Buona sera, Italia! Kylie performs her hit single All The Lovers at day two of Miss Italia 2010 last nightIf anyone was going to give the contestants of a beauty contest a run for their money then it would be Kylie Minogue.
The pop princess nearly diverted the attention away from the girls hoping to be crowned Miss Italy last night as she put on a sexy performance at the annual event.
The singer shimmied in white satin Dolce & Gabbana as she performed her hit single All The Lovers for the audience.

Surrounded by half-naked dancers - which has become the norm for the Aussie superstar these days - she gyrated and writhed on the round white podium much to the delight of the crowd.
And while her set and her beautiful dress were very modern and chic, she sported a very Eighties hairdo, her long wavy locks swept over to one side of her head.
As the special guest of day two of the pageant, which is now in its 71st year, she started her set with a performance of her new song Get Outta My Way.

Grazie, tutto: Kylie smiles appreciatively at the Italian audience as she finishes her setAnd satin was clearly the fabric of the night for Miss Minogue, as she arrived on the stage in a very short Persian green dress, also by Dolce & Gabbana.
Starting her song perched atop a chair, she was soon on her feet as she launched into the catchy dance song.
It is her second single from her album Aphrodite and will be released on September 27.

The pageant final takes place tonight and actress Sharon Stone is expected to attend as the guest of honour judge and will decide the winner alongside presenter Milly Carlucci and Prince of Emanuele Filiberto, grandson of Italy’s last king, Umberto II.

This weekend, Kylie gave a frank interview to the Mail on Sunday's You magazine in which she revealed that she is not ready to stop performing yet.
The tireless pop star joked that she will be 'the one in the old people’s home doing high-kicks in the corner'.
But Kylie, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, also admitted that the medication – which continues for five years after treatment – has troubling side effects, including nausea and headaches which leaves her in 'floods of tears'.
