Why it Works: Kylie Minogue

Let's get one thing very clear: we would never be okay with this peace, love and Bruce Springsteenthemed ensemble if it weren't being modeled by everyone's favorite pocket-size Aussie pop star (easy Olivia Newton John, you're 5'6"that's giant territory compared to Minogue's 5' stature). 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.

The Jacket: It really couldn't be more Kylie unless it was equipped with speakers that played "Locomotion" and "Can't Get You Out of My Head" on loop. For starters, it's a motorcycle jacket, so it's tough, much like the star herself, who has proven she's a survivor, both of a very public battle with breast cancer and of the volatile music industry. But, like the bombshell herself, it's also an over-the-top proponent of love, literally wearing its heart on its zipper, the way a Harley-riding CareBear might do.

The Shorts: To be fair, they're more like cutoff hotpants, which just so happens to be the singer's signature item of clothing, for reasons that are fairly self-explanatory. Did we mention that she's 40-something? It might be time to give Foster's another go.

The! Boots: The sort of thing Buffy the Vampire Slayer might wear for a dressed-up patrol, these dominatrix-style platform lace-ups offer more coverage than the shorts, and a good four-inch boost too. Bonus.
