NEW YORK - As Miley Cyrus rocks out in the third season of "Hannah Montana," she channels Madonna circa 1985.



And, somehow, on this cute and playful 15-year-old, tiered miniskirts, leopard prints and fingerless gloves look good - so get ready for masses of mini-Montanas to emulate the look of the tween favorite, even if they are too young to know its true origin.

The look was created mostly for Cyrus' on-stage persona Hannah to wear, said costume designer Dalhia Foroutan, but hints of the '80s have crept into most of the cast's wardrobe.

The teenage stars are too young to remember ripped-neck sweatshirts or leg warmers the first time around, but they do recognize it as retro and think it's cool, she said.

Foroutan also works with Cyrus on her concert wardrobe and has also slipped in some intentional flashbacks from Madonna's "Lucky Star" and "Like a Virgin" days.
