Miley Cyrus gave a nostalgic nod to her Hannah Montana character while attending the show’s 20th Anniversary Special premiere in Los Angeles on Monday.
The actress and singer, 33, dazzled in a sparkling metallic dress with a graphic Hannah Montana t-shirt underneath, as she joined the show’s original cast at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.
The beloved Disney Channel teen sitcom followed Miley Stewart (Cyrus), a teenager living a secret double life as a famous pop star, Hannah Montana, while trying to keep a sense of normalcy as a high school student.
The show – which also starred her real-life father Billy Ray Cyrus – aired for four seasons from 2006 to 2011 and helped launch Cyrus’s musical career.
The special – filmed in front of a live studio audience – is set to premiere on March 24, and will stream on both Disney+ and Hulu.
It will feature never-before-seen archival footage, performances of some of the show’s iconic songs, and appearances from her parents Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray.

Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper will take on hosting duties.
Cyrus paired her sparkling look with silver heels and wore her blonde hair in a straight style, cascading down her shoulders.
