This is the music video for Miley Cyrus' song "Can't Be Tamed". She is almost consistently wearing the same outfit throughout the video, unlike Katy Perrys "California Gurls" video. However, the outfit she wears is like a leotard in style, with lots of feathers surrounding her. In the establishing shot, she is presented as a zoo exhibit and is therefore objectified from the get go, because she is caged and is being stared at by onlookers. Throughout the video she dances in a sexually provocative manner, even going so far as to pole dance on one of the bars of her cage. She also suggestively dances with many different partners, hinting at having no boundaries when it comes to sex, as one of them is female. The outfits, dancing, and makeup of Miley Cyrus leave no doubts to the presentation of her as a sex object, albeit of a darker tone to the candyfloss sweet sex object of Katy Perrys representation.
