Kylie: "I'm Fine"

Kylie put on a brave face for the opening of 'Kylie - The Exhibition' at London's Victoria & Albert museum last night (February 6) - and revealed her ex Olivier Martinez had been in touch to wish her luck.

The singer, who announced the break-up of her four-year relationship with Olivier on Saturday (February 3), looked stunning in a purple Grecian-style dress and a reported 1m worth of diamonds.

She said, "I'm just going to say that I'm here tonight and having a wonderful time, thinking about my friend also - and he's wished me all the best for tonight so, yeah, it's all good."

She added, "My only sadness is that mother is not here."

The exhibition which opens to the public today is a retrospective of Kylie's most iconic outfits - from Charlene's overalls to the white 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' catsuit to those teeny gold 'Spinning Around' hotpants.

Kyles told us, "It's a weird feeling. I donated the clothes quite a while ago now but to see them all together and without me in them is quite different.

"But I guess their purpose was initially for entertainment so I hope that everyone who comes to see it will enjoy getting a little up close and personal."

It has also just been announced that the exhibition, which is on until June 10, is the most popular ever held at the historic venue - tickets are going like hot cakes.

"I was actually speechless. I was stunned, very honored and overwhelmed," she said. "I can't believe there are disco balls at the V&A - it looks fabulous!"
