Kylie Minogue looks casual chic while carrying a face mask in London

Kylie Minogue is returning to her dance roots on her upcoming fifteenth studio album, after a brief foray into country music.

So the Australian pop princess had plenty to smile about when she stepped out in London on Tuesday.

The 52-year-old songstress cut a casual chic figure in a beige zip-up jacket and white cropped pants, and also carried a face mask as a safety precaution.

Kylie added pristine white sneakers to the look, and carried the rest of her items in a white quilted handbag.

The Loco-Motion hitmaker swept her blonde locks underneath a black cap, and concealed her gaze behind tinted sunglasses.  

She wore minimal makeup, allowing her natural beauty to shine through.

Kylie is back in the studio working on a new record, which she describes as ‘grown-up disco’.

‘It’s difficult even for me to explain. But even grown-ups need some pure pop fun,’ she told GQ magazine in May. 

The Spinning Around star said she would be incorporating early 2000s sounds into the album, too.

‘There’s a lot of early 2000s love around at the moment,’ she added. ‘Both feel like good times for me, so I’m channelling that into this record.’

When the new record does arrive, it will be the star’s first release since 2018’s country-tinged Golden.

While Kylie received praise from critics at the time for the strength of her songwriting, some fans were disappointed by her decision to go in a more mature direction.

Despite the mixed reviews, Golden still reached No. 1 in both Australia and the UK.
