Kylie Minogue sparkles at Glamour awards

Kylie Minogue sparkled at the annual Glamour awards in London on Wednesday night, in a long, elegant Stella McCartney gown.

She received an Outstanding Contribution honour for her work in the entertainment industry over the past 25 years.

The pop princess dedicated her award to the women in her family.

'I don't know how I ended up here when I started out in dungarees (in Neighbours) pretending I could fix a car, she said.

'I nearly blew up my first car as I didn't realise it had water and oil and all that stuff.'

She added that she 'hoped to become a better woman. Like my grandma. She's really my icon. I'd like to dedicate this to my grandma and mother'.
