Miley Cyrus is the latest pop star to embrace a racy and provocative image to help elevate her celebrity. So there was no surprised that the 20-year-old singer decided to dress up for Halloween as Lil Kim, a legendary female rapper notorious for her references to sex, drugs and music in her lyrics, just like Miley.
Cyrus nailed the iconic outfit that the Kim wore to the 1999 MTV VMAs when she shocked audiences with a purple mermaid jumpsuit that exposed her left breast, covered by no more than a mere nipple pasty. It was undoubtedly one of the most memorable moments in VMA history, so it makes sense that Cyrus would wear the look to a Halloween party Wednesday night, reports the Huffington Post. But before heading out, Cyrus posted several photos of her costume to Instagram.
Apparently, Kim was flattered by Cyrus' costume impersonation and on Wednesday tweeted, "Awwww. Look at my baby @mileycyrus tonight!!! Looking GORGEOUS!!! I wish I was there to squeeze your boob :) :) Love U so much !!!! #mytwin," referencing the moment where Diana Ross jiggled her left breast when they presented onstage together.
Shock value aside, Cyrus has professed to being a huge Lil Kim fan. Back in July, she told Billboard.com that the hip-hop star is on her top five list of favorite female artists. "In my past life, I feel like that was me. I feel like Lil Kim is who I am on the inside," she said. "She just makes me happy ... I just love her. And I can't help that I love her."
