Miley Cyrus reveals too much in a cutaway shirt (7 PICS)

Careful! Miley Cyrus nearly revealed a bit too much in a cutaway white shirt as she ran around in Los Angeles today

She was once the role model for millions of teenage girls around the world, thanks to her starring role in the hit Disney series Hannah Montana.

And now Miley Cyrus is using her power and influence to try and educate young women on the 'beauty' of sex.

The 19-year-old singer opened up during an interview on The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet, insisting that there is no reason that sex should be a taboo subject.

Miley, who is dating The Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth, said: 'The girls that really base how much they’re worth on the sexual favors they can do for somebody, that makes me really sad. Because sex is actually really beautiful.

'It’s the only way we create, and it’s the only way the world keeps going. So it’s ignorant not to talk to your kids about it or not make it seem as magical or cool as it actually is. Kids have a TV, so they know what sex is. 

'So educate them and let them know… it’s a beautiful thing, and it is magic, and it’s when you connect with somebody.

'And it isn’t how much you’re worth. Your worth isn’t based on that, your worth is based on how you feel about yourself.'

Miley's comments came as she was seen out and about in Los Angeles, having fun while driving her one of her neighbours' classic cars.

However, the teen star perhaps hadn't seen quite how much skin she was flashing in her cutaway vest top.

But as she ran along, Miley narrowly avoided an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction by holding down the side of the top to avoid showing off a bit too much flesh.

Miley teamed her white top with a pair of skinny blue jeans, with the cutaway design of the T-shirt top also drawing attention to the large dreamcatcher tattoo the actress has inked along her ribcage.
