Red carpet fashion can be tricky, with most starlets choosing sex over style.

But Selena Gomez can do both, as she proved with the daring dress she wore to sashay down the red carpet at the MTV VMAs in New York on Sunday evening.

The 21-year-old looked ravishing in a dark blue Atelier Versace gown, which was - barely - held together with silver clasps.

Stylish and sexy: Selena Gomez, 21, wore a daring Atelier Versace dress to the MTV Video Music Awards in Brooklyn on Sunday

The hooks artfully left open, Selena wowed onlookers by revealing a risqué sheer black bustier beneath.

Continuing the theme, even her shoes left little to the imagination - the upper being see-through, with just a black triangle on the toe.

The former Disney star perfectly complemented her dress perfectly with a slick of dark red lipstick and matching nails.

Long emerald-green earrings were the only jewellery the Wizards of Waverly Place actress chose to accessorise with.

Not wanting to overshadow the dress, her hair had been minimally styled in a straight waterfall over one shoulder.

Selena appeared to have taken inspiration from another famous Versace dress - the famous 'safety pin' dress worn by Elizabeth Hurley to the 1994 premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral.

Come & Get It is the lead single of Gomez's 2013 album, Stars Dance.

Although she looked remarkably fresh-faced at the awards show, she is currently in the middle of a 56 city world tour for the album.

Having just played at various cities in Canada, the starlet will have a few days of rest before jetting to Copenhagen on August 30 to kick off the European leg of her tour.

She loves to shock but even hardcore Miley Cyrus fans may have thought her performance at the MTV VMAs was too much.

The 20-year-old singer was joined by singer Robin Thicke on stage for a rendition of his hit single Blurred Lines and wasted no time stripping down to a tiny gold bikini.

Miley then proceeded to shake her pert derrière in the 36-year-old star’s face and draped herself all over him during the family friendly show.

Clearly enjoying herself, Miley’s couldn’t help her signature move of sticking out her tongue as she writhed and gyrated around the married father-of-one, who looked dapper in a black and white striped suit.

Rapper 2Chainz and hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar may have been disappointed not to have gotten the same treatment when they also joined the pair on stage for Give It 2 U.

Miley looked like she was having the time of her life on stage with Robin but many celebrities were unimpressed and took to Twitter to slate her

Before her duet with Robin, Miley hit the stage dressed in a teddy bear inspired strapless leotard to sing We Can’t Stop.

She was joined by a host of backing dancers wearing giant teddybears, giving the impression the toys had come to life to dance with her.

Intimate: Miley thrusted her crotch in the audiences' faces

Even upon arrival the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Miley made sure all eyes were on her as she danced her way down the red carpet in front of screaming fans.

While she’s famous for her twerking skills, the Can’t Be Tamed singer decided to try out some new moves for her audience.

If Miley’s dancing wasn’t guaranteed to get the attention of the crowd, her outfit certainly did, as she stepped out in a bejewelled, vintage Dolce & Gabbana ensemble consisting of a crop top, which showed off her washboard abs, and matching pants.

She finished off with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and black Mary Jane peep-toes.

Cyrus’ blonde hair was pulled back in her new favourite style, two mini buns, and she opted for dramatic red lipstick to complete the daring look.

It’s no wonder Miley was in high spirits, as it was revealed before her red carpet appearance that she is to collaborate with Robin Thicke to Blurred Lines at the show.

‘They're friends and she loves the song. It's amazing. She comes out of a giant bear wearing a very provocative outfit,’ an excited pal told Us Weekly.

Miley and Robin both took to Twitter earlier in the day to tweet about the show but didn’t give any hint about their performances.

Miley wrote ‘Today's already the f***ing best day ever! Just wait till VMAs tonight’ while 36-year-old Robin added ‘Who's ready for my performance at the @MTV #VMA's tonight? #VoteThicke.’

REVEALED: THE SMITH'S WERE REACTING TO GAGA, NOT MILEY

An image of the Smith family's priceless face during Miley's jaw-dropping performance became an instant internet sensation, but it turns out the reaction was actually captured during Lady Gaga's act. 'They were watching Lady Gaga's show-opening performance of Applause,' MTV clarified on Monday.

Miley showed she has no intention of curbing her raunchy image and in fact the only thing she shed was her clothes as she stripped down to a bikini to perform Blurred Lines with Robin after first singing her own hit We Can’t Stop.

While celebrities including Ellie Goulding sang along at the Barclays Center, others weren’t so kind with both Jaime King and Brooklyn Decker taking to Twitter to slam the young starlet.

Neither actress was impressed with Miley’s performance, which included her shaking her butt in Robin’s face and rubbing up against him, and both made veiled but catty comments on the social networking site.

Brooklyn wrote, ‘I’m so uncomfortable’, while Jamie added ‘A certain mortification swells over me when I watch certain performers.’

English singer/actress Minnie Driver tweeted: '@vma Miley Cyrus needs an early night.'

Miley recently addressed all the attention she's been receiving for her provocative style and love of twerking, noting that it's just a natural part of her growth.

'It's called puberty,' Miley said. 'Everyone's done it from the beginning of time. I'm just doing it, so you're zooming in on it and you're fascinated by it.'

What the...? Rihanna, Niall Horan and Harry Styles looked uncomfortable during the performance
