LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Miley Cyrus says her family draws inspiration from another celeb family — The Spears’!

The pop powerhouse Cyrus family draws inspiration from another celeb-filled family, the Spears’, according to Miley.

“We’re so excited for them and their family just coming out. So empowered,” Miley said of the Spears family. “We just feel so inspired by their family.”

At Sunday’s MTV “Video Music Awards,” Miley told Access Hollywood’s Mel B that the Spears’ and Cyrus’ are close.

“My mom and [Britney] are like great, great friends,” The “Hannah Montana” star told Mel B.

Miley was also inspired by her own mom at Sunday’s awards show — inspired to borrow a pair of her mom’s shoes for the red carpet

“I’m adjusting to these shoes, they’re too small!” Miley said with a tinge of discomfort. “They’re my mom’s. Not good!”

Not letting the inspiration stop with just the Spears family, or her mom’s fashion sense, Miley said her Zac Posen dress made her want to dance in the middle of the red carpet.
“I feel like --I’m like dancing — like salsa!” Miley added.
