Britney Spears glitters in gold after long-awaited return to MTV VMA stage

Britney Spears glitters in gold and dances up a storm in long-awaited return to MTV VMA stage (but shame about the lip-syncing)

Britney Spears returned to the MTV VMA stage for the first time in a decade to perform her brand new single Make Me... on Sunday.
There's no doubt the 34-year-old pop diva was in the best shape of her life during the dance-heavy yet lip-synced rendition of her R&B-influenced ballad.
As she took the Madison Square Garden stage, the 2011 Video Vanguard Award glittered in a gold, plunging leotard with matching choker and high-heeled boots.
She's ba-ack! Britney Spears returned to the MTV VMA stage for the first time in a decade to perform her brand new single Make Me... on Sunday

It was a surprisingly stripped show for bronzed Britney, who kicked off the song in silhouette beneath a large white backdrop.
The Private Show hitmaker sported her signature flaxen hair extensions as she mimed the lyrics of her slow-paced track.
Spears was joined onstage by four female dancers and G-Eazy, who raps on a couple verses of Make Me...
At 6ft5in, the 27-year-old Berkeley native literally towered over the petite 5ft4in Grammy winner.

At one point in the song, Britney put her French manicured hand on the crotch of G-Eazy's black skinny jeans.
The Mississippi-born blonde then crawled between the handsome hip-hop star's - born Gerald Gillum - long legs.
Careful not to cross a line into raunchy, Spears gave G-Eazy a hug and a chaste kiss on the cheek afterwards.

Kim Kardashian West had the privilege of introducing Britney, whom she confessed she was 'obsessed with' on Twitter.
'Can't wait to see how hot you're gonna look tonight! See you 10 seconds after!' Spears - who boasts 99.9M followers - retweeted.  'So ready for this night!'

Cheers! It was excellent timing for the divorced mother-of-two, who dropped her ninth studio album Glory just two days earlier

It's hard to believe it was the same Britney that sported horrendous hair extensions and a worryingly wobbly gait from her ill-fated performance of Gimme More in 2007.
The Pretty Girls singer also famously locked lips with Madonna in a surprise performance featuring once-rival Christina Aguilera to kick off the 2003 show.
