Kylie Minogue, Rihanna Do The DKMS Gala In NYC
Kylie Minogue, who has made her way to NYC to (among other things) announce that she will be touring the US for the first time ever this Fall, was on hand at the DKMS Gala at Cipriani’s last night along with fellow songstress Rihanna, fashion designers Betsey Johnson & Vera Wang and more. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals and from the party itself:
Kylie Minogue must have wished she had worn a pair of extreme heels as she stood next to striking singer Rihanna at a charity event in New York last night. For as she posed next to the 21-year Barbados born beauty, she appeared even smaller than usual. Rihanna wore a pair of 5inch high Louis Vuitton calf-length boots with a sculpted heel, along with a typically avantgarde outfit to the DKMS Gala benefit at Cipriani’s last night. But standing at an above average 5ft 8in in her stockings next to the 5ft tall Aussie singer, Kylie, 40, was always going to come off worst in the battle of heights between the pop divas. However, Rihanna didn’t have it all her way, as Kylie looked stunning in a black body-hugging jersey gown showing off a very svelte and youthful figure. While pop singer Rihanna sported yet another outre outfit from her new ‘look at me’ wardrobe. A metallic backless top with huge shoulders, and a plum-coloured tulip shaped miniskirt. She accessorised it with bling nails and an outrageously spiky ring … The pair were in attendance at a fundraiser for DKMS the world’s largest bone marrow transplant donor centre which uses it’s resources to fight against leukemia. On Monday night she attended her first big event since taking time out from her career when she walked the red carpet at the Costume Institute Gala. Dressed in a Dolce and Gabbana suit with huge puffed sleeves she certainly stood out among the assembles star power which included Madonna, and Kate Moss Yesterday, the Bajan singer went house-hunting for a Manhattan base and spent the afternoon looking at luxury apartments.
Yesterday we saw pics from the Empire State Building lighting ceremony that took place the night before, hosted by Kylie, to celebrate this DKMS Gala — clearly, Kylie is intent on taking the US by storm … well, trying to … well, again. To be honest, as excited as I am that Kylie is finally touring here in the US, I know she will never be a major star in this country. I know that Kylie is doing this mini Fall tour for the fans that she already has in this country. We’ve waited her entire career to see her tour this country … it’s about time :) I hope we get to see a lot more Kylie in the weeks and months to come. It’s gonna be a long Summer waiting for Kylie’s first US tour to start … I can’t wait.

LMFAO, naked pictures of Rihanna hit the net today. I have always thought Rihanna should stop wearing weird clothes, but I didn’t think she would just take all of them off and take pictures of herself.
