By

Miley Cyrus presented Marc Jacobs and his business partner Robert Duffy with the Superstar Award at Fashion Group International's 30th Annual Night of Stars on Tuesday, Oct. 22, leaving many to wonder what kind of surprises they could expect from the Wrecking Ball singer. A slew of celebs showed up for the glamorous event, and ET got a few of their reactions to Miley's new, sexier persona. 

"You never know what to expect from her," Jacobs said with a smile. While the 50-year-old fashion designer has had limited interactions with the 20-year-old pop star, he admitted to being a fan of her courage, adding, "I wish the world was full of more people who just did what they felt like."
