“I’m not trying to be ‘slutty,’” Miley said in a recent interview, the Associated Press reports. “I’m not trying to be like, go to the club and get a bunch of guys… what I’m trying to do is to make a point with my record and look consistent, in the way my record sounds and the way I dress.”

What she wears has been put under the spotlight recently. Some thought the video for “Can’t Be Tamed” was too provocative, and others have criticized her for revealing too much skin in her outfits.

Miley doesn't believe there is anything wrong with the way she dresses.

“I’m really comfortable with my body, I work really hard to be fit and to know that I can wear whatever makes me most comfortable," she explained. "I feel more comfortable dressing with a little less, which is just how I’ve always been."

“Now I’m able to do that a little more freely and, also, I’ve just grown up to be this way too," Miley added. "It’s not like this was me five years ago. It’s me now, presently.”

She's older now and feels she's dressing appropriately for her age.

“When you’re 11, the word you would use to describe someone is definitely not sexy, and as you get older I think you grow into that," Miley said of her new style. "And I think I’ve done that but that’s not my schtick. That’s not what I’m trying to do to sell records. I want people to buy my record because of my music.”
