The Symphony Effect 🪄

Miley Blended Music, Film, and Fashion — and Made It Look Easy

June 13, 2025

Something Beautiful Wasn’t Just an Album — It Was a Vision 👁️⭐️

Miley Cyrus just gave us ‘Something Beautiful’ - quite literally 💐

On May 30, 2025, Miley Cyrus dropped her ninth album, Something Beautiful — a 13-track project full of raw emotion and reinvention. A week later, she premiered its visual counterpart at Tribeca, with a one-night theatrical release on June 12.

Co-directed by Cyrus, Jacob Bixenman, and Brendan Walter, the film blends music, fashion, and storytelling — including a moment where Miley lies on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Hollywood star, a quiet nod to her past with Patrick Schwarzenegger.

When an Album Becomes a Whole Experience 🌐

  • 🎬 A Visual Album Premiere at Tribeca: Miley's decision to debut the film at Tribeca positioned Something Beautiful within a prestigious cinematic context, attracting both music and film enthusiasts.

  • 📱👗 Fashion as Storytelling: Throughout the film, Miley dons archival pieces from designers like Mugler and Alaïa, using fashion to enhance the narrative and emotional depth of each track.
