Her gluten-free diet is keeping her trim — and because of that, Miley Cyrus is happy to show off her svelte figure.

“I’ll wear a two-piece any time I can,” she tells InStyle.com of peekaboo dresses, like the Emilio Pucci look she wore to The Hunger Games premiere in L.A. Of that sexy ensemble, chosen with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth in mind, Cyrus says, “It was the night I wanted to look the way that I would think he would like.” And? “He really liked it.”

Cyrus, who’s been wearing some more grown-up gowns in recent months, says she also selected the dress to flatter her frame. “The band on top [of the skirt] was big and gave a good waist, but it showed curves still,” she explains. “It was perfect.” Tell us: Would you ever wear a two-piece dress?

Whether rocking a $35 frock or a myriad of designer duds, Michelle Obama‘s wardrobe choices always turn heads.

Last night’s State of the Union ensemble was no exception. As the President declared his intent to help buoy the 99 percent (“Asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? Most Americans would call that common sense,” he declared), his wife dazzled in a cobalt sheath from Barbara Tfank’s resort collection.

While reps for the brand won’t reveal the item’s retail price, a similar style from the collection is currently available at Barneys New York for $2,400.

This isn’t the first time the First Lady has worn the Los Angeles-based designer’s sophisticated wares. Last year, she met with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wearing a seafoam brocade design topped with a bubblegum pink stole.

“Everything in my closet is something that I love,” Obama has said. “So that I can make choices based on what makes sense, knowing that I’m going to love whatever it is.”
