She maybe just five feet tall but Kylie Minogue sure knows how to work up her audience.

The petite Australian singer got Paris on its feet when she opened her world tour to promote her latest album X on Tuesday.

The singer performed with dancers to the tunes of her new songs like Speakerphone, Heartbeat Rock, Into My Arms and Like A Drug.

The night saw Kylie in a sheer purple gown with a long slit, showing off a pair of delectable legs. There was also a dramatic aerial display to thrill the crowd some more.

There was a pleasant surprise for the singer as well. Kylie received France's highest cultural honour, the Order of Arts and Letters, whose earlier recipients included pretty big names like Ella Fitzgerald, T S Eliot, Bob Dylan and Robert Redford.

Incidentally, Kylie decided to make the city her home in the months after her breast cancer was diagnosed.
