Kylie Minogue has wowed Australian audiences as she kicked off her series of Aussie concerts on Saturday night.
The pint sized pop princess hit the stage at RAC Arena in Perth for the first date of her Tension Tour.
The 56-year-old cut a glamorous figure in a semi-sheer black gown with silver accents.
The almost hip high slits in the frock placed her shapely pins, which were glad in fishnets, on display.
Kylie’s dress included a flowing cape over one shoulder and she had on a pair of knee high patent leather boots.
For makeup, the superstar chose a bold, show-stopping palette with a bright orange eye shadow and a pink lip gloss.

Taking to Instagram to mark the drop, Kylie stunned fans in a pink shirt dress paired with a corset that showed off her incredible figure.
Playfully dancing to her latest song, she formed a heart shape with her fingers, giving followers a cheeky preview of the track.
Speaking about the new track, she said: ‘Last Night I Dreamt I Fell In Love – and I really did!
‘I woke up one morning with the title and idea for this song … it’s amazing to be literally sharing my dreams with you all.
‘I had such a fun day in the studio with my fellow writers and now ALOK has worked his magic and I’m so happy to be releasing this track with him. Happy Valentine’s Day!’
Back in September, Kylie sent fans into a frenzy as she announced a world tour and her upcoming 17th studio album Tension II.

Kylie captioned the post with: ‘TENSION TOUR. You have no idea how hard it has been to keep all the planning and preparation from you. But it’s time and I. CAN’T. WAIT! For more info head to kylie.com/live/ … See you sooonn!!’
She also sent fans wild as she announced her upcoming 17th studio album Tension II.
The album – which was released on October 18 – is a sequel to 2023’s Tension – which received rave reviews from critics.
The Padam Padam hitmaker unveiled her album news with a short Instagram photo montage of herself in a flowing white gown on a beach with a funky beat playing in the background.
Kylie teased in the caption: ‘LOVERS…. TENSION II… The sequel with NINE new tracks will be yours on October 18th!
‘Get ready for your close up… Lead single coming September 27th… LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION But wait! There’s more….’
Kylie released Tension a year ago on Sunday so her over three million followers were delighted to have a whole new body of work so soon after.

Aphrodite is a 2010 album by Kylie while she released Light Years in 2000.
The lead single from the new collection, Lights Camera Action, will be released on 27th September and is available to pre-save now.
Tension II will hope to replicate the success of Tension which outsold the entire top 20 combined on the UK charts, became her ninth No. 1 album, and gave Kylie her second Grammy.
Tension’s lead single Padam Padam was released in May 2023 and is a dance-pop and synthpop song with elements of electronic music and Eastern European sound.
Padam Padam received critical acclaim from music critics, with many praising its catchiness and hook.
It won the inaugural Best Pop Dance Recording award at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards in February.
Kylie screamed with joy on the night when it was revealed she had won her first Grammy in 18 years and her second overall.
Tension owed much of its success to TikTok where Padam Padam went viral, proving the importance of social media in modern releases.

Kylie defeated the ageist industry when, at 55, Padam Padam became her biggest hit in over a decade despite facing an uphill battle at radio.
Major radio stations refused to play Padam Padam, but fans were able to get the track into the UK top 10 through streaming and downloads.
‘Of course, it’s a great moment for me — but it’s a great moment for other artists, women particularly, who have this kind of prejudice or bias against them,’ Kylie told People in 2023.
‘So, like I say, I didn’t set out to do this. I’ve also been the youngest kid where I had to fight to be heard or just occupy my space.
The negative then was, “Well, you’re 18. What do you know?” So, through all the decades of my career, there’s been something, and here we are,’ she continued.
‘I’m really proud to be representing this moment, and guess what? The earth didn’t cave in, and everyone’s having a great time. This is the age I am. What can I do?’
George Griffiths at the Official Charts said: ‘It’s a confident, left-of-centre turn and people have been responding to it because of how confident it sounds, and how much it feels like a Kylie single.’
‘No one else could have probably pulled this song off,’ he added.

Kylie addressed her chart comeback on social media at the time, thanking fans for their support.
‘I can’t thank you enough. My heart is bursting with joy so thank you so so much,’ she gushed.
‘What an incredible, another wild turn in my life and my career’ the Can’t Get You Outta My Head hitmaker continued.
‘Thank you so much for all of your love and support, everyone who has got onto Padam Padam and made this possible for me. I love you, thank you so so much.’
