People think I'm just this ratchet white girl... but I work really hard': Miley Cyrus opens up about misconceptions as she poses for leggy new shoot

She's one of the most controversial young stars in the industry at the moment.
But Miley Cyrus has opened up in a new interview, insisting that most views of her are entirely misconceived.
The 20-year-old singer posed in a pair of white knickers, black heels and leaf print top as she said that the party girl image she has obtained over the years is entirely unfair. 

She's just being Miley! Ms Cyrus opened up about misconceptions about her as she posed for a new shoot in Notion magazine

She said: 'People have this misconception of me that I'm just one of these kids on TV and that now I go off and party and I'm just this ratchet white girl, and I'm not.

'I work really really hard, I'm just in a different environment. I'm young and living and in LA which is everyone's dream, you know.'
Miley also said that she had considered dropping her surname and going just by her first name, but eventually decided against it.

She said: 'I was thinking about dropping the Cyrus and just being Miley, but there's something powerful about the fact that my name now is like a household name.
'I'm living it to the fullest. Rather than taking a blessing and making it a curse, it's just like this is what this name is now.'
Miley has reinvented herself since the release of her second studio album back in 2008, and has already enjoyed huge success with her new single We Can't Stop.
