Kylie Minogue wows in ruffle mini dress at Formula E Prix

Formula E famously banned grid girls last year, leading the way for Formula One to bring in its own controversial ruling earlier this week.

Yet Kylie Minogue ensured the tracks were not totally void of glamour as she hit the tarmac at the ABB FIA Formula E race, in Santiago, Chile on Saturday.

Strutting down the grid, the 49-year-old singer showcased her petite frame in a white ruffle mini dress as she flashed her mega-watt smile for the cameras.

The figure-hugging dress cinched in the pint-sized popstar’s tiny waist with a thick corset-style band while the ruffles clung to her hourglass curves.

Skimming just below the knee, Kylie accentuated her toned limbs with brown military style open-toe boots. 

She styled her golden tresses in a sleek straight look and shielded her eyes with a pair of black sunglasses.

Finishing off the look, the In Your Eyes hitmaker enhanced her youthful complexion with a slick of pink lipstick. 

Kylie’s appearance on the tarmac comes after bosses at the sport were seen to hit out at counterpart Formula One amid the controversial Grid Girl ban.

Last year, Formula E imposed the ban and in light of Formula One’s decision, bosses said earlier in the week: ‘We’re glad to welcome F1 to the 21st century. 

‘Formula E stopped using grid girls last year already, but we just didn’t feel the need to shout about it.’

On Friday, the singer was flanked by adoring fans at the ABB FIA Formula E race.

The Can’t Get You Out Of My Head hitmaker went braless to best showcase her ample cleavage in her strapless gown, with its neckline cut across the bust.  

Cinched at the waist, the garment showed off the singer’s petite figure and it drew further attention with its artistic rose embroidery embellishments on the bodice.

The long skirt of the dress billowed out from the singer’s waist and it was finished with pleating.

Golden-haired Kylie framed her face with her box fringe and she swept her corkscrew curls off her rosy cheeks.

The songstress kept her accessorises to a minimum as she only wore two fine golden necklaces to bring a touch of golden glamour to her looks.

Kylie’s appearance came after her former fiancé Joshua, 30, was reportedly  jilted by his new bride, days before they were scheduled to marry. 

The actor planned to wed actress Harriet Colling on Saturday at St. Lawrence’s Church in rural Ludlow in his Shropshire hometown at 3pm on February 3.

But The Sun claims a reluctant Harriet called off the wedding over growing concerns about their compatibility, a decision that is said to have delighted her family.

A source told the publication: ‘Harriet decided she couldn’t go through with marrying Joshua – they weren’t right for each other.

‘They started dating shortly after his split with Kylie and at first they were smitten. But he changed over time and she felt he was isolating her from her family.

‘Her family and friends are over the moon. They think she can do much better than him.’

Kylie confirmed her split from Joshua in February 2017 after she reportedly threw him out of her West London home because he ‘grew too close’ to actress Marta Milans. 

The devastated singer admitted she was ‘fragile’ at first but she managed to rebuild her confidence in the recording studio.

‘The end of 2016 was not a good time for me. So when I started working on the album in 2017 it was, in many ways, a great escape,’ she told The Sun.

‘I was quite fragile when I started work on it but being able to express myself in the studio made quick work of regaining my sense of self — writing about various aspects of my life, the highs and lows, with a real sense of knowing and of truth.

She added: ‘And irony. And joy. If there’s one love that will always be there for you, it’s music. Well, it is for me, anyway.’

MailOnline previously contacted a representative for further comment. 

Elsewhere, Kylie has spoken out about her legal battle with Kylie Jenner over the latter’s bid to trademark their shared first name.

The singer told Rolling Stone that ‘it was nothing personal at all,’ and described the conflict as ‘wrapped up’ without needing ‘to go to court.’

Jenner, 20, tried to copyright: ‘KYLIE,’ and Minogue legally opposed it but the opposition was pulled in December which led to speculation of a settlement.

Minogue told the site: ‘I’ve never met Kylie Jenner. I’ve never met any member of the family, actually, I’ve met Kendall just in passing at a fashion event but I honestly don’t know them. 

‘It’s awkward, because fans get so loyal and vocal, and we love that! But it was nothing personal at all, I’m at pains to say.

‘Trademark is long, it’s boring, it’s expensive, and it’s really important. I’ve been doing that for years and years. It was just causing confusion with customers. As long as it’s clear, then we can all win.’

Jenner filed to trademark: ‘KYLIE’ in 2015, according to U.S. Patent And Trademark Office records cited by the BBC.

Minogue’s KDB Pty Ltd. put in an opposition in 2016, calling the singer an ‘internationally renowned performing artist, humanitarian, and breast cancer activist’ and pointing out she is ‘known worldwide simply as: “Kylie.”‘
