Miley Cyrus Dishes on Her Style, Demi Lovato, and Dating Nick Jonas

Miley Cyrus is known for her successful TV career, movies and music; her very public relationships; and her sense of style. Cyrus candidly discussed all those hot topics in the August issue of Elle magazine.

At the time of the interview, Cyrus was still seeing model Justin Gaston. She told Elle she wasn't impressed with him and was unsure of their relationship.

"We're together, and then again, we're not," she said about the 20-year-old. "Some people see us more as friends and don't get why we work in a relationship. They're like, 'It's weird, best friends shouldn't date!' But the person that you eventually spend the rest of your life with - I'm not saying it's him - why are you going to wake up with someone every day and not want to hang out with them?"

Apart from her relationship with Gaston, she also talked about her friendships with Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas, who she has recently started dating again after her breakup with Gaston.

"It's hard for all of us. That's why me and Nick are so close, and me and Demi Lovato are so close. There are so many people that could be using you," she said. "So me and Nick and Demi, we don't need anything from each other. We got our own thing going on."

Cyrus is currently working hard on several projects, including her new film, "The Last Song". In the issue, she addresses her looks and how her dad encourages her to not change her quirks for anyone, instead explaining to her they make her unique and not just another cookie-cutter Hollywood starlet.

"I like these crooked - I love my teeth," she said. "My dad won't let me fix my teeth or cut my hair. He loves it. He's like, 'It's you!'

Cyrus also talks about her sense of style, noting that she likes to use the term "modest is hottest" when she dresses, keeping in mind that she is a role model for millions of girls who look up to her. That, however, doesn't mean she doesn't like to play dress-up.

"But then, also I end up doing shoots, then I'll do music videos where I'm a little more high-fashion," she explained. "So people look at me in different ways, but for me, every day I want to show what the average girl would wear."
