Richard Dyer proposes that stars have multiple key features: they are images constructed from a range of materials to be consumed as commodities. They depend on subsidiary media and are made up of meanings that interest audiences. Stars must be simultaneously ordinary and extraordinary, and present and absent for consumers. Miley Cyrus's star image is incoherent, ensuring audiences strive to make sense of her through her products. Her unpredictable behavior and style changes keep audiences interested in completing her image through continued consumption. She applies the paradoxes by alternating between ordinary and extraordinary, and being present and absent from her "old" self through career changes.
