Miley Cyrus<\/strong> and Liam Hemsworth<\/strong> 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 \u201cFlowers,\u201d 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\u2014or a human Oscar statuette. If you believe online sleuths, though, the look may have been chosen to remind Cyrus\u2019s audience of something\u2014or rather, someone.<\/p>\n As you may remember, Hemsworth spent the 20-teens starring in the Hunger Games<\/em> films alongside Jennifer Lawrence.<\/strong> Hemsworth and Lawrence reportedly had a close relationship; in 2014, he called her one of his best friends<\/a>. Lawrence, who today shares two children with husband Cooke Maroney<\/strong>, had also joked about a kiss<\/a> she exchanged with Liam when the cameras weren\u2019t rolling, though she says it happened when Cyrus and Hemsworth were in one of their \u201coff-again\u201d periods.<\/p>\n This backstory is why the gold dress Cyrus wears in the\u201cFlowers\u201d video has fans recalling the dress Lawrence wore at the 2012 Los Angeles premiere of the first Hunger Games<\/em> film. It, too, was striking and gold. So, was Cyrus\u2019s dress a coincidence\u2014or a thinly veiled dig at Lawrence?<\/p>\n
