Kylie Minogue's dress: What you'd look like in the sequined Matthew Williamson mini

Diminutive star Kylie Minogue is a real magpie: if it sparkles, she'll wear it.

But top-to-toe sequins are not the easiest trend to pull off, as all that shimmer and shine can make you look bigger than you really are.

But Kylie manages to dazzle in this sleeveless Matthew Williamson number, which flatters her 5ft frame and toned body.

In the real world, we weren't expecting it to cut the mustard.

But hats off to the designer: in this dress, our size 12 real woman, who is almost a foot taller than Kylie, manages to outshine the Australian star.




Cut to flatter our model's curvy hips, and with sequins designed in waves that accentuate her waist, she fills this dress beautifully.
Yes, it does cost an eyewatering £1,750, but that just goes to show you really do get what you pay for.
If you don't have Kylie's budget, and want to cover your arms (and let's face it, who doesn't want to hide their bingo wings?), then Wallis does a pretty good doppelganger for a fraction of the price.

Perfect for pre-Christmas cocktail parties.
