Miley Cyrus knows her way around a red carpet. While other stars have their flop moments, Miley has been consistently serving looks since she was Hannah Montana. No matter the event, you can count on her to bring all the drama. Her Dolly Parton-inspired hair at the Grammys last year was one of our favorite hair moments of all time—and it really solidified her commitment to red carpet glamour. Thankfully for us, she made an appearance at the 2025 Golden Globes last night and her spiky punk updo was yet another hairstyle for the books. In fact, we’re so obsessed with the look we got all the details from her hairstylist.

Miley has always been a hair icon. She’s donned countless colors and cuts (including a calico cat hair trend from TikTok), and has effortlessly pulled off every single look. Like her Dolly hair at the Grammys, Miley’s Golden Globes hair is a carefully curated reference. Her stylist says the hairstyle is a “cross between Debbie Harry and Japanese cartoon characters, while still feeling undone and a little bit punk.” While prom-inspired updos have been huge lately, Miley’s hair is no doubt a fresh take on the trend with punk and anime influences.

Thankfully for us, you can achieve Miley’s red carpet hair at home. Bob Recine told us all the steps he took to style her Golden Globes spiky updo, plus the exact products he used—so you can channel your inner Miley Cyrus.
