Miley Cyrus brought it all back home last night for a countrified edition of MTV Unplugged. As one of the only music-focused holdouts of the channel, Unplugged has long since been the place to make history (Nirvana’s cover of David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold the World” and Lauryn Hill’s controversial follow up to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill are two biggies). And while Cyrus might not have reached VMA level in her bootie-on-bootie smack duet with Madonna, she once again proved her vocal chops. To boot, she proved that tacky is real trendy as of late in two over-the-top Nashville-approved looks.

Opening with an ultra twangy version of “4×4,” Cyrus went full out hoedown in a white bejewelled cowboy hat, blond bob wig and head-to-toe gingham cat suit custom made by her stylist Simone Harouche. The top featured a stud-encrusted yoke, which was worn open and filled with a bedazzled white necktie and shimmering belt. It was classic Dolly Parton (minus those famous double Ds), whom Cyrus covered later in the show with “Jolene.”
