Is it just us, or does January always feel like the longest month *ever*?! This one in particular seems to have been especially drawn out – and boy, have we felt every single one of its 31 days so far. That, plus the chilly weather, constant grey skies, and hangover from a seriously decadent Christmas period, means that all we've really wanted to do so far this year is chill in our comfiest loungewear, binge-watch Netflix (thank god for Fool Me Once, amirite?!) and hibernate as much as humanly possible. Not exactly the most glamorous start to 2024 we envisioned!
But leave it to Kylie Minogue to *finally* tempt us out of PJ mode and get us in the party mood once more. The iconic Aussie singer attended the pre-Grammy Awards party at Bar Lis in Los Angeles last night, and wore the ultimate going out-out 'fit for the occasion...
LBD? Check! Crystal embellishment? Check! Sexy leg slit? Check! And some fab contrasting coloured feathers to top it all off... It literally has it all. We'd even go as far as to say that this might just be one of the most perfect party dresses we've ever seen. Way to go, Kylie!
But the best part? The singer's dress is surprisingly affordable – OK, it's £450, but that's a veritable bargain when it comes to celebrity fashion – and still very much in stock on Net-A-Porter. Wahoo! Kylie opted for a design by Self-Portrait, the special-yet-accessible partywear brand that's loved by everyone from Bella and Gigi Hadid to Meghan Markle and Alexa Chung.
Ofc, Kylie completed the look with glittery heels and some seriously tanned limbs for extra "big night out" vibes. It's almost enough to get us out and dancing again... Almost.
