Miley Cyrus took a rock chick approach with her outfit at the VH1 Divas concert.

The 20-year-old singer took to the stage in a studded, leather ensemble that consisted of a fierce jacket teamed with skin-tight trousers.

Sky-high boots and a belly chain finished off the daring, bondage-inspired look.

The annual show, hosted by Adam Lambert, paid tribute to the late Whitney Houston who tragically passed away in February.

Earlier, Cyrus arrived in a rather conservative Norma Kamali midi-length dress, complete with high neck and classic court shoes.

The look was given a slight edge thanks to cut out detail at the side and her platinum blonde crop.

The elegant frock was a complete contrast to the hell for leather look she later donned to belt out Billy Idol's Rebel Yell hit.

Newly-engaged Kelly Clarkson was also on hand to perform at the concert and the 30-year-old wasn't shy about showing off her huge yellow diamond.

The American Idol winner accessorised her ring with a stunning floor-length dress, complete with an intricate patchwork design.

Other stars of the night included Demi Lovato looking demure in a little black dress and Jordin Sparks, who went for full-on glamour in a dress with a thigh-high slit.
