At this point in her career, Miley Cyrus could’ve gone the obvious route: another radio hit, another loud pivot. But Something Beautiful isn’t chasing attention. Released softly at the end of May, the album landed like a fog, with a full-length visual album that feels more like a curated exhibit than a pop release. But she’s just getting started. Now, she releases the official music video of Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved, where she teamed up with none other than British supermodel Naomi Campbell.
Miley Cyrus has never shied away from reinvention: from country beginnings to Bangerz-era chaos to the leather-and-liner of Plastic Hearts. But Something Beautiful, her ninth studio album, feels different. It didn’t come with a viral lead single or endless teaser campaigns. Instead, it arrived fully formed, a thirteen-track record dropped without features, followed immediately by a visual companion described as a “pop opera fueled by fantasy.” Premiering first at Tribeca Film Festival, then screened for one night only in select theatres, the film has since landed on Disney+ and Hulu, with Miley’s calling it her “dream come true,” and a blend of music, fashion, and cinema shaped by collaborators like Panos Cosmatos, Shawn Everett, and Alan Meyerson.
In Every Girl You've Ever Loved, the unexpected collaboration unfolds in a minimal yet charged video where music and fashion collapse into one. Directed by Nadia Lee Cohen, it’s set in a bare studio space that feels halfway between a catwalk and a photo set, a clear nod to ‘90s editorial aesthetics.
Naomi Campbell, who’s no stranger to being in music videos (think Michael Jackson’s In the Closet or George Michael’s Freedom! ‘90), doesn’t need to sing; her presence says it all. Lyrically, the track is a quiet provocation. “I’m every girl you’ve ever loved / I can hold you like a man and let you cry like a child,” Miley sings. It’s intimate but assertive, blurring roles and rewriting expectations of herself, of femininity, of what a pop song can be.
One of the most talked-about moments in the video is the sequence where Miley and Naomi, dressed in sharp tailored suits and long gloves move through a stripped-back choreography. The scene inevitably brings to mind Beyoncé’s Single Ladies video, not just in its styling, but in the quiet confidence both women bring to the frame. Campbell reminds us why she remains a symbol of style and presence. And Miley cements her place as one of the most versatile artists of her generation.
