The Wrecking Ball singer did her bit for the Australian fashion industry and wore a sequin leotard and fur trimmed robe emblazoned with the words "Hello Sydney" by Melbourne-based label Discount Universe for her TV appearance on Sunrise.
The look, which featured a growling women's face plastered across her torso, was accessorised with a replica pair of her infamous pill-covered sunglasses, which were given to her by a fan, shiny tube socks and platform sneakers.
In little over a year, the 21-year-old pop star has become a rebellious fashion maven since posing in a number of other Discount Universe looks for a photo shoot with controversial fashion photographer Terry Richardson.
Photos of the pint-sized singer wearing the label's tie-dye T-shirt with the message "PRAY FUR UR LYF" went viral after being uploaded to social media last year. She also used a shot featuring an outfit by the brand as her Twitter background image, a photo that went on to be seen by her 18.7 million followers.
Most recently she has been photographed, albeit naked, by Chanel creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, for fashion publication W magazine, released an art collaboration with designer Jeremy Scott and introduced a new generation of women to nipple pasties after arriving topless to Alexander Wang's New York Fashion Week after party.
Discount Universe was launched in 2009 by designers Nadia Napreychikov and Cami James and was quickly spotted by a number of heavyweight celebrity stylists and local institutions for its intricate tailoring and bold fabrications. To say the duo have never met a sequin they didn't like would be an understatement, the looks are louder than Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in surround sound (and 3D).
While Cyrus' stylist, Simone Harouche, purchased a number of items from the label's online store last year, others such as Beyonce and Britney Spears have requested some of their heavy embellished dresses, jackets and T-shirts to wear on stage. Napreychikov and James have also been approached by The Australian Ballet to design a number of looks for upcoming dance seasons.
"It really doesn't bother me when people tell me I'm crazy because I am," Cyrus told Sunrise presenters Samantha Armytage and David Koch after they asked how she felt about being considered a "crazy icon".
"I'm too honest and I'm too much myself," she said and referred people her Instagram account to see just how open she is.
"I decided a year ago that my whole life goal is to be happy," she said.
The singer also revealed if she wasn't a singer she would like to be a stand-up comedian, saying "I am the joke," look at me" before pointing to her brightly coloured ensemble.
