(sfgate.com) - Teen sensation Miley Cyrus prefers to cover up when it comes to fashion, despite recently posing half-naked for a Vanity Fair magazine shoot.
The "Hannah Montana" star sparked controversy when the candid snaps, which show Cyrus posing with her back bare and wrapped in a satin sheet, emerged online, forcing the 15-year-old to issue an apology over the controversial Annie Leibovitz photos.
But she insists she is nothing like that in real life, and likes to wear more "modest" fashion choices when she's out and about.
She says, "All the clothes -- all the short skirts and all that stuff -- my mom would never in a million years let me leave the house like that.
"So I think that a really cool thing that everyone's doing now is layering, just to keep yourself modest and cute.
"My aunt got me a shirt that says, 'Modest is Hottest,' which is totally true."
