Miley Cyrus wore a shimmering gold leotard for the December/January cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine.

And inside the 32-year-old posed nearly ɴuᴅᴇ, showing off her array of tattoos while in lingerie in images taken by pH๏τographer Ethan James Green. 

The superstar has a new album coming out called Something Beautiful as she told the publication her influences have been Joni Mitchell and Madonna, as well as her 26-year-old boyfriend Maxx Morando. She has been in the studio for the ‘past six or seven months now’ it was added by the fashion journal.

In her interview Miley also talks her wild past.

‘Obviously, [being a child star] shaped me into a very different adult than some of my peers or my friends,’ she shared. ‘It is just a really different childhood to have. For a while, I thought it got in the way of me connecting with people.

‘I feel like I can connect to people and I feel like I’m a friend to all. But because of how I’ve grown up, sometimes people make it harder. I can drop my persona really easily, but it’s hard for other people to erase that part of you.’
