Miley Cyrus blazes trail for inclusion in NSFW ‘Mother’s Daughter’ video

Miley Cyrus included a slew of cameos and campaigns into her powerful new "Mother's Daughter" music video, which debuted Tuesday morning.

The video has appearances by women of all shapes and sizes, such as model Aaron Philip, dancer Amazon Ashley, performer Angelina Duplisea, model Casil McArthur, skateboarder Lacey Baker, activist Mari Copeny, singer Melanie Sierra, dancer Paige Fralix, dancer Tydryn Scott and model Vendela, as well as Cyrus' own mother, Tish. It also features messaging like "virginity is a social construct," "feminist AF" and "my body my rules.”

Alexandre Moors — who has helmed videos for Kendrick Lamar, Jennifer Lopez, ScHoolboy Q and Miguel — directed the NSFW video from a concept finalized with Cyrus.

Throughout the video, Cyrus is seen in a blood-red latex catsuit, calling back to the memorable outfits worn in Britney Spears’ “Oops!...I Did It Again” and Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” videos. Her version, however, has a notable embellishment: a bejeweled vagina dentata. She’s also wearing gold armor while atop a horse, holding a sword a la Joan of Arc.
