As a devoted fan of [high-cut one pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyler-mcgillivary-3), Miley Cyrus would most definitely approve of the 'Smiley' swimsuit by Clashist.

Beyond the hip bone-baring silhouette, the suit features a [collage of the pop star's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta) now-infamous pout. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past year and a half, you're probably aware of Cyrus's penchant for baring her tongue in nearly every selfie she takes. One might refer to this suit as a "tongue-in-cheek" tribute to the pop star.

If your inner Miley is chomping at the bit and raring to go, perhaps you should consider investing in this [cheeky swimsuit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/debute-x-stripe-stare). Pool party season is just around the corner, and I can guarantee tongues will be wagging at the sight of you!
