So, Miley Cyrus said “no” — but like, did she mean it?
When a fan asked if that iconic gold dress in her “Flowers” music video was a subtle jab at Jennifer Lawrence (yes, that J-Law), Miley gave an answer so cool, so smooth, it had the internet spiraling.
Ready for the full drama breakdown? Here’s what you’ll get:


1. So, remember “Flowers”?
You know, Miley’s mega-hit breakup anthem that basically broke the internet (and possibly Liam Hemsworth’s ego)? Yeah, that one. It crushed charts, won Grammys, and had us all singing in the mirror like we were freshly single and thriving.
But of course, fans couldn’t just let the iconic gold dress moment in the music video slide. Nope, they went full FBI.
2. The Tea: A Dress, A Rumor, A Theory That Won’t Die

Let’s break it down:
- Miley wore a shimmery gold dress in the “Flowers” music video.
- Jennifer Lawrence also wore a very similar gold dress to The Hunger Games premiere back in 2012.
- Around that time, Miley was dating Liam Hemsworth.
- Jennifer later admitted to kissing Liam off-camera.
- Cue the internet: “Was Miley’s dress a shady nod to J-Law???”
I mean, fans really went there. The side-by-sides were posted. TikToks exploded. Everyone had a theory — and an attitude.
3. Enter Miley, Queen of Chill Comebacks 👑

Fast forward to last week. A fan asked Miley point-blank after a Jimmy Kimmel Live taping:
“Was your ‘Flowers’ dress a reference to Jennifer Lawrence?”
And Miley, unbothered and fabulous in a giant fluffy coat and top bun, simply replied:
“No, but I love that dress of hers.”
Mic drop. Sort of.
Whether it was shade or just style, Miley gave us a whole mood. And let’s be real — even if the gold dress theory is totally wrong, it’s fun to pretend it’s right. Because nothing beats a little petty glam in a breakup ballad.
One thing’s for sure: if Miley was throwing shade, she did it with glitter and grace.
Gold dress or not, she’s that girl.
