The singer showed off her physique in the shimmering Dolce & Gabbana frock, while she accessorised with silver high heels.

Minogue completed the look off with her hair worn down, smokey eye make-up and matching sparkling earrings.

She was all smiles as she showed up to the Curzon Mayfair for the big evening to promote the film, which also stars Denis Lavant.

The Australian star proved popular as she was helped along the road with her female helper who carried a large bunch of flowers for her.

And after striking her perfect poses for the cameras she cosied up to director Leos Carax, who looked cool in shades and a winter coat for the event.

The French sci-fi film features Minogue in one of her few movie roles - she has previously starred in The Delinquents (1989) and Street Fighter (1996).
