Kylie Minogue, recovering from breast cancer, is back on the celebrity party circuit after enjoying herself at a lavish charity bash at Elton John's country home.
"This is my official coming out," said the diminutive Australia-born pop singer as she joined the likes of model Elle Macpherson, singer Natalie Imbruglia and reality TV judge Simon Cowell at Thursday's event.
Minogue, 38, wore an eye-catching dress with a plunging neckline to the White Tie and Tiara summer party at John's residence in Old Windsor, west of London, Britain's domestic Press Association reported.
The party was to raise money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Minogue delighted fans on June 10 with a surprise performance alongside sister Dannii Minogue at a London concert venue, singing the chorus of "Jump To The Beat," the Daily Mirror newspaper reported.
She was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer while preparing for the Australian leg of her Showgirl Tour in May 2005. She underwent surgery in Melbourne and further treatment in Europe which ended in December.
