The 38 year-old star was honoured with the title by the readers of the UK’s Glamour magazine. For the singer, it is a climb of 25 positions from last year’s poll, which allowed her to de-throne supermodel Kate Moss.
This year, Moss fell to fourth place. Her boyfriend, singer Pete Doherty, was given the unenviable title of worst dressed male celebrity.
Minogue was followed by Victoria Beckham, who holds second place. The former Spice Girl is now the wife of footballer David Beckham, who was named best dressed male celebrity.
Nicole Richie was named third on the list, and rounding out fifth place was actress Sienna Miller.
