'I don't care about the wedding, it's about the promise we've made': Miley Cyrus plans long engagement to Liam Hemsworth as she poses for edgy fashion shoot

Miley Cyrus cares about the 'promise' she has made to fiance Liam Hemsworth more than their wedding.
The 19-year-old got engaged to the actor in May and she insists they are in no rush to walk down the aisle and instead wanted to make a commitment to one another.
In an interview with Marie Claire magazine, she said: 'Life is too short not to be with the person you want to be with.

'I don't really care about the wedding or the piece of paper as much as I do the promise we've made to each other. And we want to have a long engagement.'

 

Sheer daring: The star in a bold Tom Ford dress

Liam, 22, presented Miley with a vintage 3.5 carat Neil Lane engagement ring when he popped the question and the former Hannah Montana star is thrilled with the band he picked out.
She explained: 'I had no input. We'd been kind of talking about [getting engaged], and I saw something like it online at one point and thought it was really pretty, but I usually wear rose gold. I just love that it's old and has a story. And I'm happy because it doesn't look like anything else I wear.'
Still, Miley insist the proposal came as a 'complete surprise' to her, and also to her parents Billy Ray and Tish, who weren't aware of Liam's intention to ask for her hand in marriage.
It seems Miley has competition for Liam's affection - her dog Ziggy.
The mutt is besotted with the Australian hunk and spends all her time snuggling up to Liam when she isn't eating her owner's jewellery.
She revealed: 'She is a stubborn little b***h, that one. She doesn't listen to me. She's in love with Liam. She loves me when he's gone, but she totally ate my diamonds on purpose. She was pooping them out all morning!'
Miley also addressed the controversy over a video that emerged last year which appeared to show her smoking Salvia, a hallucinogenic but legal plant.
She hinted that the drama seems to have given the former Disney star some street cred in the music world and she has since started recording with Pharrell Williams after he reached out to her in the wake of the headlines.

She boasted: 'Pharrell said, "Don't be offended because this is how I talk, but [I thought], That b***h is actually living. She's not sitting there with her Momager's chain on her door. I want to free that b***h. I want her out of the cage."'
Inside the magazine's prestigious September issue, newly slimmed-down Miley models a series of edgy looks including a high-collared Aquilano Rimondi dress and a green diamonte cover dress by Dior, which she wears on the cover.
But she's already changed-up her look since the photoshoot, dyeing her hair platinum blonde over the weekend.

Like mother, like daughter! Miley Cyrus and mom Tish compete for attention in equally revealing tops

She's no stranger to standing out from the crowd, and is rarely seen in anything other than a flesh-baring ensemble.
But as Miley Cyrus headed out in Los Angeles yesterday, the 19-year-old had some strong competition from her mother Tish - who appeared to have taken style tips from her teenage daughter in a very revealing black vest top.
Tish teamed her top with a pair of ripped jeans, while Miley opted for a skintight black bandeau, paired with high-waisted denims and bright red shoes.

The pair's eye-catching ensembles came as Miley took out her mother for Mother's Day, along with older sister Brandi.

Miley, who is often seen at the side of her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, left The Hunger Games star at home to enjoy her day out with the girls.
However, the former Disney star was seen out with Liam and her newly-adopted dog Mary Jane later in the day.

The three ladies later visited a branch of Trader Joe's on the way home where they picked up some snacks.
Miley's older sister Brandi was the epitome of a typical Californian girl in a pair of cut-off shorts, a printed white tank and some flip-flops.
In the morning she tweeted that her mother was in for a treat on Sunday.

She posted: ‘Almost the best mommy in the worlds b-day! Got her somethin real good since its Mommys day and her 4_th bday :)’
During her outing with Liam later in the day, Miley was joined by her latest addition - pooch Mary Jane.

She wrote on Twitter: ‘Meet the newest addition to our family Mary Jane :) I love rescuing xo'

It comes a week after she took in what is thought to be a Beagle-Rottweiler mix who was found outside a Walmart in a box.
The canine named Happy along with his companions Lily and Ziggy, did not attend the meal much to Miley and her partner’s ease.
The pooches are proving quite a handful as she suggested in a recent Twitter post.
‘As all my dogs jumped on my face the first words out of my mouth this morning..."I am living my dream life".’

While her 22-year-old beau’s latest movie, The Hunger Games, is doing well at the box office, her new offering LOL hasn’t done so well and raked in just $46,500 in its opening weekend.
However the star tried not to dwell on news of the bomb film and thanked her followers on the micro-blogging website instead.
She wrote last week: ‘Thank u so much for everyone who went to see LOL. It is a film I loved making and I am proud of.... That's really all that matters to me.’
