Miley Cyrus, the 19-year-old pop singer and actress, has created quite the social media buzz after debuting a shorter 'do at Sunday evening's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.

Cyrus' thigh-skimming Jean Paul Gaultier blazer-inspired dress, with a plunging neckline and Christian Louboutin shoes, also got lots of attention.
Cyrus, who's best known for the success of her Hannah Montana franchise, typically sports longer locks—and her look during her recent hosting gig on Saturday Night Live proved she is also a fan of lengthening hair extensions.
Her winged eyeliner, soft pink glass, heavy brow and long lashes were definitely a hit. But what do you think of her retro, '60s-esque hair and revealing ensemble?
We asked our Facebook fans, and here's what you had to say:
Kel Shook She looks like she forgot to finish getting dressed. Not feelin the hair either.
Sable Lee Allen I think the whole thing looks edgy and fabulous...lots of celebs and everyday women wear short skirts/dresses the fact it's a blazer just makes it seem racier. I love it!! Flaunt it while you've got it!
Heather Kaylor Grontkowski You know what, as a beautiful, fit young woman she is dressing exactly her age. I think she looks fabulous.
Molly Gossell Not a huge fan of the hair. Other than that, I think she looks fab as usual.
Tracy McCoy Pasquale Make up = yes, shoes= yes...hair = no, glad to see the extentions gone! Rihanna does the blazer thing all the time.
Kelly Kaye Accettola She looks gorgeous but she should have left the blazer behind! She is in tip top shape right now, show it off, girl!
Laura Ramos The overall look is great but the look is too mature for her.
Charleen Knapp The entire look would be fine I she was older. Doesn't suite her, but not bad otherwise.
Tiffany Davis-Wermund She is adorable—the color could be a bit less fluffy, with a few well-placed lowlights. I do agree she needs to cover up a bit more. LOVE THE SHOES.
