Miley Cyrus hiked to Hollywood sign in heels for Gucci shoot
Miley Cyrus hiked up to the Hollywood sign in high-heels to shoot her latest campaign for Gucci fragrances.
The 31-year-old pop star has been the face of the brand's Gucci Flora perfumes since 2021 and she stars in the latest advertising shots for new scent Gorgeous Orchid Eau De Parfum - and Miley revealed she hiked up a steep hill above Los Angeles in painful shoes to pose in front of the city's famous sign.
Recalling a conversation about the shoot with her godmother Dolly Parton, Miley explained: "When I told my godmother, Dolly, that I hiked to the Hollywood sign in heels, she said, ‘Honey, I do everything in heels!'"
Miley added of the shoot: "To me, the Hollywood sign represents making dreams a reality. I love John Lennon’s quote ‘A dream we dream alone is just a dream, but a dream we dream together becomes reality.’ L.A. is all about making magic happen."

"I have two tattoos of flowers. One is a rose, because its petals are beautiful, but the stem is strong and sometimes sharp. A rose protects itself; it’s vulnerable but powerful. Two things I wish to represent."
