Kylie Minogue brought the drama to the BRIT Awards black carpet in London on Saturday with her show-stopping outfit.
The music icon, 55, looked incredible in a strapless black velvet dress with dramatic ruffled skirt at the 02 Arena.
Kylie narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction due to its daring thigh-high split as she strutted along the black carpet.
The singer’s black high heels added a boost to her petite frame and she complemented her awards show with drop earrings.
It is a big night for Kylie who is set to return to the BRIT stage for the first time in 16 years after her big hit Padam Padam.

She last performed her hit Wow at the prize-giving bash in 2008.
The singer will be honoured with the Global Icon gong. Kylie has sold over 80M records worldwide and previously won three BRIT awards, receiving first nomination in 1989.
Following the announcement she said: ‘I am beyond thrilled to be honoured with the global icon award and to be joining a roll call of such incredible artists.
‘The UK has always been a home from home so the Brits have a very special place in my heart.
‘I have some amazing memories from the awards over the years and I can’t wait to be back on the Brits stage.’
The BRITs Icon is the highest accolade given by the awards and is reserved for truly exceptional artists, with previous winners being Elton John, Robbie Williams, David Bowie and Taylor Swift.
Kylie will be presented with an award designed by British visual artist and painter Rachel Jones.
It comes after Kylie won her first Grammy Award in 18 years, taking out Best Pop Dance Recording for her 2023 hit single Padam Padam at the 66th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

The ceremony is hosted by Maya Jama, Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo, and will also feature a series of guest presenters throughout.
Dua Lipa is set to open the show with Mastercard while Kylie Minogue will give the closing performance.
Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris, Raye and Becky Hill with Chase & Status will also take to the stage.
A record 98 artists are up for the new 2024 BRIT award, which has been designed by British visual artist and painter Rachel Jones.
Leading the pack is Raye, who has broken the record for garnering the most nominations in a single year, with seven in total.
The British singer, 26, is up for Album Of The Year for her long-awaited debut album My 21st Century Blues. Her third single, Escapism, is nominated for Song of the Year.
Raye is also included in the five strong Best New Artist category and will also compete as a nominee in the categories for R&B Act and Pop Act.
She has beat reigning champions Craig David, Robbie Williams and the Gorillaz who all had been nominated for six awards in previous years.
The non-gendered Artist Of The Year Award sparked outrage last year, after it replaced individual Male and Female categories, but then failed to include any female or non-binary artists among its five nominations.
This year however, thanks in part to the category being doubled in size, there are six female nominees out of the 10, including Raye.
Arlo Parks, Jessie Ware, Lil Simz, Olivia Sims and Dua Lipa make up the female nominees, while Central Cee, Dave, J. Hus and Fred Again… are also nominated.
