Standing ovation as Kylie scoops idol award

KYLIE MINOGUE was honoured as a music idol at the Q Awards yesterday.

The Australian star showed off a new Marilyn Monroe-esque hairdo and a figure-hugging black frock at the ceremony.

Her win was greeted with a standing ovation from the crowd of celebrities at London’s Grosvenor House hotel. And she joked: “I would like to thank those of you who continue to support me — including my dress.”
