Kylie Minogue plays peekaboo in sparkling black dress as she's honored at the TIME 100 Gala in NYC

Kylie Minogue is doing a dazzling victory lap after being named one of the 100 most influential people of the year.

The Grammy Award winner, 55, stunned in an ankle-length black sleeveless gown with a sparkling peekaboo panel over her chest as she arrived at Thursday's TIME 100 Gala at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Her dress featured a thigh-high leg slit on the side, which showed of a pair of strappy silver stilettos.

Minogue finished the ensemble with a jeweled bangle bracelet and matching ring, carrying a silver jeweled drawstring handbag on a hoop handle.

The 'Padam Padam' artist was included this year on TIME's list of '100 Most Influential People', alongside Dua Lipa, Colman Domingo, Elliot Page, Sofia Coppola, Patrick Mahomes and more.

Chris Martin sang Minogue's praises in an essay as she was announced on the list last week.

'Kylie is so inspiring to me—she lives her life so gracefully and approaches every project with such passion and dedication,' he wrote. 

'She always seems to be 10 years ahead of everyone else, and she's an artist who knows how to be of service, making songs that fans go on to love for years. 

'Kylie creates a space where everyone is safe to be themselves,' added Minogue. 'When I look at her I feel hope. She's proof there are humans who don’t judge.'  

After releasing her smash hit 'Padam Padam' last year, Minogue won a Grammy for Best Pop Recording, her first in 20 years.

The track came from her 16th studio album Tension. 

Tension earned her second No. 1 spot on the US Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart, after her previous album Disco (2020) also topped the chart. 

Last month, Mattel also honored her with a Barbie doll in her likeness in celebration of International Women's Day.

Minogue is also in the midst of a wildly successful residency at The Venetian in Las Vegas, which has since offered to extend her a 'residency for life.'

Although she told Billboard she's been 'wildly inspired' lately, Minogue said last month that she's 'at a point in my life where I know it's not eternal.'

'I just want to maximize this brilliant wave,' added Minogue. 'If you're not out paddling for when that wave comes along, you've got no hope.'
