Miley Cyrusmade an unforgettable entrance at the 2025 Golden Globes, her first trip to the award ceremony since 2009.

She fittingly had rock star eye makeup and also an updo with front-woman vibes, says hairstylistBob Recine. “We wanted to create something that was custom but felt like a cross between Debbie Harry and Japanese cartoon characters, while still feeling undone and a little bit punk.”

The pro used a trio of Nexxue sprays —Prep & Protect Heat Defense Spray,Epic Shine SprayandXXL Volume Medium Hold Hairspray— to get the look.

Cyrus is nominated for best original song - motion picture for her new single “Beautiful That Way,” which was written and recorded forGia Coppola’s filmThe Last Showgirl.
