Watch your step: Miley Cyrus performs a balancing act as she negotiates a flight of steps in killer heels at the launch of her new album in Madrid earlier today
Teen queen Miley Cyrus needed a helping hand tonight as she struggled to negotiate a flight of of steps in killer seven inch heels.
The 17-year-old singer and actress kept her balance in the peep-toe, Louboutin ankle boots by firstly clinging on to a wall and then by grabing the hand of an assistant who guided her down safely.
Miley, who performed at a music festival in Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday night was at the Villamanga Hotel in the Spanish capital Madrid to launch her new album 'Can't Be Tamed' .
She is hoping sales of the CD will emulate those of her debut album Breakout which hit the top of the charts in the US in its first week of release in 2008.
Miley's spectacular ankle boots add seven inches to her height
Dressed in high-waisted black trousers and striped, cut-away vest top revealing a black bra, Miley looked a million miles away from the girl who shot to fame playing wholesome Hannah Montana in the hit Disney TV series.
The teenager has come under fire recently for her revealing outfits which have been criticised for being inappropriate for her young age.
On stage at the Rock in Rio festival this weekend she drew gasps from the audience as she strutted in a skimpy green corset.
And the video for the title track of her new album has been condemned for its overtly sexual content.
But she said: ‘The video isn’t about being sexy or about who can wear less clothes. It’s about explaining the song and living the lyrics.’
The daughter of country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley is currently dating Australian actor Liam Hemsworth, 19, who is her co-star in the movie The Last Song released earlier this year.
Phew: Miley breaths a sigh of relief as she makes it safely down
