Kylie Minogue surprised this Monday at the Met Gala in New York.
The Australian pop star, 55, embodied a twist on the event’s ‘Sleeping Beauties’ theme, looking regal in a sheer devoré denim knit dress.
But while the denim elements gave the Padam Padam hitmaker a modern twist, Kylie’s dress honored the spirit of fairy tales and princesses with thousands of microcrystals sewn into the fabric.
The outfit, designed by the Diesel brand’s creative director Glenn Martens, sparkled when the cameras flashed.
speaking to Fashion Previously, Martens said that “it must look like Kylie has been sleeping in this dress for hundreds of years.” Leaving parts of the fabric dissolved around the contours of her body.

The Costume Institute’s Spring Exhibition is held on the first Monday in May each year and is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
This year the event is titled Sleeping Beauties: Fashion Awakening, while the dress code is The Garden of Time.
Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth are this year’s co-chairs. Also on the committee is Vogue Anna Wintour.

Honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.
“This year’s co-chairs reflect a variety of professional accomplishments and all have distinct style stories with the Met Gala,” Vogue shared.
The exhibit will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute’s permanent collection, and many of the pieces are too fragile to be worn again.
Speaking previously to Vogue, Martens said that “it must look like Kylie has been sleeping in this dress for hundreds of years.” Leaving parts of the fabric dissolved around the contours of her body.
All pieces will be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI and more while playing land, sea and sky themes.
“It’s very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,” Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu curator in charge of the Costume Institute, said of the upcoming exhibition.
“One thing I hope this exhibition activates is that sensory appreciation of fashion.”
Guests expected to attend include the Kardashians, Blake Lively, Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker and Timothee Chalamet.
Gwendoline Christie, La La Anthony and Ashley Graham will host, while YouTuber Emma Chamberlain is expected to interview the stars on the red carpet.
Last year’s gala paid tribute to the late designer Karl Lagerfeld.
