Gothic: Kylie Minogue wore a sexy see-through leotard teamed with thigh high boots and a cape as she took to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury for her performance during the Scissor Sisters' setKylie Minogue beamed as she took to the stage tonight for her Glastonbury debut.
The 42-year-old singer wore a sexy see-through leotard and thigh high boots with disco ball-type mirrored detailing as she performed during the Scissor Sisters set.
She performed Any Which Way at Glastonbury with the Scissor Sisters’ frontman Jake Shears, who co-wrote her new album Aphrodite, from which her new single All The Lovers is taken.
Delighted: Kylie couldn't stop smiling throughout her performance at the festival. She had to pull out in 2005 when she was diagnosed with breast cancerIt was a Glastonbury first for Kylie, who pulled out of the festival in 2005 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
And the broad smile on her face throughout her performance showed she couldn't have been happier to have finally made it to the world-famous music festival.
Speaking before her performance, Kylie said she couldn't wait to get back to performing live, explaining: 'It’s how I connect with people, that’s what I really wanted to do, get back on stage.'
The Scissor Sisters set was watched by thousands of people, including celebrity fan Kate Hudson, who is at the festival to support new boyfriend Matt Bellamy when he headlines the second night with his band Muse.
Happy: All three looked excited to be performing at Glastonbury, with Kylie grinning the entire time
Celebrity fan: Kate Hudson seemed to be enjoying herself as she watched the Scissor Sisters from her vantage pointHeadlining act Muse's epic intergalactic rock sent Glastonbury into orbit tonight - and yet another top secret guest made an appearance - U2 guitarist The Edge.
U2 were booked to headline on Friday but had to pull out when Bono hurt his back.
The Edge joined the band on stage to play U2 classic Where the Streets Have No Name - to delirious scenes in the crowd.

Enthusiastic: Bellamy, who was watched by new girlfriend Kate Hudson, thrilled the crowds with his songsMuse stormed through a set that swooped from crunching guitars to delicate falsetto.
Singer Matt Bellamy gripped a mammoth crowd playing hits including Supermassive Black Hole, Plug in Baby and Time is Running Out.
And the light show which accompanied the music left many fans agog.
Bellamy, whose band last played the festival six years ago, said: 'Happy 40th Glastonbury - big cheer for Mr Eavis and his daughter.'
It's all too much: Security men were forced to get involved when fans at the front got a bit too rowdyEarlier in the day, pop star Shakira proved that Hips Don't Lie - or indeed stay still - as she performed a series of body-contortions during her debut at Glastonbury.
The She Wolf singer wore a crop top, leggings and spangly-gold skirt as she took to the Pyramid stage this afternoon.
As if temperatures weren't hot enough at the festival, the singer managed to raise them further with her sexy routine.

Stunning: The 33-year-old singer wowed the crowds with her belly-dancing moves and inventive routinesThe 33-year-old shimmied her way around the stage - leaving many of the males in the audience transfixed on the big screens.
The Grammy-award winning singer packed in all her hits including Whenever, Wherever, She Wolf and Hips Don't Lie.
Before taking to the Pyramid Stage, Shakira wrote on Twitter: 'I'm so thrilled to be here!'
A message from 'Shakira HQ' later followed: '70,000 people doing the She Wolf howl sounds pretty darn amazing. Awwuuuuuu!'
In action: Thousands of male music fans were left transfixed by Shakira's amazingly flexible hips
She Wolf: The crowd certainly seemed to be enjoying Shakira's set, which included hit songs Whenever, Wherever, She Wolf and Hips Don't LieShakira was just one of the big names making an appearance on Day Two of the world-famous music event.
Folksy singer Kate Nash donned a bizarre black and white striped dress, complete with red arm-warmers and dark maroon lipstick as she took to the Other Stage.
She told the crowd: 'Come on then, you're at Glastonbury for f***'s sake! Happy 40th anniversary Glastonbury!'

Colourful: Miss Nash's arm-warmers added some colour to her otherwise monochrome outfitSuper band The Dead Weather - featuring White Stripes frontman Jack White and The Kills singer Alison Mosshart - also received a rapturous welcome from the crowds, while Sting and Trudie Styler's daughter Coco Sumner made her Glastonbury debut with band I Blame Coco.
However, already tomorrow's crunch World Cup match is on many people's minds - the unanimous verdict being an England victory.
During their set on the Pyramid Stage, 90s favourites the Lightning Seeds prompted a mass singalong of 'football's coming home' during their hit Three Lions.
Lead singer Ian Broudie said: 'Go and win it England - beat Germany and Argentina and win the World Cup.'
A special big screen has been installed on site so festival-goers can watch the clash - and maybe their good vibes will come in handy if it goes to penalties.

Vocal adrenalin: Jack also showed off his singing skills when he took to the mike for a performanceSo far Glastonbury is going well, with crime down from last year with just 277 reported incidents - compared with 23 more by this time in 2009.
However, police have seen a spike in thefts from tents. There have been 93 arrests of which 77 were drug related.
More than 2,000 people have been treated by the festival's medical team - most for heat related problems.
Doctors have advised people to cover up and drink plenty of water.

Kelly Osbourne, Emma Watson, Pixie Geldof, Kate Hudson, Kate Moss and Sienna Miller have all been spotted enjoying the sights and sounds in Somerset.
