Britney Spears kicked off her two-year, $30 mil Planet Hollywood Resort residency in Vegas on Friday night, serenading the crowd with renditions of her greatest hits such as "Toxic," "Circus," "Crazy," and "Womanizer" (here's the full set list). There were also wigs, costume changes, hunky male backup dancers in crop tops, and Britney floating down to earth in an enormous angel costume.
The spectacle drew celebrities like Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, who just couldn't help but try to upstage Spears by dramatically making out with one of her female backup dancers. Oh, and there was a (planned) cameo by a very game Mario Lopez, who Britney harnessed, leashed and lead around on his hands and knees.
Take a look at the best costume changes and events, below.
Whoa, Mario.
