it.”

“Miley didn’t just grow up in front of the world, she outran every expectation it set for her. She challenged the rules, rewrote them and, every once in a while, set them on fire in a teddy bear costume,” she continued. “From Disney Channel beginnings to global pop icon, from country roots to rockstar grit, Miley has never asked for permission to evolve. She’s just done it, beautifully, unapologetically, and always, always authentically—and that is what makes her so special.

Taylor-Joy ended her speech by telling the crowd that the ceremony was not just celebrating a career, but rather a “woman who taught an entire generation how to own their story, even when it’s messy, even when it changes, and especially when it doesn’t fit neatly into a box.”
