Miley Cyrus has voiced her regret at posing topless for a Vanity Fair photoshoot.

The 16-year-old told The Times that the subsequent scandal over the Annie Leibovitz shots caused her to question her judgment.

She said: "It was one honestly dumb decision. You know, there's a first time for everything. It was my first time working with a big photographer.

"I think I just kinda got put under pressure and that's OK, because I learned a lot from it. And I just know to trust my better judgment and my thought and my gut feeling. And so I just think, 'Be a little more careful next time.'"
