Miley Cyrus wore some of the late singer’s most well-known clothing during a recent cover photo shoot honoring Pixie Geldof’s late mother, Paula Yates.
Miley Cyrus paid a touching tribute to the late Paula Yates in a recent shoot. The Flowers singer wore items of Paula’s wardrobe, including a green floral print dress for the cover of Perfect magazine.
Pixie Geldof claimed that her mother would enjoy it. She said the dress brought back happy memories of sluggish family Sundays while telling the emotive story behind the images.
She credited “any of my mothers’ archives for the first time.” However, this family loves Miley. So I responded, “of course,” when Katy Grand (Perfect editor) inquired. What I love about the cover is this stunning everyday dress that was worn on sleepy Sundays, not at big party-style events, and it carried Katie and Miley’s essence for them.
The emotional statement continued, “I don’t think there is anyone in her archive who I would want to see more than Miley, another fiercely talented, kind, and hilarious powerhouse.”

Paula, a 41-year-old TV presenter and writer, overdosed with heroin in 2000. The mother-of-four enjoyed working with musicians Bob Geldof and Michael Hutchence and appeared on The Big Breakfast on the big screen.
Miley and Pixie have a long friendship. Miley and Pixie have been photographed on nights out together and have been spotted at Miley’s shows.
It comes eleven years after Peaches Geldof died and the late star adored her mum, Paula Yates, who passed years earlier in tragically similar circumstances. The bubbly Big Breakfast star died in 2000, aged 41, after a heroin overdose – 14 years before Peaches’ own life was cut tragically short.
The mum-of-two, who also died from an overdose aged just 25, never got over losing Paula, who was herself heartbroken when her partner, INXS star Michael Hutchence, died by suicide in 1997, aged 37.
Before she was discovered dead at her home in Kent in 2014, Peaches even shared a heartbreaking final photo of herself with her mother.
In a tragic example of history repeating itself, the model’s death left her father, Bob Geldof, bereft.
Perhaps Peaches’ adolescence would turn out to be challenging. Much to the shock of her father, Paula started drinking and using drugs after her death.
Yes, I ate drugs, I guess. Yes, I’ve had experiences, but some of them were unpleasant and not ones I want to repeat. “I was growing up,” she told the Spectator before adding, “I wanted the experience.”
In a tragic final interview, Peaches claimed that she had to accept the loss of Paula only after giving birth to sons Astala and Phaedra in 2012 and 2013.
The young mother told the young mother in a conversation with Aga Living magazine that she thought her TV presenter mother was “living through me every single time because we are so similar.”
She said, “I’m not sure I’ve made peace with my childhood, but I’ve come to terms with everything with my mother,” explaining how her sons had given her a new understanding of the world.
The Geldof family was shaken by another tragedy just months later, when it appeared as though history had already repeated itself.
