Risqué ladies! Ciara and Demi Lovato take the plunge in cleavage-baring outfits at Billboard's Women In Music event 

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 2015 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.

Ciara, 30, looked somewhere between a catwalk model and a harem princess in her two-piece outfit.

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.

Different and daring: Although their musical styles are different, their cleavage-popping styles were certainly similar at the event that honoured a few stand-out female vocalists

Showcase your figure in a cutout mini by Versus

This dress has just enough fabric to officially consider it clothing.

But working with minimal yardage is quintessentially what Versus Versace does.

So with a super high hem, plunging neckline and cutouts, Ciara walked confidentially into the Billboard music event.

We love the asymmetrical cut to Ciara's dress-- for what it's lacking in length, it makes up for with a long piece of chiffon fabric that cascades to the floor.

The Versus embellished belt cuts through the center of her flesh for some added glitz and glam.

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.
