Last night's 66th Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles may have showcased the very best musical talent, but it was Miley Cyrus and her bodyguard who truly stole the spotlight.
The 31-year-old's Grammy win for 'Flowers' as Record of the Year may have been a huge achievement in her career, but it was Cyrus' bold fashion statement and a mysterious moment on the red carpet that set social media abuzz.
Known for her fearless approach to fashion, Miley Cyrus made a jaw-dropping entrance at the Grammy 2024 red carpet. The singer donned a custom gold Maison Margiela ensemble, featuring an enchanting see-through design adorned with hundreds of gold safety pins.
However, it wasn't just her fashion that had everyone talking. A video capturing Cyrus' bodyguard holding an umbrella became an online sensation, giving rise to a slew of speculations and theories.
Some social media users suggested that the umbrella might be concealing a firearm, sparking passionate discussions and debates across social media platforms.
In a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), YouTuber Matt Wallace urged viewers to "pay close attention" to the Grammy sensation's escort.
The footage captures Cyrus gracefully walking the red carpet at the prestigious awards ceremony, flanked by her security team. Wallace claimed that the security guard was discreetly concealing a weapon, hidden beneath the umbrella in his right hand.
Wallace pointed out: "The hands are not moving the way they should be. That umbrella looks heavier than it appears. There could be a concealed weapon or firearm inside." The video quickly ignited a storm of opinions, with users dissecting the possibilities of concealed weaponry.
As of this writing, the video has amassed more than 24.1 million views.
Speculations ranged from the bodyguard potentially having a fake arm entirely, with his real arm concealed under his jacket. One observant viewer noted: "Left Arm longer than Right Arm… It’s a GIMMICK. Real weapon concealed by the black coat. Oldest trick in the bodyguard book."
Another curious user pondered: "Auto firearm dressed as an umbrella?"
However, there were many other social media users who couldn't see what all the fuss was about:
Despite the flurry of speculations, Miley Cyrus' Grammy 2024 Red Carpet look remained a show-stopper. The Maison Margiela creation, exclusively designed by John Galliano, paid homage to his Fall-Winter 1996 collection.
Crafted with meticulous detail using gold safety pins, Miley's ensemble added a touch of glamour to the Grammy night, leaving a lasting impression on the fashion world.
