Jennifer Lawrence says Miley Cyrus’ gold ‘Flowers’ dress was a ‘coincidence,’ not ‘shade’

Jennifer Lawrence’s relationship with Miley Cyrus is good as gold.

During Monday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” the Oscar winner shut down the “total rumor” that she and “Hunger Games” co-star Liam Hemsworth had an affair — along with speculation that his ex-wife, Miley Cyrus, called her out with the help of a certain gold dress.

In January, fans had a field day on social media when Cyrus — whose on-and-off relationship with Hemsworth spanned more than a decade — sported a vintage lamé Yves Saint Laurent look in her “Flowers” music video that somewhat resembled the gilded Prabal Gurung gown Lawrence wore to the “Hunger Games” premiere in 2012.

Of the two dresses’ side cutouts and high shine, Lawrence told Cohen, “I just assume that was, like, a coincidence.”

She also said that while she and Hemsworth did “kiss one time” offscreen, it happened “years after” he and Cyrus had split.

In a viral TikTok from January, creator Putter Jax hailed Cyrus, 30, as the “queen of shade” for selecting the golden garment for her “Flowers” visuals, showing footage of both stars’ looks and asking, “A not so subtle hint?”

The song’s lyrics seemed to offer a glimpse inside Cyrus and Hemsworth’s failed marriage; the two wed in December 2018 but separated less than a year later, and their divorce was finalized by January 2020.

“We were good / We were gold / Kind of dream that can’t be sold,” Cyrus sings. “We were right / ‘Til we weren’t / Built a home and watched it burn.”

Her gold dress wasn’t the only “Flowers” outfit fans scrutinized for clues; some also suspected Cyrus wore one of Hemsworth’s old suits in another scene, though her look was eventually confirmed to be a new Saint Laurent design.

The “Wrecking Ball” hitmaker denied “Flowers” is about her relationship with Hemsworth in a recent British Vogue interview, saying, “I never need to be a master at the craft of tricking an audience.”

And with Hemsworth having moved on with model Gabriella Brooks, Cyrus dating Maxx Morando and Lawrence married to Cooke Maroney, one would hope all involved parties have since moved on.
