Kylie Minogue’s iconic gold hot pants are on display in a Melbourne museum.
The pop princess, who wore the eye-catching short shorts in the video for her 2000 hit Spinning Around, has donated the metallic pants to the Kylie-themed collection.
Asked about the hot pants, she tells Headliners: “They belong to a museum, a performing arts museum in Melbourne, Australia.
“As do [‘Neighbours’ character] Charlene’s overalls, which I probably never owned in the first place – they were a souvenir that I took from Neighbours.
“So they’ve got the overalls, the gold hot pants, the showgirl thing, the Can’t Get You Out of My Head jumpsuit… yeah, I donated pretty much everything to them in bulk in 2005.
“Ever since then, they’ve got some bits and pieces.”
Kylie also has a number of items on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, as she quips: “[They have] my dressing room, basically, from 2006.
“So, I went in there in 2019 and had a little snoop down where my dressing room is and I said to my boyfriend, ‘There’s those shoes – I’ve been wondering where those shoes were!'”
Kylie recently released a repack of her 2020 No. 1 album ‘DISCO’, which features duets with Years & Years, Jessie Ware and Gloria Gaynor.
‘DISCO: Guest List Edition’ is available as a 3CD, 1 DVD, 1 BLU-RAY set, along with 2CD and 3LP editions. Also on offer is a 2LP coloured vinyl of ‘DISCO’ featuring 12 extended mixes.
