Miley Cyrus steals the show with her daring performance, overshadowing Katy Perry at the music awards event.

At just 17 years old, Miley Cyrus is proving she’s all grown up as she strutted her stuff in some daring outfits at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Canada. The young pop sensation flaunted her bronzed skin in a couple of risqué ensembles while taking the stage to perform and accept an award in Toronto. While Katy Perry opted for a glitzy vintage outfit that hugged her curves, Cyrus definitely turned heads in a revealing black leotard paired with leather hotpants.

Dressed as a voodoo princess, Cyrus took the stage in a white leotard to perform her latest single Can’t Be Tamed. At the beginning of the awards show, the 17-year-old wowed the audience by singing last year’s hit Party In The U.S.A. in a sultry black outfit. During her performance, she was joined by Justin Bieber, who seemed unfazed by their close dance moves. Changing the lyrics of the song to mention Bieber, the surprise appearance of the Canadian pop star delighted the younger fans in the crowd. Cyrus’ voodoo-themed performance of Can’t Be Tamed, complete with controversial dance moves, added an edgy flair to the evening’s entertainment.

No longer resembling a virgin: Miley’s outfit seemed to take inspiration from Madonna’s iconic Like A Virgin look. The tight white lace basque she wore was so revealing that it almost showed a little too much to those seated in the front row. Since bidding farewell to her child-friendly TV character Hannah Montana, Cyrus has been shedding her innocent image in favor of a more risqué persona. At recent performances of her song Can’t Be Tamed, the young star even engaged in a staged lesbian kiss with a female dancer. With many young fans present at the MuchMusic Awards, where Cyrus performed, her outfit choices may have been deemed questionable for a family-oriented event given her role as a teen idol.
