Her split from fiancé Liam Hemsworth was confirmed earlier this week amid a slew of yet more criticism for her risqué performance at last month's VMAs. So it was a rather defiant Miley Cyrus who sauntered about Las Vegas wearing nipple pasties beneath an entirely see-through fishnet dress after she took the stage at the iHeart Radio Music Festival on Saturday. Having seemingly paid no attention to the multitude of negative publicity which surrounded her performance at MTV's prestigious awards ceremony, the 20-year-old donned the bizarre outfit after she twerked, poked out her tongue and touched herself during the show. Scroll down for video Ready for this? Miley Cyrus followed up another questionable performance at the iHeart Radio festival in Las Vegas on Saturday by stepping out in a fishnet dress over barely anything else Ready for this?

It's unclear what exactly Miley was going for with this particular outfit, which she topped with a set of furry white sleeves. The top half of her white dress looked much like a hospital-inspired neck brace, whereas her heavy black chain and leather boots and black nipple accessories seemed to spell out somewhat of a bondage theme.

The Toxic singer declared that she herself recalls what it was like to be in Miley's position, saying that the youngster is 'just a ball full of energy.'

The star put extra energy into the performance, days after Hunger Games star Liam was pictured kissing actress Eiza González. At one point, she provocatively caressed the bottom of a female dwarf back up dancer in a move clearly designed to shock.

And Miley ramped up the raunchiness of her performance despite the presence of her mother Tish at the side of the stage. The star was recently forced to defend herself after she was slammed by critics for her antics with a foam finger alongside Robin Thicke onstage at last month's VMAs.

'It is an amazing thing that I think now it is three days later and people are still talking about it,' she gushed. The publicity surrounding the performance appears to have done MIley no harm - her latest single Wrecking Ball recently hit the number one spot on the Billboard charts.

It has been claimed that Liam had been left 'mortified' by Miley's now infamous performance. A source told RadarOnline.com: 'Miley and Liam were already pretty much broken up at that point, but when he saw her performance and the backlash it created, it was the nail in the coffin. 'That was all he needed to finally break up with Miley once and for all. He was embarrassed, disgusted and mortified by her performance.' On Monday, representatives for Miley and Liam confirmed that the pair have ended their engagement and their romance, after having dated for two years. Liam proposed to Miley with a 3.5 carat Neil Lane engagement ring in May 2012, and at the time the Hannah Montana star gushed about her future with the hunky Aussie star. 'I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam,' she told People magazine at the time. The pair first met on the set of the 2010 romantic drama The Last Song, and began dating not long after. But in the last year, they have seemingly struggled with their relationship, breaking up and getting back together several times as each one continues in different directions of their careers.

Arsenal will wear a commemorative shirt to celebrate 100 years in Islington against Stoke City.

The Gunners, who can go top of the Premier League with a win, are to wear the special kit fully endorsed by manager Arsene Wenger.

He told Arsenal.com: 'It's our home, Islington. That's where we feel at home, we know people from the council because we met them.

'I have the right to walk my sheep down there - don't forget that's very, very important! I was very happy when we found the possibility to keep our new stadium in Islington because we looked everywhere with the desire to stay in Islington and the fact that hopefully in the next 100 years Arsenal will stay there is fantastic.'
The North London club have also released a special matchday programme for today's game against Stoke, featuring a supplement of the recreated issue from 100 years ago when they were still based in Woolwich.

Arsenal moved to the Emirates from Highbury in 2006, and Wenger is proud of the community they have built in the area.
'What is great for me is from Highbury you can see the Emirates and that is the continuity and as you 25,000 fans have walked into a half finished Highbury,' he added. 'That reminds me of the first photos on the stand of the Emirates with the lorries still driving in with the rubbish at Islington and that as well was something absolutely amazing.'

Community: Wenger said he has a link with Islington

Back in 1913, with finances in a perilous state, Woolwich Arsenal set about identifying alternative sites across London, eventually settling on the Islington location due to the nearby rail and tube links which offered the potential to attract large crowds from the local area and beyond.
Woolwich was replaced by 'The' in their name, before the club just named themselves Arsenal in 1919.
And now Wenger said: 'I know it [Islington] well because before I stayed a lot at Highbury we went to the restaurants there at lunchtime.
'I know many people who were working in the communities in Islington for a long time so I have a link with Islington. The link for me is with Arsenal so there is a special link and overall I feel at home there.'
