Australia's princess of pop Kylie Minogue was at her best as she took to the stage in Sydney after more than a year off work because of breast cancer.
"Good evening Sydney!" the Melbourne-born former soapie star said as she rose on a platform in the middle of the stage at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.
"How are you feeling tonight?"
It was the first time Minogue had performed in front of a crowd since she was diagnosed with cancer 18 months ago.
She underwent successful surgery for breast cancer in Melbourne in May 2005, and a course of chemotherapy in Paris, where her French actor boyfriend, Olivier Martinez, has a home.
During her recovery she wrote a childrens book, "The Showgirl Princess" and launched her own perfume called "Darling".
The London-based star arrived in Australia this week to make her hotly anticipated comeback to kick off her renamed Showgirl Homecoming Tour, in Sydney.
Minogue began the show in front of thousands of ecstatic fans wearing a pink feathered head-dress and flowing gown by designer John Galliano.
She also wore a dazzling bejewelled pink corset as she started her tour with her classic hit Better The Devil You Know.
Minogue went on to sing dance smash In Your Eyes, as well as new song White Diamond, which she recently penned with American dance group The Scissor Sisters.
An energetic Minogue also rolled out favourites On A Night Like This, Shocked, Spinning Around and Confide In Me.
"Are you ready for you 15 minutes of fame, do you like what you see?" Minogue asked her eager audience.
As well as outfits by Galliano, Minogue donned specially created costumes by designers Gareth Pugh, Dolce e Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld and Emilio Pucci.
The 2004 Grammy winner was diagnosed with cancer days before she was due to start the final leg of her Showgirl World Tour in Australia.
The tour was postponed indefinitely and fans were told to hold on to their tickets.
Following Sydney, Minogue and her Showgirl troupe will travel to Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth. Then they will head back to Europe, playing dates in the UK from January 2.
