History Music / KylieMinogue

* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: She's practically the patron saint of sparkles and sequins. Hell, one of her perfumes is named "Pink Sparkle" and pretty much everything in her [[http://www.kylieminogueathome.com/home.php Kylie at Home range]] is sparkly.

* ChronicallyKilledActor: A big chunk of her guest roles have her die in various ways, most notably in ''Series/DoctorWho'', where her character commits a HeroicSacrifice, she's the murder victim in "Where The Wild Roses Grow", and she's an earthquake casualty in ''Film/SanAndreas''.

* NonAppearingTitle - ''Kylie'' and ''Kylie Minogue'' but also ''X''.

* OlderThanTheyLook: She's 48. [[http://www.celebzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/kylie-minogue-performs-at-the-zenith-in-lille_1.jpg Do you believe it?]]

* FormerChildStar: Of ''{{Neighbours}}''.

* MaleGaze: Most infamously, the tiny gold shorts from the "Spinning Around" video. JustinTimberlake even took the opportunity to see for himself when the two performed together at the BRIT awards.

* SesameStreetCred: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WgnLfjUguU She's an honorary]] [[Series/TheWiggles Wiggle]].

* NotSafeForWork: The video for "Sexercize".

* TheOner: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQCirTog0cs Come Into My World]]". It's possibly the only video of her that lacks {{Fanservice}}, but is still damn cool.

* TheCutie: Her image during her ''Neighbours'' stint and early solo career positioned her as the cute and wholesome GirlNextDoor who was always smiling and prim.

* AllWomenLoveShoes: Her Instagram and Twitter accounts had a regular hashtag #shoeoftheday, which is whatever designer heels she's wearing that day. (Since she's barely over 5 feet tall, she naturally leans towards heels.)

* PimpedOutDress: Her tours will feature her wearing one during a slower segment of the show. They're usually covered in feathers or sequins.

In between her many hits and her many music videos where she doesn't wear very much, she has continued to appear in acting roles every so often. ''Film/MoulinRouge'' is one example (''Film/StreetFighter'' is another, but [[OldShame let's gloss over that]], and don't even ''start'' with ''Film/BioDome''). She managed to land a later role in LeosCarax's ''Film/HolyMotors''.

In the UK she was one of the leading lights of the late-80s Music/StockAitkenWaterman (SAW) hit factory, along with Jason Donovan and Music/RickAstley. SAW were responsible for producing early number one singles such as "I Should be So Lucky" and "The Locomotion", with minimal input from Kylie herself. "Lucky" in particular was both popular and hugely reviled by the music press on account of its epic cheerfulness, and Minogue was a byword for naff for many years afterwards.

After a generally unsuccessful attempt to take a DarkerAndEdgier direction - including a collaboration with Music/NickCave on his album ''Music/MurderBallads'', where they sang the duet "Where The Wild Roses Grow", and her 1997 album ''Impossible Princess'', which was renamed ''Kylie Minogue'' in the UK, as it had been released just after the death of Princess Diana - she hit platinum with 2000's "Spinning Around" and "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", which topped the charts worldwide and even sold well in the United States, which has never really gone for dance-pop. "Head" in particular became one of the key singles of the 2000s and remains instantly recognisable today.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatEver: In her music video for "Giving you Up" Kylie is a roughly twelve foot tall giantess. However rather attacking or eating anyone she just struts around town, dances a bit, [[TinyGuyHugeGirl and flirts with a few guys she towers over.]]

* ''[[Music/ImpossiblePrincess]]'' (1997)

* ''[[DarkerAndEdgier Impossible Princess]]'' (1997)

* [[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead Never Speak Ill of a Breast Cancer Survivor]]: {{Averted|Trope}}. There is still extremely heavy criticism of Kylie.

* PrecisionFStrike: Unexpected to hear in "Your Disco Needs You" such line as " Darkness comes to kick your arse" , "damn right' in "That's why They Love Songs" and "Like A Drug", " I can make so damn hot" in "Heart Beat Rock"

In the league of pop singers, a certain Australian comes second only to Music/{{Madonna}}. That woman is now old enough to be some of our tropers' mothers (well, so is Madonna, but let's not get into that). Kylie Minogue, Born 28 May 1968, (career 1984-Present) was a former ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'' star and actress but later on became a singer, songwriter and performer world wide star.

* OlderThanTheyLook: She's 47. [[http://www.celebzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/kylie-minogue-performs-at-the-zenith-in-lille_1.jpg Do you believe it?]]

** Kylie was [[http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/bg/Kylie+goes+to+the+ARIA+Awards+rE0jo8Md3oMx.jpg comically shorter]] than her ex-boyfriend, Andres Velencoso ([[http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/bg/Kylie+Andres+Spanish+Christmas+zjGU03wI0S2l.jpg A visual aid]], notice those boots have heels on them).

* {{Fanservice}}: You've seen the picture for this article, right? Well, have you ''seen'' a Kylie video? In one, she channels a [[Film/{{Barbarella}} certain Jane Fonda movie]].

* FunSize: Describes herself as a [[SelfDeprecation "Little Shetland pony"]] trotting along.
** The producers on ''Series/TheVoice UK'' actually had to retrofit her chair with steps because she's so short that she had trouble getting out of it.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Kylie was [[http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/bg/Kylie+goes+to+the+ARIA+Awards+rE0jo8Md3oMx.jpg comically shorter]] than her ex-boyfriend, Andres Velencoso ([[http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/bg/Kylie+Andres+Spanish+Christmas+zjGU03wI0S2l.jpg A visual aid]], notice those boots have heels on them).

* RearrangeTheSong: She has done this a lot. She has remade various songs into ballads, jazz, and electronica.
** Her 2012 compilation album ''The Abbey Road Sessions'' contains her grand hits in orchestral form.

* ShesGotLegs: ''Fantastic'' legs. Proven by [[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1575818/Why-Kylie-Minogue-could-have-the-perfect-legs.html SCIENCE]], no less!
** In an interesting twist on this trope, she's ''short'' (nice legs are often long legs, and long legs tend to happen on tall people.) Such is the power of the Kylie.

-->'''Kylie''': I turned up to a drag queen night years ago in Melbourne. I’d gone to see another band, with a totally different feel — a grungy, hippie kind of band — so I was dressed for that. And then I ended up at this gay bar, and they were having a Kylie night, and of course I got dragged on stage. I felt the least Kylie out of anyone. I’d been out-Kylied by, like, four queens.
