Kylie Minogues Costume and Fashion Inspiration

What better performer to start off with than Kylie Minogue for costume inspiration!

We know Kylie has been around for a long time and granted she had a patch where she was not so popular when she was testing out new types of music and looks and probably at that age where she was finding her indentity, although I have always loved her. She can do no wrong in my eyes. She looks amazing for her age, shes beat cancer, came back stronger and her fashion and stage wear has been incredible and stood the test of time.

Remember the classics? Lets rewind...

We all know the famous catsuit she wore in "Cant get you out of my head"


Before that, the famous gold hotpants in "I'm spinning around"? Safe to say they had heads spinning around.



And before that... back when she first hit the big time in her singing career remember the video to "Put your hands on your heart"? Remember the dresses with the big love hearts on them in all different colours? Here they are...








I would definately wear these dresses today and I think a lot of other people would too, whereas, there are not a lot of artists out there that you would wear what they wore in the late 80's! Shes amazing and her style is timeless.

So with those simple classics I move onto her STAGE COSTUME!

Kylie did her Showgirl tour in 2006. The tour was divided into seven strong acts: Showgirl, Smiley Kylie, Denial, What Kylie Wants, Kylie Gets, Dreams, Kylesque, Minx in Space. A designers dream to be able to play with so many themes and get lost in your imagination. The stage wear consisted bedazzled costumes that looked like they came right out of the The Carnaval Festival in Rio. No detail was spared with over the top feathers of every kind and colour, rhinestones, beading, trimming and all sorts of fabric and textures.

Her costumes are extravagant to say the least but full of detail, imagination and inspiration. And even though they are so out there, there is a sheek quality to them and a couture feel aswell as 1920's mix in there too. Prepare to be inspired! So here are some of my favourite stage costumes by Kylie, enjoy!
