Miley Cyrus turned the clock back 20 years as she hit the red carpet for the world premiere of the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special!
The 33-year-old actress and singer shimmered in a silver dress and Hannah’s signature blonde bangs on Monday, March 23, at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles.
Cyrus is celebrating 20 years of Hannah Montana with a new reunion special, looking back at the hit show with guest stars including Selena Gomez and Chappell Roan. The special is set to premiere Tuesday, March 24, on Disney+ and Hulu, exactly 20 years after the very first episode of Hannah Montana premiered on the Disney Channel.
Monday’s red carpet event was full of nostalgic moments as Cyrus posed on the red carpet with former Hannah Montana costars Shanica Knowles (Amber Addison), Anna Maria Perez de Tagle (Ashley Dewitt), Cody Linley (Jake Ryan), Jason Earles (Jackson Stewart) and Moisés Arias (Rico Suave).
Completing the magical night, Cyrus was also joined for the occasion by her fiancé, Maxx Morando, with whom she cozied up on the red carpet, and members of her family. Mom Tish Cyrus, Tish’s husband Dominic Purcell and sister Brandi Cyrus were all spotted on the red carpet.
Cyrus has been cooking up a Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special since last year, she recently revealed to Variety.
“I learned this terrible habit — but I actually think it was good advice — from [godmother] Dolly [Parton],” she told the outlet earlier this month. “She told me that if you want something to happen, promote it before it exists. Then no one can say no. So I just started promoting a Hannah Montana 20th-anniversary special that literally did not exist.”
“I think even Disney sometimes forgets the connection between me and Hannah,” she continued. “It’s not just a TV show. I see daily how important Hannah is to people. When I travel, people bring me Hannah merch. They ask, ‘Are you ever going to do another season?’”
One person who won’t be part of the reunion is Emily Osment, who played the best friend of Cyrus’ Miley Stewart in the hit show.
In an Instagram video on Monday, Osment said she was unable to take part in the special — nor Monday’s red carpet event — because she is filming CBS sitcom Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, a spin-off of The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon.
“We’re at Georgie & Mandy … and that’s why I was not able to be part of the 20-year reunion, because we are here shooting our show,” she said.
Osment added, “But I wanted to say hello and thank you to everybody that has stuck by us for all these years. I’m so grateful that you guys all still love the show. I’m so proud to be a part of it.”
