Dannii Minogue Fashion Style

Ranked #1,040 in Fashion & Beauty, #17,340 overall

Dannii Minogue (born Danielle Jane Minogue) is the other female judge on X-factor, alongside Cheryl Cole.

She's the younger sister of the singer Kylie Minogue, and has been overshadowed most of her life by her.

For a while it looked like she'd be overshadowed by Cheryl Cole on X-Factor too, but Dannii fought back by changing her look. She dumped the Botox (she didn't really need it as she's only 39, and it froze her face on a program where expressing what you think is key).

She also cut her hair, wisely deciding not to compete with Cheryl in the big hair stakes. As it turned out Dannii's bobbed hairdo really suited her, and the clothes she selected flattered her. She has at last come into her own style, and has developed a fan following all her own.

This page is all about Dannii Minogue's style and how to get a look just like hers. (Cheryl fans should visit Cheryl Cole Style for a look at her clothes).

Dannii Minogue perfume - Project D

Along with the Project D clothes, Dannii has launched a set of perfumes - they were officially released in November 2010, and unlike the clothes, the perfumes are affordable.

There are three versions of the Project D scent: The first is called Dawn, and contains notes of geranium, bergamot, neroli and ylang ylang, the second is called Day and has essences of tuberose, Japanese osmanthus, daisy, and mimosa. The third is called Dusk and features notes of skin musks, sandalwood, and hot amber oils. You can get all three as a set - see below. The perfumes are designed so that you can layer all three (so you start with the Dawn perfume and then spray on the Dusk one at night).

Dannii Saturday Final Broadcast

Dannii looked classy in a red tiered gown with her hair swept back sixties style and geometric earrings. I think she won the style war tonight over Cheryl.

The dress was by J'Aton Couture.

Dannii Semi-finals Sunday episode

Dannii wore a short black strapless dress, with a long lace overskirt. The dress was by Jaspar Conran

Her hair was waved, and she accessorised with snowflake earrings. I wasn't sure about the dress, but loved the hair (it's a very flattering look on her).

Dannii in 1950's style flower dress Sunday broadcast week three X Factor

Dannii wore a strapless 1950's style dress to the Sunday broadcast which was reminiscent of the dress she wore to the National television awards earlier in the year (see further down this page).

I think the retro 1950's look really suits her figure and in my opinion this has been her best look on the show.

The dress is by Dolce & Gabbana

Dannii Minogue sunday broadcast week two

Dannii wore a demure mid-calf black dress with chiffon bodice, by Antonio Berardi, to the Sunday program, and red lipstick. She's starting to look like a Hollywood actress from the 1950's. I particularly like the emphasis on the lips rather than the eyes.

She teamed it with exquisite silver wheel earrings - see screenshot right.

Dannii acorn earrings second finals episode X Factor 2010

The stand-out item for me in Dannii's outfit were her acorn earrings - see screenshot right.

Will be trying to see if I can locate a high street equivalent.

The one-shouldered beige dress she wore was from the Victoria Beckham collection

Dannii in blue chiffon gown - judges houses 2010

Dannii wore a lovely flowing blue chiffon strapless gown for the judges houses episode of X-Factor. She teamed it with a statement necklace, and the shade of the gown really complemented her new hair colour.

The dress is called "Snowdrop" and is from the Dannii Minogue "Project D" collection.

Dannii's autobiography was released on 30th September and gives all the goss, particularly about her feud with Sharon Osborne.

Dannii Minogue and Berets

Throughout the Dannii Style Queen series on ITV2, we saw Dannii wearing berets while out and about.

See the screenshot right of one such occasion. It's a good look especially if you don't want to do too much to your hair, and just tuck it out of sight.

Dannii Minogue Style Queen series on ITV

This is a series on ITV2, which follows Dannii as she sets up her new fashion label and also prepares to give birth to her first child.

Dannii Minogue in Dubai (judges house 2009 X-factor)

Dannii wore an exquisite multicoloured gown in the judges house edition of the X-factor, which took place in Dubai. It really set off her dark hair and blue eyes. It's a great look for anyone with a similar colouring to Dannii.

The dress is by J'Aton Couture (who are Australian designers)

Her gown was full-length and had a train - but the multi-coloured look also looks great in a short dress - see below.

Dannii Minogue dress week nine

type=textDannii wore a beautiful full-length one-shouldered orange dress with a slit up the side for the week nine (the semi-finals).

I thought the colour really suited her. Her hair was styled with a hairpiece, making it look like she'd put it up, which really suited her.

Dannii Minogue outfit week six - 2009

Dannii wore a strapless flowing gown in tan by Lisa Ho on the week six.

The most striking thing was her hair though - it was styled in a really flattering tousled look, and the modern necklace went really well with it.

Dannii Minogue dress week five

Dannii wore an elegant on-shouldered white dress on week five. The dress is by Australian designers Ralph and Russo, and I understand it costs £1950!

I wish her hairstyle hadn't been so gelled though. A softer tousled look would have suited her better.

Danni Minogue dress week 3 finals

Dannii wore a full-length lilac sequined gown to the week three finals.

Her hair was back to being short and crimped, and she looked like a Hollywood star of the 1940's

This dress too is by Aussie designers J'Aton couture

Dannii in week 2 Sunday results broadcast

Dannii Minogue wore a strapless short pink ruffled dress for the week 2 results episode on Sunday.

The dress is by her favourite Australian designers Ralph and Russo

She added extentions to her hair to make a pony tail. The dress looked splendid, not sure about the hairstyle - she should stick to the short hair.

Dannii Minogue bug pendant

In week 2 Dannii was wearing an interesting gold bug pendant - see picture. It looks like a bumble bee

It's been hard to find a high street equivalent - see below for the closest approximation.

Dannii Minogue at the second episode

Dannii wore another full-length evening gown to the second X-factor finals broadcast.

The dress is by Australian designers Ralph and Russo

And she's again gone for an unusual hairstyle - this time the hair is styled in the "New Romantic" style of the early 80's

Dannii's clothes first episode of the finals

Dannii wore a full-length dark pink halter-neck gown to the first episode of the X-factor finals. She wore her hair in a rolled 1940's/80's style.

I was not sure about the hair-style, but her dress was way better than Cheryl's (which had a transparent skirt).

Dannii Minogue X-factor auditions 2009

Dannii wore a brilliant little strapless floaty black and white dress to the X-Factor auditions, and paired it with a chunky gold necklace.

She keeps varying her hairstyle too - sometimes it is worn off the face, sometimes she has the fringe down
