Showcasing her tiny frame in her skimpy choice of ensemble, the Wrecking Ball hitmaker chose a somewhat unusual outfit given that she was attending a star-studded awards ceremony.
Miley shunned a fancy gown in favour of a backless halter top with drawstring detail at the front and sides, with very little protecting her modesty as the audience looked on.
The controversial star’s top was emblazoned with the images of rappers Tupac and Biggie Smalls, with the word ‘VIOLENCE’ running along its hem and the rather telling comment, ‘Please Stop’ adorning her rear.

Featuring a conservative high neck and flattering knee-length hem, Katy’s choice of outfit stood in stark contrast to the flesh-flashing dresses most of her peers opted for.
Sheer daring! Continuing her penchant for wearing very little to high-profile events of late, Ellie Gouding opted for a daring sheer lace gown as she hit the red carpet
