She has jokingly referred to herself a ‘cougar’ for dating Morando, who is six years younger than her, but has made clear that she sees their age gap as a positive.
Cyrus paired her eye-catching gold diamond ring with another diamond ring on her left index finger.
Her right hand was also decked out in rings, which coordinated with the diamond choker around her neck.
For the big premiere, Cyrus wowed onlookers in an ultra glamorous black gown with a strapless sequin bodice and billowing ruffled skirt with a train.
She exuded confidence in the Old Hollywood-inspired look, which put much of her collection of over 50 tattoos on display.
Cyrus’ dirty blonde tresses were worn in messy waves, which were swept over to one side to create dramatic volume.
As for her makeup, the Flowers hitmaker made her blue eyes pop by smudging black and brown eyeshadow along her upper and lower lids.
She painted her full lips a pinky nude shade and carved out her already chiseled face with a cool-tone bronzer and a pale peach blush.

Morando looked thrilled to be there in support of Cyrus, who penned the ballad Dream as One for the James Cameron-directed film, which hits theaters on December 19

Morando looked thrilled to be there in support of Cyrus, who penned the ballad Dream as One for the James Cameron-directed film, which hits theaters on December 19.
Morando, who drums professionally, suited up for the occasion in a black jacket, black trousers and a white button-up shirt.
His brunette hair was worn in his signature shag and he completed his outfit with a pair of classic black leather dress shoes.
Cyrus and Morando’s romance began when they went on a blind date in late 2021, however they did not confirm their relationship until the following year.
During a past interview with British Vogue in 2023, the actress said of their first date: ‘Well, it was blind for me and not really for him. I thought, ‘The worst that can happen is I leave.”
The couple mainly keep their relationship out of the public eye, but have been spotted at a few events this year.
Back in March, Miley and Maxx were seen walking the red carpet together at the 97th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood. Later that evening, the pair also stopped by Vanity Fair Oscars Party.
One month prior, the two stars also attended the SNL50: The Anniversary Special in NYC as well as the Homecoming Concert alongside Miley’s mother Tish Cyrus.

Miley exuded confidence on the red carpet
Miley and her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth (seen in 2019) finalized their divorce in January 2020 after just 13 months of marriage
Cyrus has previously talked about her and Maxx’s age gap during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar late last year.
‘He looks at life really differently than I do,’ she said, before adding, ‘He grew up with a laptop. I had a desktop computer that I shared with my brothers and sisters.’
Despite him being younger, the singer explained, ‘He’s very similar to me. We just don’t take life too seriously.’
Cyrus’ relationship with Morando came nearly two years after she finalized her divorce from Hemsworth in January 2020
The former couple, who originally met on set of the film The Last Song, got married in December 2019 after dating on/off since 2009.
But, just eight months later, Cyrus and Hemsworth shockingly separated in August 2019.
By the time their divorce was finalized, they had only been married 13 months.
During a 2020 appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Cyrus admitted that her split from Hemsworth ‘f*****g sucked.’
‘What really sucked about it wasn’t the fact that me and someone that I loved realized that we don’t love each other the way that we used to anymore,’ the Midnight Sky singer told Rogan.
‘That’s okay, I can accept that. I can’t accept the villainizing, and just all those stories.’
Cyrus was alluding to rumors that infidelity had played a role in their divorce. Soon after separating from Hemsworth, Cyrus famously went on to briefly date Kaitlynn Carter before starting a 10-month romance with singer Cody Simpson, who she split from in August 2020.
‘It’s amazing to me the public thinks that there’s no gap of time that they didn’t see that could possibly be what led to this,’ she said of the cheating rumors.
‘It’s not, “One day you were happy on the carpet and the next day you were making out with your friend in Italy, what the f**k?” There’s a lot of time in between that you didn’t see.’
Cyrus claimed that there was ‘too much conflict’ in her marriage to Hemsworth.
‘When I come home, I want to be anchored by someone. I don’t get off on drama or fighting,’ she told Howard Stern in December 2020.
Cyrus’ Grammy Award-winning 2023 hit Flowers is believed to be about the breakdown of her and Hemsworth’s relationship.
While promoting the song, Cyrus finally revealed the moment she knew their marriage was over.
She told fans on TikTok in September 2023 that she came to the decision to leave Hemsworth came to the decision to leave her husband during her headlining gig at the 2019 Glastonbury Festival in England.
‘Glastonbury was in June, which was when the decision happened that me and Liam’s commitment to being married just really came from, of course, a place of love first — because we’d been together for 10 years — but also from a place of trauma,’ the Hannah Montana alum began.
Just before their 2018 wedding, the couple lost their Malibu home to the devastating Woolsey Fire, which claimed the lives of three people and destroyed 1,643 structures in November 2018.
Miley explained that her and her ex were ‘just trying to rebuild as quickly as we could’ but it ultimately did more harm than good.
When she took the stage at Glastonbury the following year, she came to the realization that ‘it was no longer going to work in [her] life to be in that relationship.’
