Miley goes nude for video
Miley Cyrus strips off to nothing but a pair of boots for her new music video Wrecking Ball.
The video for the heartbreak ballad – directed by famed fashion photographer Terry Richardson – opens with Cyrus singing and crying into the camera.
At times during the video, Cyrus is shown in a white top and bikini bottoms, licking a sledgehammer, before being shown straddling a wrecking ball in the nude.
Watch the video below:
According to Hollywood Life, Cyrus decided to go naked for the video to show her "vulnerable side".
A source told the gossip website: "Miley has shot with Terry a lot over the years so she’s very comfortable with him and she trusts him.
"She chose him to direct her video because he’s all about pushing boundaries and making a statement. That’s what Miley’s into right now.
"Miley loved the idea of going naked because it suits the song — she’s showing her naked emotions. It’s her vulnerable side and it’s not something she shows very often, so having nudity made sense."
