Miley strikes a pose for the May 2014 cover of ELLE  Do you like this look on the pop star?

The 21-year-old is Elle magazine’s May cover star, and aside from that sweet, sparkly Marc Jacobs outfit she has on, what caught our attention throughout the entire shoot was how serious she looks.

Inside the mag, she talks about everything from Disney to how she connects with her fans, and even though she looks amazing in pieces by Saint Laurent and Christian Louboutin (and we appreciate her keeping her tongue in her mouth) we have to admit we would have liked to see a smile or two.
