Red hot Britney Spears pole dances and rides a mechanical guitar in a tiny costume as she performs a steamy medley of her greatest hits at the Billboard Music Awards

She may as well have declared to all the other performers set to follow her, 'You better work'.

Britney Spears got the Billboard Music Awards off to a blistering and very, very sexy start.

The 34-year-old set the performance bar very high on Sunday evening at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena as she danced and sung her way through an over five minute long set.

It's Britney! Britney Spears got the Billboard Music Awards off to a blistering and very, very sexy start on Sunday night

It was almost immediately apparent why the star was being awarded the night's biggest honour, the Millennium Award, as she gave fans exactly what they asked for and more.

As she stepped out onto the stage as the night's first live performance, initially the superstar looked a little nervous.

Clad in a circus-inspired sequined ensemble complete with top hat and over-the-knee boots, the singer kicked off her greatest hits medley on a raised platform.

Opening with her 2013 hit Work B***h, at first Britney seemed a little in her own head as she did the complicated dance moves.

But, as soon as the track's thumping bass came in, the superstar was ready to go and all nerves seemed to dissipate.

Strutting down the platform it was clear she planned to do exactly what her song said and 'work'.

And she certainly had the hot body she sang about too, ditching her saucy ring master look, Brit turned up the heat even more.

Let's do this: Clad in a circus-inspired sequined ensemble, the singer kicked off her greatest hits medley on a raised platform and seemed nervous but as soon as the bass of Work B***h kicked in her nerves disappeared

Throwing off the jacket, the blonde revealed an equally sparkly two piece ensemble - which was created by wedding dress designer Mark Zunino - that had just tiny panties and red jewel-encrusted bra.

Adding to the look's sexiness, there was a matching bedazzled choker and strings of beads that fell across her stomach.

While the sequins glistening, it was the singer's body which stole the show and shined the brightest.

The star's Vegas residency and returned dedication to her music ensured that the star's body was as good as it has even been.

The mother of two did not have an inch to pinch over her entire body with her defined abs showcased by the barely-there look.

She paired the daring look with daring footwear namely cage thigh-high boots by Schutz.
