Kylie Minogue Honoured with New Display at Australian Music Vault – The Music Network

Kylie Minogue is the latest icon to be celebrated at the Australian Music Vault.
This comes hot on the heels of Minogue being honoured with the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music.
The exhibition features standout pieces from across her career, including a sequinned bodysuit from her 1990 ‘Enjoy Yourself’ tour, a mugshot board from the “Did It Again” video, and accessories from her ‘KylieFever2002’ tour. Also on show are Azzedine Alaïa heels from the “Chocolate” video and the cowboy hat from the Cowboy Style promo.
Minogue began her career on the TV soap “Neighbours” before launching a music career with “The Locomotion” in 1987. Since then, she has released 17 studio albums, sold over 80 million records worldwide, and won multiple international awards including two Grammys, four Brit Awards and 18 ARIA Awards. She is Australia’s highest-selling female artist of all time.
Known for her visual style and creative direction, Minogue’s albums such as Rhythm of Love (1990), Kylie Minogue (1994), and Impossible Princess (1997) helped cement her status in pop music. In the 2000s, Light Years and Fever marked a commercial peak, with Fever’s lead single “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” becoming one of the most successful singles of the decade.
Her more recent releases—including Golden (2018), Disco (2020), Tension (2023) and Tension II (2024)—have all reached No. 1 in Australia and the UK, making her the only female artist to top the UK album charts in five consecutive decades.
Minogue’s collection at the Australian Performing Arts Collection now includes over 300 items, from costumes by Jean Paul Gaultier and Dolce & Gabbana to promotional materials, photographs, and accessories, offering a detailed record of her performance career.
The Ted Albert Award is one of the Australian music industry’s highest decorations, and is decided by the APRA board of writer and publisher directors.
Previous recipients include the late Mushroom Group chairman Michael Gudinski, Paul Kelly, The Seekers, Cold Chisel, former Alberts CEO Fifa Riccobono, Colin Hay of Men at Work and last year’s recipient Bart Willoughby, the trailblazing Indigenous artist and the driving force behind No Fixed Address.
To mark Minogue’s Ted Albert Award win, stars like Missy Higgins, Julian Hamilton of The Presets, Ben Lee, and Cub Sport’s Tim Nelson spoke to The Music Network about her influence and significance to Australian music.
