The singer performed the single, “This Is Us,” with Jimmie Allen.
It wasn’t the song but her outfit that caused buzz.
Cyrus rocked out in a sheer bodysuit with strategically placed rhinestones, thigh-high white boots, long white gloves and a white cowboy hat.
The “Is she naked or not” look won Miley’s younger sister both praise and condemnation on social media.
She donned a slightly more sedate look for her red carpet: a denim outfit that included a midriff-baring halter top and cowboy hat.
