Shine like Dannii Minogue! Dannii is best known for her work on the hit television show, The X Factor. The 45-year-old singer recently appeared in a stunning latex dress for 1883 Magazine. The gown featured a corset style waist and puffed out sleeves for a dramatic flair. Her hair was styled in a straight, sleek fashion that shows off her glam look.
To finish her look, Minogue opted for a touch of noir with a dramatic lip and a charming pearl necklace with gold accents. Dannii is gearing up to appear on British television screens for the upcoming show Let It Shine, which follows the account of five male singers to form a hit boyband.
In the interview with 1883, Dannii shared that she has always been inspired by acting and performances, especially Olivia Newton John as Sandy in the 1978 musical Grease. The younger sister of Kylie Minogue, Dannii looks forward to working with new talent.
“On Let It Shine, we don’t want perfect impersonators of the band we want people who are unique with charisma and great energy,” she said in her interview. “You need to be open to challenges, have fun with what you do and continue to practice your craft. It’s such a rewarding feeling when you see an artist come in with potential and you are able to guide them into fulfilling their true talent as a performer.”
Rock a bold latex wet-look, just like Dannii with an all black style. Take notes from her outfit by wearing a fitted corset to create an hourglass effect. Go for minimal accessories that still make a huge impact, like a gold and pearl necklace or a silver chain bracelet.
We’ve seen plenty of latex mini dresses before, so to achieve a head-turning look opt for a floor length gown. Puffed out sleeves give things a touch of drama and a sense of theatrics.

Interesting how her role on Let It Shine ties into her comments about valuing charisma over perfection. That same confidence definitely comes through in choosing such a bold, structured gown.
That corset waist with the puffed sleeves really stood out to me, especially in latex which isn’t easy to pull off elegantly. The sleek hair and dark lip balanced the drama without making it feel overdone.
Her inspiration from Olivia Newton John as Sandy adds a nice layer to the look, almost like she’s channeling that transformation energy but in a modern, high-fashion way.
The combination of straight, sleek hair and that dramatic noir lip felt very intentional, letting the gown’s puffed sleeves carry the theatrical element without overwhelming her overall styling.
I liked how the article emphasized going for a full-length latex gown instead of the usual minis. It actually makes the look feel more editorial and less clubwear, especially with those theatrical sleeves.
The tip about keeping accessories minimal really makes sense here, since the gold and pearl necklace already adds enough contrast against the black latex without competing with the silhouette.
I appreciated the mention of the hourglass effect from the fitted corset, because that’s really what makes the latex look polished rather than costume-like in this case.
