She's one of the biggest stars to come out of Australia and always been an icon to the gay community.
So when it came to celebrating her 25th year in the music industry, Sydney Mardi Gras was the perfect occasion to mark Kylie Minogue's Silver anniversary.
The singer, 43, was the guest of honour at the annual gay, lesbian and transgender parade in Sydney's Oxford Street, before performing at the after-party.
When it came to her wardrobe, she didn't disappoint, slipping into two sexy Jean Paul Gaultier creations and a headdress by London milliner Stephen Jones on stage and a daring Pucci backless dress.
The diminutive star, who last attended Mardi Gras in 1998, was honoured with her own Kylie-themed float during the parade, which was witnessed by 300,000 spectators.
Despite the rain, the crowds were in high spirits as they matched the two and a half hour spectacle.
And Kylie was obviously thrilled with her float, writing on Twitter: 'Happy Mardi Gras. Love, love and LOVE!!!.
'Still simply cannot believe the amount of people who were in or helped create the K25 float. #shouldbesleepingbynow.
'ThkU THANK YOU @SydneyMardiGras & Mardigrasland... YOU were amazing... I am #happytiredwiredrelievedamazedgrateful.
'That. was. epic.
'Thank you to everyone who participated in the K25 Mardi Gras floats....#incredible.'
Ahead of her performance at the Hordern Pavilion, Minogue wore a multi-printed Pucci dress, which she posted a photo of on Twitter.
She rote: 'Pucci gives #BACK!!! @SydneyMardiGras.'
As well as performing, Minogue spoke out against Australia's current ban on same sex marriage.
She said: 'Of course I believe that it should be legalised. I always say, love is love is love.
'Hopefully whatever hurdles or obstacles are in the way can soon be banished, that would be great.
'It’s such a great way to celebrate the relationship between the gay community and myself and everything we have been through together.'
