Jean Paul Gaultier, who created those striking costumes for Madonna Blonde Ambition Tour in 1990 and who also created those famous breast cones for Madonna in 1984, has created the costumes for Kylie Minogue European tour KylieX2008.
Prior to this tour, Kylie Minogue depended largely on Dolce & Gabbana to provide her tour costumes.
"The outfits are incredibly sophisticated - we are moving on to the next level, which is what she did with her new album 'X', according to Kylie's designer friend William Barker.
Kylie's wardrobe for this tour has been exclusively designed by master couturier Jean Paul Gaultier and the show will feature at least 7 costumes just for Kylie.
Kylie, who was given the all-clear from breast cancer in early 2006, added an extra seven dates to the UK leg of her tour when the initial eight concerts sold out in just 30 minutes last December.
Kylie Minogue, who received the Chevalier dans L'ordre des Arts et Lettres from the French government in Paris on May 5, 2008, launched her new single In My Arms on the eve of the opening night for the European Tour.
During the tour opening night on May 6 in Paris, Kylie performed songs from her 2007 album X, and performed her own version of the Barry Manilow classic Copacabana.
The show has cost over $20 million (GBP10 million) to stage and includes 53 dates across Europe, including Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Luxembourg, Northern Ireland, Romania, Russia, and Spain
The tour ends in London on August 4, the last of a staggering seven nights at the capital's 02 Arena.
