Cher wowed the crowd at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas as she performed her hit track Believe in the skimpy outfit.

The dress featured diamante bands which barely covered her breasts and her crotch.

Underneath the raunchy gown, she wore nipple pasties and fishnet tights to preserve her modesty.

It marked her first performance at an awards show in 15 years.

During the event, Cher went on to pick up an Icon Award and she returned to the stage in a raunchy black catsuit to sing If I Could Turn Back Time.

Accepting the Billboard Icon Award from Gwen Stefani, Cher said: “So, I wanted to do what I do since I was four-years-old, and I’ve been doing it for 53 years.

“That is not an applause thing, I’m 71 yesterday! And I can do a five-minute plank, okay? Just saying."

The Sheer number featured well-placed sequin panels which helped keep her somewhat covered up.

Many fans were thrilled to see Cher sporting her trademark sexy outfits despite being in her 70s, but TV host Piers Morgan was not impressed.

Co-host Susanna Reid said: "Oh yes because you have a cut off don't you? What is it... 59?"

Piers clarified it was 56, before highlighting Cher's silver outfit, adding: "That one in particular, come on Cher for goodness sake love."
