BATTLE OF THE BOOBS!!! RIHANNA AND MILEY CYRUS STEP OUT IN REVEALING OUTFITS AT THE AMFAR GALA!!!

Miley Cyrus and Rihanna's cleavage-baring styles left little to the imagination at the amfAR Inspiration Gala in Hollywood on Wednesday night.Miley, 21, stunned in a jaw-dropping Tom Ford bondage-inspired dress, featuring a few strategically-placed strips of cloth to cover her chest.
