By Fiona Raisbeck on Friday 13 April 2012 Rex Features Shes always been willing to experiment when it comes to fashion, and Kylie Minogue s latest look was no exception when she stepped out in an edgy ensemble whilst visiting her management companys offices in London.

KYLIE MINOGUE: STYLE HIGHS & LOWS She accessorised her look with some sexy fishnet tights , a classic black satchel, a chain detailed hat and some edgy multi-strap buckled boots .

Australia will be racing for Cannes gold this year with Nicole Kidman and Kylie Minogue lighting up the red carpet and two directors from Down Under competing for the Palme d'Or. With a month to go until the May 16-27 event on the French Riviera, organisers on Thursday named the 22 films in the main competition at the world cinema showcase, with Australia looming large in the selection. Kidman stars in the 1960s-set thriller The Paperboy by Lee Daniels, alongside Zav Efron and John Cusack. The US director won a warm reception in Cannes three years ago for his last film Precious, about an obese black girl from Harlem. The Australian actress also stars in Philip Kaufman's Hemingway and Gellhorn, shown out of competition, in which she plays the American writer's war reporter third wife Martha Gellhorn, opposite the British actor Clive Owen. Pop superstar Minogue stars opposite Eva Mendes in Holy Motors, by the edgy French director Leos Carax, about a man who constantly changes

Her list of rider requests for the video shoot for her new single this week included a hot water bottle with a temperature of exactly 44C. The Aussie singer filmed the new promo in a very soggy east London on Thursday, not much fun considering she had on denim shorts for outdoor scenes in the rain. A source said: It was really cold filming outside but the crew were still surprised when they saw the request for a hot water bottle warmed to the specific temperature. At least Kylie put it to good use. She should try sticking on some trousers and a jumper in future.

And, we might add, if it weren't being worn for a music video being taped in London. But even if this were Kylie Minogue 's Sunday church ensemble, somehow, on the sunny blond, the normal rules of dress just do not apply. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the woman's butt is worth $5 million. And not just in a "her butt is amazing" kind of way but, rather in a "reportedly insured for that amount" kind of way. But, we digress. These boots weren't made for walking.

Kylie Minogue drew crowds in London yesterday while being filmed on a busy street. The singer was spotted strutting down Old Compton Street in Soho while miming a song and surrounded by fans taking photos of her. Minogue was dressed in short denim hot pants, a leather biker jacket adorned with a giant red heart, and a pair of big sunglasses. Later in the evening, the Australian starlet was seen on the back of a motorbike with her hand pointed in the air. It has not been confirmed whether she was shooting a new music video. However, Minogue will release an orchestral reworking of her greatest hits later this year. The new album will be part of her K25 project, which celebrates her 25 years in the music industry since 1987's 'Loco-Motion'.
