Miley Cyrus dons pageboy cap as she belts I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow at AFI tribute to George Clooney

The American Film Institute gave its Lifetime Achievement Award this year to the grizzled George Clooney, throwing a gala in his honor on Thursday.

Miley Cyrus hit the stage of Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre during the proceedings, singing I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow, per an AFI tweet.

George, who at 57 is 17 years his glamorous lawyer wife Amal's senior, lip-synced the song in his 2000 Coen brothers film O Brother, Where Art Thou?.

Accompanied by a claque of male musicians dressed in frontier chic, Miley performed in a high-waisted pair of black and white pinstripe slacks.

Her artfully rumpled white shirt was tucked in, and the 25-year-old left several buttons undone to reveal her tangle of necklaces.

Sweeping her blonde hair partly back and letting the rest of it fall forward to frame her face, the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus rounded off the look with a pageboy cap.

She was glimpsed backstage hobnobbing with Bill Murray, George's co-star in three films - The Monuments Men, Fantastic Mr. Fox and A Very Murray Christmas.

Miley and Bill were glimpsed enjoying clear iced beverages with lemon in them, beside a table where a bottle of Belvedere vodka was sitting.

They were also photographed hobnobbing with a pair of TV icons - Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox, stars of the 1990s sitcom colossus Friends.
