With temperatures topping 30C in Berlin, Germany, on Monday, locals ensured they dressed for the weather in loose-fitting, short outfits.

So it’s little wonder Miley Cyrus looked as though as she was suffering as she sported a skintight leather dress for an outdoor interview in the sweltering heat in the German city.

The 20-year-old singer gasped and pulled at the neckline of the figure-hugging ensemble as she promoted new track We Can’t Stop with local television crews.

Not the best choice of outfit? Miley looks uncomfortable in a sexy black leather dress

Can’t breathe! The star pulls a funny expression to indicate her discomfort

The singer was visibly uncomfortable as she fidgeted, clutched a hand to her throat and pulled faces as if she was gasping for air.

She wore her short blond hair swept to one side and added some interest to her black dress with her hot pink nails and white stiletto heels.

Meanwhile the singer has announced that her album’s second single, 23, is set to be released on August 26th.

She also revealed that the track will feature rappers Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J.

The former Hannah Montana star has increasingly revealed a raunchier side to herself.

She recently told MailOnline that she did not ‘necessarily love’ her teen idol past and was not concerned about adopting a new image.

Not impressed: Miley looks a little tired and downbeat in the impractical dress

It’s too hot: Miley evidently wanted to make her discomfort known

She said  ‘I wasn’t really worried about it because I feel that time was something that I had to do what everyone has to do – work at something that you don’t necessarily love to get to be able to do what you do love,’ she admitted.

She went on: ‘I would say everyone has to start from the bottom, to get where they want to go and work on things they don’t really care about doing.

‘So I had to do that for five years. I had to work on something that wasn’t really a passion for me just because I wanted to be able to get here, so when I was older I’d be able to just do what I want and not have to work for money.’

Always on her mind: Of course the subject of Liam Hemsworth had to come up
