Ciara and Demi Lovato are different when it comes to their musical styles, but the ladies share one thing in common – a passion for skimpy clothing.

The singers widened eyes and dropped jaws as they showed up to Billboard’s Women In Music in New York City on Friday.

While Ciara wowed in a black halter top and mini-skirt set, Demi risked exposure by wearing a black tailored pantsuit and no top to the annual event that honoured a few of the year’s best stand-out female vocalists.

Her barely-there top featured a chrome waistband and one draping piece that flowed to the floor and trailed like a train.

Ciara proudly showed off her toned tummy and the skirt’s thigh-skimming hemline put her gorgeous gams on display too.

Her slender figure got a boost thanks to the belt detail around her waist, while delicate ankle-strapped black heels finished off the ensemble.

Ciara turned this way and that to better show off her unique apparel and her long, sleek black locks.

Demi, meanwhile, enjoyed the spotlight while showing off her décolletage.
