Kylie Minogue was the center of attention on Monday night (October 29), as she was honored with a prestigious British music industry award at the Grosvenor Hotel in London.

The Australian pop singer-songwriter was presented with the Music Industry Trust’s Award in “recognition of her universally acclaimed status as an icon of pop and style achieved over a 20-year career, which has seen her reinvent, experiment and inspire.”

David Munns, chairman of the awards committee, told the crowd on hand: “There is no doubt that of our 15 award recipients to date, Kylie is by far the most glamorous. She deserves this award for her success over 20 years, staying at the top in one of the toughest professions and inspiring millions with her grace, dignity and humanity.”

Accepting the award with sister Dannii in the crowd, Kylie proudly said: “It is an incredible honor to be the recipient of this year’s Music Industry Trust’s Award and I am truly thrilled to be recognized in this way.”

Past winners recognized by the Music Industry Trust include Elton John and Peter Gabriel.
