Kylie's costumes displayed in exhibition

Kylie Minogue's tiny golden hot pants may bring some extra festive cheer to fans as an exhibition of the pop diva's costumes opens in Sydney.

More than 40 outfits, including the hot pants worn by Kylie in her Spinning Around video in 2000, are on display at the Powerhouse Museum. The Australian pop princess reportedly bought the hot pants from a London charity store for 50p.

The exhibition has already toured the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre in Brisbane.
