Australian singing sensation Kylie Minogue has brought Madonna-like fashion and flare to the Outback. This startling beauty, made famous by her role on Neighbours and more recently her skyrocketing singing career, has since become not only a fashion icon, but also an avid figure in the battle against cancer and the fight for gay rights.
Kylie’s fashion is at once risky and bold and yet respectful and timeless—a perfect blend for this multifaceted female superstar. In high fashion clothing and designer sunglasses she puts on Ray Ban Wayfarers, a style that was popular fully thirty years ago. She is an icon to be emulated and respected.
Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and though she suspended her tour, post surgery and chemotherapy she resumed touring and currently has an international tour scheduled. Though originally misdiagnosed (while the cancer spread internally) the illness was spotted in time to battle the disease. The battle brought new elements to Minogue’s character and earned her widespread support and respect. Her children’s book, The Showgirl Princess (written while in hospital) was widely received—and even Prime Minister John Howard issued a statement of support for her cause.
Additionally, she has been an icon in the gay community – visiting Ellen Degenere’s talk show in the USA and using suggestively homosexual backup dances while citing her support for this underrepresented group.
