A queen of the rock ’n’ roll hairstyle, Miley Cyrus has tried wolf cuts, shags, mullets and buzz cuts in her time. Her penchant for mussed-up, lived-in texture means it’s rare to see the singer with hair that is sleek and straight—but for an NBC dinner in New York City on May 15, she paired a black silk minidress with exactly that.

Miley Cyrus’s undeniably ladylike new lob (or long bob) sits an inch or so below her collarbone. Styled with a side part, and with texture that’s straighter and sleeker than anything we’ve seen from Miley in a long time, her hair feathered around her jawline.

Smooth and straight her hair may be, but Cyrus never really parts with her rock ’n’ roll aesthetic entirely. Her peroxide-blonde shade still out in force, and the singer also showed off a grungey root shadow, as well as a near-black shade through the lower layers of her haircut. As prim and proper as you’re going to get from Cyrus.
