She may have arrived at Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammys party with boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger but it was Rita Ora who Miley Cyrus showered with affection.

The 22-year-old singer got up close and personal with the blonde beauty, puckering up for a kiss before they danced with their arms around each other at the star-studded bash held at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday night.

While Miley is smitten with Patrick and Rita, 24, is happily dating Ricky Hil, the two stars got cosy as they enjoyed one of music's biggest nights out.

Rita arrived in a long white dress which appeared to take inspiration from Liz Hurley's famed safety pin Versace gown.

Music's top names normally put on quite a show on stage at the annual Clive Davis pre-Grammys gala, but this year the show started early on the event's star-studded red carpet.

As soon as the who's who of the music industry started arriving at the Beverly Hilton, it was immediately clear that it did not matter what you wear as long as your legs took centre stage.

Obviously not shy, the British singer revealed she was wearing no undergarments as the dress had a skin flashing gap across her derriere.

If that was not enough, the cut out started above an impressive thigh high split, that showed off her toned and tanned leg.

For her walk down the red carpet, the 1, 2 Step star also wore a long sleeve dress with a small train and the same shoes as Rita.

One and done: Ignoring the usual red carpet protocol of wearing long dresses, Taylor showed up in a romper that, while rather casual, gave the 25-year-old plenty of opportunity to show off her long legs

Keeping with the legs theme, the 29-year-old's gown split almost all the way up to the top of her left thigh.

And she was not done there, Ciara's dress also featured a plunging cleavage baring neckline and cut out sections on either side of her.

Upping the already very sexy dress' saucy factor, the RnB star wore her long hair in voluminous waves cascading down her back.

Theme dressing: Besides legs, dressing in white was also the order of the day, with many celebrities like Paula Abdul shunning colour on the red carpet

Colour be gone: Also wearing white was Melissa Rivers, who went for a far less dramatic look of a short above the knee textured dress

Besides legs, dressing in white was also the order of the day, with many celebrities shunning colour on the red carpet.

Paula Abdul showed how colour can be the enemy of glamour in a dramatic one shoulder dress.

The 52-year-old looked far younger in the form fitting dress that was made even more eye catching thanks to a large ruffle across the top of the dress' neckline.

Another star ignoring the red carpet gown tradition was Janelle Monae, who set the standard for masculine dressing in a chic re-envisaged tuxedo.

Featuring three-quarter pants and a square shouldered jacket as well as a form fitting shirt with a bow tie of course, the look was still feminine and won top fashion marks.

While last year's Grammys became synonymous with Pharrell Williams' Vivienne Westwood Mountie hat, this year it is all about Janelle's oversize wide brimmed fedoras.

During the day she had worn a red hat to the Roc Nation Brunch but for Clive's she really stepped it up in a giant black version which she wore pushed back on her head.

The floor length gown not only showed off the singer's shapewear, but featured a voluminous train of black netting that exploded from one side and trailed behind her.

Toni meanwhile, showed off more skin than anyone else in a black gown that looked sedate from the front, but when she turned around was completely backless.

The Clive Davis event - which goes by the rather long official title of the pre-Grammy Gala & Salute to Industry Icons with Clive Davis Honouring Martin Bandier - is an industry staple, which not only sees the who's who of the entertainment business come out but has also started some of music's biggest careers.

Known as the Man With A Golden Ear, every year Clive picks a new artist he thinks is the one to watch - and he should know as he has launched more careers than NASA has rockets.
