Miley Cyrus recently addressed longstanding fan speculations suggesting that her gold dress in the music video of her 2023 track Flowers was a subtle reference to actress Jennifer Lawrence. In a TikTok video recorded outside a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Cyrus responded to a fan's question about the golden dress, saying she loves that dress.
The dress in question is a golden gown that Jennifer Lawrence wore to the premiere of The Hunger Games, where she starred alongside Liam Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus' ex-husband.

Some fans are comparing it to a similar controversy involving pop star Tyla, where her Coachella 2025 outfit was compared to Britney Spears' stage look at the 2001 VMAs.
"It's like that tyla situation isn't it."
According to People on April 21, 2025, Tyla responded to a now-deleted tweet on X that drew a comparison between her Coachella 2025 outfit and Britney Spears' VMAs 2002 look. Tyla said that she "just thought the outfit was fly", but that she hadn't drawn inspiration from it.
"Love her but I just thought the outfit was fly ... no inspo."
But some X users still believe that Miley Cyrus' reply is similar to Tyla's, posting screenshots of the Tyla outfit in reply to Pop Base's post about Miley.
However, many fans believe that the fan speculations over the gold dress in Miley Cyrus' Flowers music video are just "drama", and the "dress is just a dress."
"why do y’all always need drama? sometimes a dress is just a dress😭", one X user replied to the post by Pop Base.
The only similarity those dresses have is that they’re both gold, people just be reaching for ANYTHING nowadays 😭, a stan account on X commented.
Other fans praised Miley Cyrus' response, calling her an 'unproblematic queen' and appreciating the way she responded to the drama with "class and a compliment."
"Queen of shutting down drama with class and a compliment", one X user said under the post by Pop Base
"Unproblematic queen we love to see it", a X user commented.
