She’s infamous for her penchant for showing too much flesh. 

And Miley Cyrus was clearly in a cheeky mood on Tuesday as she stepped out in hotpants that were too small for her already petite frame. 

The 22-year-old actress and singer displayed her derriere in very tiny drawstring shorts while stocking up on supplies in the Los Angeles neighbourhood of Studio City.

The We Can’t Stop hitmaker made her way out of CVS, carrying a giant bag of purchases and a black tote bag.

It was a very casual day out, as the make-up free star also sported a blue sweatshirt and blue and pink Nike sneakers.

Miley had her cell in hand, perhaps waiting to hear back from her boyfriend, Patrick, 21. 

That day, the Hannah Montana star Instagrammed a photo of herself looking frustrated, emblazoned with the words, ‘When bae doesn’t text you back.’

She later Instagrammed another photo of herself checking her phone and looking pleased, with the words: ‘When bae texts you back.’

On Friday, Patrick hung out at the H&M Coachella party in Indio – while Miley was miles away in the studio with rumoured former beau Mike Will Made-It.

Miley Instagrammed several photos as she worked on new music with Mike – who previously produced her Bangerz album.

The friends – who reportedly secretly dated for nearly a year during that time – are seen messing around in a studio with Miley in a very low-cut colourful onesie and a red beanie.

In one explicit image shared to her Instagram on Friday, Miley revealed her breasts which were covered up with glitter Band-Aids.

And on Saturday morning, she Instagrammed a photo lying in bed, wearing the same outfit.

She captioned it: ‘dat day all yo fwends are at coachella still tweakin & u juzzz at home cuddlin yo pups in zit cream and nipple pasties #iliterallywokeuplikedis’

Before Coachella, Miley took a trip to Big Sur, California, accompanied by her personal assistant and BFF Cheyne Thomas.

Around that time, Patrick enjoyed a cozy dinner outing with 17-year-old actress Bella Thorne.

But the redheaded actress took to Instagram to assure her followers that the duo’s relationship is merely platonic.

‘With my homie @patrickschwarzenegger if you aren’t already following him you should,’ Bella wrote alongside a selfie of the duo, adding: ‘Disclaimer *** we are just friends.’

Patrick and Miley’s time apart comes after they reportedly hit a rough patch when Patrick was seen looking very friendly with some bikini-clad beauties on a spring break trip to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico last month.

They appeared to have moved on from the scandal, however, being pictured together on a couple of outings in Los Angeles afterward.
