Kylie Minogue Wore Stella McCartney To The Earthshot Prize Awards 2025

Before taking to the stage to perform, Kylie Minogue walked the green carpet at The Earthshot Prize Awards 2025 held at the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro. The Earthshot Prize is one of the few award events where the red carpet has to make sense beyond aesthetics; it celebrates innovators, environmental advocates, and long-term solutions to the planet’s most urgent issues. Which is why Kylie’s fashion choice immediately felt aligned with the moment.

Kylie wore an archival Stella McCartney Fall 2011 dress — a designer who has spent her entire career advocating for sustainability long before it became a PR bullet point. Archival dressing is not only chic, but it actively reduces environmental impact by re-wearing and re-contextualising garments that already exist rather than producing something new for a single night.

The playful disc appliqués and sheer base fall right into Kylie’s natural style vocabulary — fun, flirty, and a little theatrical. It feels like her, just with a deeper purpose stitched in.

Gold Sophia Webster heels completed the look.

If you looking for a bit of fashion nostalgia, you may (if you are based in the UK) remember that Cheryl Cole famously wore this dress for her 28th birthday back in 2011.

Stylist: Frank Strachan.
