Tracing Pop Icon Kylie Minogue’s Life in Looks, From the Stage to Her Music Videos
The pop legend looks back on her best fashion moments, from the ’80s and beyond….
In the early-aughts, when Minogue was a well-established global pop star, one of her most iconic looks was for the music video for 2001’s smash hit “Cant Get You Out of My Head,” in which she wears that iconic white hooded catsuit designed by Mrs Jones. “It didn’t look like much on the hanger,” Minogue recalls. “It took some ingenuity to make it hang like that on me, but it more than did its job. It became iconic. The video is quite futuristic and we were inspired by Grace Jones.” Another favorite moment from the early 2000s? The spring 2003 Balenciaga dress she wore in her “Slow” music video, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière. “We filmed this in Barcelona at the Olympic swimming pool,” she says. “I was trying to make things not too hot, and it ended up being a hot video—all these gorgeous people in their bikinis and swimming trunks on their towels!”
As for some of her more recent fashion moments, Minogue recalls her Glastonbury performance just last year, when she performed in the “Legends” time slot wearing a glistening crystal dress. “When this dress is under light, it just shimmers,” she says. “Every crystal is put on by hand.” Her glamorous ensemble aside, the set was also a full-circle moment for Minogue. “I was due to headline [Glastonbury] in 2005… but I was diagnosed with breast cancer, so I had to cancel,” she says. “As the years went by, I thought, ‘I’ve missed that moment.’ But I got there in the end.”
