It’s been a couple of years now since the “mob wife aesthetic” was at the peak of its popularity, with everyone from Emily Ratajkowski to Jennifer Lopez sporting hallmarks of the trend: bold animal prints, flashy jewelry, big fur coats. Of course, like most viral movements, “mob wife” slowly lost its momentum and was replaced by other coined aesthetics that popped up across the algorithm. However, its effects can still be seen in the street style of celebrities today.
Most notably, the stars continue to turn to animal prints for a striking statement, whether it’s Jennifer Lawrence and her jungly pillbox hat or Harry Styles and his leopard-print Chanel bag. Now, Miley Cyrus is demonstrating how nearly any off-duty outfit can be improved with just a little bit of animal print.
On Wednesday night, the singer-songwriter was seen grabbing dinner at Pace Restaurant in Los Angeles with her sister, Noah, and her mom, Tish.
For the occasion, Cyrus kept her ensemble low-key, pairing a midnight-blue baby tee with a set of black cigarette pants and inky clogs. Her wavy hair was held up with a black claw clip, and she accessorized with stacks of earrings and a golden charm necklace that dangled across the neck of her top.
The most eye-popping addition, however, was her leopard-print tote from Saint Laurent—an oversize, east-west design that featured wide shoulder straps and a tab closure decorated with the house’s signature YSL logo.
Over the past few years, Cyrus has fiercely embraced animal print. The leopard-print party pants and snakeskin midi dress she wore while promoting her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, were both certainly proof of that. But on this particular outing, she proved that even when you’re opting to keep it casual, one accessory can transform an entire look.
