Recognized within the Icon category of Time Magazine’s annual list, the 55-year-old Australian singer-songwriter joined the 100 Most Influential People ranks across various domains such as film, music, sports, and beyond.
The event, hosted by Taraji P. Henson, showcased a stellar lineup including Dua Lipa, 21 Savage, Mark Cuban, Patrick Mahomes, America Ferrera, Colman Domingo, Elliot Page, Sofia Coppola, and many others, all acknowledged for their significant impact and contributions.
Shimmering Elegance in Black Elie Saab Cut-Out Gown
For the glamorous occasion, Kylie Minogue commanded attention, stepping onto the red carpet in a dazzling display that evoked the spirit of a shimmering disco ball.
While I must admit the geometric bralette top of her Elie Saab gown isn’t quite my cup of tea, I can’t deny the allure of its intricate detail.

Adorned with glittering silver crystals and bold cut-outs across the chest and shoulders, the ensemble undoubtedly showcased Kylie’s sartorial flair. Although I have some reservations about the top, she looked stunning.
The sleeveless sequined top beautifully accentuated her well-defined arms, effortlessly shifting into a chic black skirt that delicately draped over her slender frame.

One aspect of the Neighbours star’s attire that I particularly appreciate is the thigh-high slit running along the side of her floor-length gown.
Not only did it add a touch of sultry sophistication to her look, but it also offered a tantalizing glimpse of her leg.
Heeled Perfection in Silver Christian Louboutin Degrasandal Queen
The split in Kylie Minogue’s gown also allowed her choice of footwear to steal the spotlight, contributing to the overall radiance of her appearance.
I find it admirable how she skillfully complemented the glitzy details of her dress by slipping into a pair of silver Christian Louboutin sandals from the French fashion designer’s Summer 2024 wedding capsule collection.

Her choice of heels, the Degrasandal Queen, is undoubtedly enchanting. Its architectural lines and captivating design showcased Maison Christian Louboutin’s expertise.
I particularly like the crisscrossing pattern along the almond toe, crafted with two PVC straps with hand-placed strass.

The sandal’s transparent silver laminated leather, combined with metallic ankle straps and 100 mm stiletto heels, not only added height but also exuded elegance and sophistication.
Glamorous Sparkling Accents and Finishing Touches
Credit must be given to Kylie Minogue’s stylist, Frank Strachan, for his impeccable taste in accessorizing her ensemble with sparkling accents, effectively enhancing her overall look.
I appreciate how she elevated her appearance and exuded even more glamour by adorning herself with diamond jewelry, including a stunning bejeweled bangle bracelet and a matching ring.
The Street Fighter actress opted for a matching silver drawstring handbag with a hoop handle embellished with dazzling details to complete her outfit.

Regarding her makeup, I like how Kylie accentuated her naturally lovely features with a delicate hint of rosy blush and a smooth application of shiny neutral lipstick.
Meanwhile, she wore her luminous blonde tresses parted in the center, cascading gracefully down her shoulders, completing her look with a touch of timeless glamour.
Following the ceremony, Kylie Minogue took to Instagram, generously sharing captivating images and video clips with her followers.
