Kylie Minogue shared her festive cheer with fans in a sexy Santa outfit on Wednesday after achieving her first ever UK Christmas Number 1 single.
The Australian singer, 57, looked incredible as she took to Instagram in a vibrant red velvet jacket with a hooded that had a white faux-fur trim and flared out into a mini skirt.
The jacket was cinched at the waist with a wide, black patent leather belt, which showed off her stunning figure.
She completed the sexy look, which is the same in her XMAS music video, with red and white striped tights and black leather knee-high boots.
Stood in front of a dazzling Christmas tree with fake snow covering the floor, she said in the video: ‘Merry Christmas lovers, I hope you’re having a wonderful time and I send you so much love.’
Penning the fun clip, she added: ‘Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Sending ALL the love ❣️’

It comes after Kylie’s latest track XMAS secured the number one spot in a landmark achievement for the pop star who has missed out for the past 37 years.
She scored her first UK No1 with I Should Be So Lucky in 1987. Meanwhile, Last Christmas, by the late George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley of Wham!, has charted each year since 2007.
Mariah Carey’s 1994 hit, All I Want For Christmas came in at No3 for the second year in a row, with Brenda Lee’s Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree at No4.
The highest new entry, Together For Palestine’s track Lullaby, finished the Christmas race at No5, winning the accolade of being the best–selling track of the week.
More than 15 artists – including Neneh Cherry, Brian Eno and Little Mix’s Leigh–Anne Pinnock – joined forces to make the song as a fundraiser for Gazan children.
Previously posing with her Christmas No1 trophy last week, Kylie said: ‘It’s hard to put into words how special this feels. Being Christmas Number One really is the most wonderful gift!
‘I’m so thankful to everyone who’s been listening and sharing the love and I’m wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!’
XMAS is her eighth number one single and the track is also the first Amazon Music Original ever to reach Number 1 in the Official Christmas Chart.

Kylie’s five previous chart–toppers included I Should Be So Lucky, Tears on My Pillow and Can’t Get You Out Of My Head. One industry insider described her Christmas win as a ‘renaissance.’
This latest achievement follows last week’s chart success of Kylie’s number one album, Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped).
Following a two-time Christmas Number 1 triumph in 2023 and 2024, WHAM!’s classic Last Christmas comes in as runner-up this time around.
Kylie was watched by almost seven million people when she performed the hit on Sunday night’s Strictly, and on Friday morning, she was on the Radio 2 breakfast show with Scott Mills.
Her quest has been helped by XMAS being an Amazon exclusive – meaning that it is placed on playlists of Amazon branded speakers such as Alexa. This contributes to the single’s high streaming figures.
Changes in chart compilation methods – prompted by the decline in physical sales – mean that 100 streams now count as one sale.
This shift has dramatically altered the look of the Christmas charts, favouring established hits and streaming juggernauts.
