Miley re-invents Hanna Montana

MANILA, Philippines - Miley Cyrus reprises her role as Miley Stewart in Hannah Montana which premieres with a brand new season. This hit comedy series follows your typical teenager who lives with her older brother and widowed dad, a songwriter. But unknown to her friends and classmates, Miley has a secret double life — she is the world famous pop star Hannah Montana.

Miley talks about fashion, Hannah Montana and others in the interview below:

How does your wardrobe differ from Hannah Montana’s?

I think the wardrobe really has grown up with me as the show has grown. I’m very simple so I like that the Miley stuff is very simple and not plain, but is just like a normal girl with everyday stuff. And for Hannah, it’s actually been stuffed up. It’s a little more like having the ’80s vibe so I like that a lot! Lots of bright colors, animal prints, gloves and heels. It’s amazing and so much fun.

Has the Hannah character gotten a newer look now?

A little bit. We’ve cut the wig shorter and made it blonder and fluffier. We’ve given it more of an edgy vibe in general. You know, basically this is more of the style this year. It’s more hip, lots of long shirts with jeans, which I think is really fun because it shows that I can be cute and modest at the same time.

How different is the style of the real person as opposed to the character? How different do you do things when you’re not on camera?

The character is definitely with a lot more bright colors, which is really fun with the scenes that match it. But in reality, my style and way of dressing is very different. All my clothes are big sweaters and comfy stuff. I just like being comfortable more than anything. And I’m always cold, so I like keeping warm. 

During the summer, I prefer a lot more bright, more of the white tank tops and just kind of being more chill and ready for anything more than having to worry about being in a dress all the time.

The new season of Hannah Montana airs on Sunday, March 22 at 5 p.m. on Disney Channel.
