You can always count on Miley Cyrus to do things her way—even when it comes to

Easter. While the rest of us will be busy breaking out the Paas egg kits or

stockpiling Cadbury chocolates, the pop star has something glitzier planned.

“[I’m] going to a drag show . . . duh!” Cyrus told us via e-mail from Los Angeles.

But enjoying a drag revue isn’t the only thing Cyrus has in store for the weekend.

By celebrating the event with a special series of images by photographer Vijat

Mohindra, she is continuing a tradition begun earlier this year in which every

holiday is marked by a new photographic statement, a kind of social media

calendar. “It started with Valentine’s Day on a shoot with Ellen von Unwerth,

went into St. Paddy’s Day partying with some friends, and now it’s Easter,” said

Cyrus. “I’m excited that Vogue wants to get involved and celebrate with me!”

With shots of Cyrus posing in pastels, holding glittery carrots, and, yes, getting

spanked by the Easter Bunny, the end result is a tongue-in-cheek exploration of a

holiday that can skew formal. Playful with a pinup vibe and dreamy colors, the

shoot aligns perfectly with Cyrus’s personal look. That makes sense considering

she styled it herself with help from designer Bradley Kenneth McPeek, whose

innovative eyewear features within. For Cyrus, who has undergone multiple

fashion evolutions during her time in the spotlight, sartorial experimentation

comes with the territory. “If everything is cute . . . it works together, so pile it on

and wear all your favorites at once! No such thang as too much!” she said. With

the Met Gala on her schedule, there’s a chance that she’ll apply that same

philosophy to her ensemble, but for the moment, Cyrus is most excited about

attending the event with Stella McCartney, a designer whose commitment to

animal welfare matches her own. “I am vegan and I live a vegan lifestyle. I am

animal-product free and honored to represent a sustainable brand,” she

proclaimed.

Though the carefree calendar is almost certain to delight fans, whimsical photo

shoots only represent one side of what Cyrus has been up to lately. She was

among the performers on hand in Washington, D.C., for the student-led anti-gun

demonstration March for Our Lives, where she delivered a stirring performance

of “The Climb.” “I was so inspired by the youth of [Marjory Stoneman Douglas

High School] and proud to be a part of such an incredible moment/movement,”

said Cyrus, who considers the day one she’ll never forget. “It was amazing to

watch these young people speak and perform. Hopefully, we will begin to see the

change and watch these incredible students have an enormous impact on the

government and gun laws.” Cyrus said she will continue to support the causes she

believes in, including through her nonprofit, the Happy Hippie Foundation. “I’ve

got a microphone,” she said, “and I’m not afraid to use it!”
