Miley Cyrus still owns the dress she wore on her first date with ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, describing it as one of several “beautiful moments” she’s chosen to preserve from their relationship.

The 32-year-old singer first met the 35-year-old actor in 2009 while filming The Last Song. Their relationship spanned a decade, including an engagement in 2012, a break-up in 2013 and a reconciliation in 2016. They married in December 2018, shortly after losing their Malibu home in the Woolsey Fire. The couple separated less than a year later, finalising their divorce in early 2020.

Despite their split, the Flowers hitmaker still wants to hold on to the keepsakes from the cherished moments they shared during their relationship.

She told Vogue: “I literally have a dress that I had on when I met my ex-husband, and then I have my dress that I wore on our first date. Along with letters and things ... I want to savour these kind of beautiful moments of my life.”

Cyrus made the comments while discussing her fashion archive, which she’s been organising into what she calls a “legacy rack” – a curated collection of looks from each era of her life.

She said: “Everything I do in my life is a little bit intense, but it has to be holistic. And that’s why my eras, they’re not a costume, they’re actually like a metamorphosis or a true evolution for me personally.”

The pop star acknowledged the challenge of deciding which personal items to share publicly, given the high-profile nature of her relationship with the Marvel star.

“Because these intimate moments have also been public moments, it’s a little bit tough to decide what piece I want to share and what I would ever allow to be seen.”
