Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were in a on-again, off-again relationship for about a decade before they finally split for good when their divorce was finalized in 2020. That seismic breakup inspired Cyrus to write “Flowers,” an ode to independence and self sufficiency. Her 2023 music video for that song finds Cyrus wearing a gold dress that looks like something a goddess might wear—or a human Oscar statuette. If you believe online sleuths, though, the look may have been chosen to remind Cyrus’s audience of something—or rather, someone.
As you may remember, Hemsworth spent the 20-teens starring in the Hunger Games films alongside Jennifer Lawrence. Hemsworth and Lawrence reportedly had a close relationship; in 2014, he called her one of his best friends. Lawrence, who today shares two children with husband Cooke Maroney, had also joked about a kiss she exchanged with Liam when the cameras weren’t rolling, though she says it happened when Cyrus and Hemsworth were in one of their “off-again” periods.
This backstory is why the gold dress Cyrus wears in the“Flowers” video has fans recalling the dress Lawrence wore at the 2012 Los Angeles premiere of the first Hunger Games film. It, too, was striking and gold. So, was Cyrus’s dress a coincidence—or a thinly veiled dig at Lawrence?

In June of 2023, Andy Cohen asked Lawrence about the speculation. “There was already a lot of talk that the music video was referencing a secret fling that you had with Liam Hemsworth while he was with Miley Cyrus,” the Watch What Happens Live host said. “Can you please respond?” The Oscar winner shut down the idea quickly: “Not true. I would love to. Not true. Total rumor. I mean, we all know that me and Liam, like, kissed one time. It was years after they broke up. So I just assume that was, like, a coincidence.”
Cyrus, however, never had her say on the matter—until now. The artist, who recently released a new album titled Something Beautiful, was recently signing autographs for fans. One of them asked her if the dress was indeed an intentional reference to Lawrence. Cyrus replied, “No, but I love that dress of hers.”

One might think that this would put the matter to rest—but some commenters on the video still aren’t satisfied. “‘I love that dress of hers’ totally about her,” the top comment reads. “that’s a classy way to say yes,” says another. “The Disney media training kicked on,” adds one more. But perhaps the matter is best encapsulated by this comment, which has significantly fewer likes than those: “The woman literally says no and yall still think it is…”
