Kylie oozes class

Once again, Kylie Minogue was seen welcoming the New Year alongside Jools Holland on his annual Hootenanny.

This year, they celebrated the arrival of 2011 on the BBC together.

The 42-year-old artist dazzled in a form-fitting leopard print dress paired with matching shoes while performing many of her iconic tracks, which included the recent hit Better Than Today.

Having appeared on the show for the third year in a row, Kylie was among the musical greats featured, including Roger Daltrey from The Who and Gnarls Barkley’s Cee Lo Green, who showcased his chart-topping single Forget You.

Additional performances came from Alison Moyet, Rumer, and Vampire Weekend, with notable guests in the audience like comedians Jo Brand and Martin Freeman.

However, it was Kylie, who styled her hair specifically for this event, who garnered one of the loudest cheers of the night when she graced the stage.

Kylie joined Jools at the piano to perform Better Than Today right before the countdown to the new decade, much to the joy of the star-studded crowd.

Eager about the New Year, the petite singer expressed her excitement earlier on Twitter, writing: ‘Put Your Hands Up… if you feel the love for 2011…whoooOooOoOoOOOPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year … love Kylie xxxx’

Additionally, Kylie shared some of her aspirations for 2011, expressing her desire to return to film following her brief appearance as the Green Fairy in Moulin Rouge in 2001.

She commented, ‘I don’t know why I haven’t done it yet. Musicals are, it’s no surprise, right up my alley and I would be in seventh heaven doing a musical.

‘It’s going to happen somehow but I need to be a bit more pro-active.’

The Hootenanny, known for its stellar lineup of performers, has become one of the most beloved New Year’s television specials.

Reflecting on hosting such a successful show, Jools Holland remarked, ‘I have been incredibly fortunate in working with and observing so many amazing people, which is always strange and thrilling.’
