Make-up free Miley Cyrus slips into bottom-skimming gym shorts as she goes dog-walking with a female friend

More often than not she's pictured sporting some variety of outrageous costume but Miley Cyrus took a break from acting up to her Instagram followers when she stepped out on Monday.

Miley, 22, cut an uncharacteristically low-key figure as she enjoyed a day of dog-walking with a girl friend in Calabasas, California.

The Wrecking Ball hit-maker sported a simple ensemble which comprised a pair of super-short black gym shorts - with Lycra knickers worn underneath to protect her modesty - and a grey vest top which featured a print of the American flag on the back.

Miley's lean legs were highlighted in the comfy shorts which skimmed her bottom cheeks.

She gave her skin a welcome break from make-up and bared her untouched face which appeared to be blemish-free.
