Cyrus centre of attention again at MTV bash

Miley Cyrus made her memorable red carpet appearance at the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards, flashing the flesh in a backless mini-dress.

The former Hannah Montana star wore the skimpy outfit – printed with the words "Please Stop Violence" and the faces of late rappers Tupac and Notorious BIG - which she teamed with thigh-high boots.

The 19-year-old, who is up for four awards including Best Female and Best Pop, was not the only one showing some skin.

Ellie Goulding looked stunning in a black lace dress by Dolce and Gabbana, while Eva Simon chose a graphic printed outfit.

US singer Katy Perry went for a more demure look in a mint green dress and heels.

The songstress admitted she was missing her musician boyfriend John Mayer but has been indulging in some shopping.

She said: “My plan for tonight if I win is the same as if I don't win - I'm just gonna have fun. A lot of girls that I love to hang out with are here, like Rita Ora and Iggy Azalea and Ellie Goulding, I like those girls and we're gonna hang out and have a couple of glasses of champers.”

The 28-year-old star stunned on the red carpet in a Zac Posen dress, a vintage headband she bought in Tokyo and Chanel earrings.

Meanwhile, Ron Burgundy - comedian Will Ferrell's hapless newsreader character from hit movie ‘Anchorman’ - was confused as to which country he was in.

He said: "I didn't even realise it was in Amsterdam. I've been trying to get to Krakow (Poland). I got on the wrong plane. Oh well. Every November I spend time in Poland."

Asked what he had been doing since he landed in Amsterdam, he replied: "I've been to the Green Light district. It's all about ecology. A lot of recycling goes on there."

The funnyman is set to help host the ceremony by providing his own unique updates throughout the show.
