Miley Cyrus Hosts Star-Studded Album Listening Party at Chateau Marmont
Rita Ora, Anya Taylor-Joy, and U2’s Bono joined a glittering lineup of guests at Miley Cyrus’s exclusive listening event for her new album, Something Beautiful, held at Los Angeles’ iconic Chateau Marmont on Tuesday. The TikTok-sponsored soirée celebrated the May 30 release of Cyrus’ ninth studio album, which has already garnered critical acclaim for its genre-blending sound.
Fashion Highlights
Rita Ora, 34, turned heads in a daring snake-print dress with strategic cut-outs, paired with knee-high boots and a velvet trench coat. Her glamorous look included a gold chain necklace, voluminous curls, and bold eyeliner. Meanwhile, Anya Taylor-Joy, 29, opted for chic sophistication in a black blouse and trousers beneath a cream faux fur jacket. The Queen’s Gambit star accessorized with a pendant necklace, ballet flats, and a sleek blonde bun, accompanied by her husband, musician Malcolm McRae, who looked sharp in a black suit.

Surprise Appearances and Album Teasers
The event’s surprise attendee, Bono, was spotted leaving in a car, sporting his signature tinted round sunglasses. Meanwhile, Miley teased the album on Instagram with sultry snapshots, captioning one, “Easy Lover out May 30th with Something Beautiful the album.”
Critical Praise for Something Beautiful
The Associated Press hailed the album as a “return to form,” blending pop, rock, disco, and funk. Tracks like Easy Lover and Walk of Fame (featuring Brittany Howard) showcase Cyrus’ vocal maturity and genre versatility. The album also nods to her earlier work, with More To Lose echoing Hannah Montana-era ballads and Pretend You’re God revisiting psychedelic influences from her 2015 album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz.

A Cinematic Companion
Something Beautiful will debut as a musical film at June’s Tribeca Film Festival. Critics note the album’s cohesion, balancing nostalgia and innovation—from ABBA-inspired melodies in End of the World to electronic anthems like Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved, reminiscent of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way.
