Lately the most fashion-forward thing a celebrity can do is develop an understanding of the vintage market. A great find from season’s past has the ability to resonate in a way looks direct from the runway can’t and style-savvy stars are learning to use archival fashion to great effect. A hippie at heart, Miley Cyrus has always shown an affinity for pieces from the late 1960s and early 1970s, and her latest look revisits the work of a master designer of the era: Yves Saint Laurent.

Out to dinner last night at London restaurant Gymkhana, Cyrus wore a series of retro pieces bringing back everything from a 1990s Prada crystal evening bag to a platinum double C necklace from Chanel. Even with all the vintage finery, nothing could take attention away from the Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche dragon vest she wore over a plain white T-shirt and wide-leg trousers. Royal purple with gold embroidery and a braided trim, it was a statement in and of itself that elevated every other element of Cyrus’s outfit.

With her new EP, She is Coming, set for release later this week, Cyrus has been making the publicity rounds while providing hints about the direction of her latest chapter. Already spotted onstage at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend Music Festival in a slinky Tom Ford for Gucci minidress and on the EP’s cover in a well-worn Sex Pistols “Never Mind the Bollocks” crop top, it’s clear that vintage is an important part of Cyrus’s style. More than merely looking good, her habit of recycling the best in old school designer wares aligns with her sustainable, animal-friendly fashion outlook. And what’s cooler than that?
