But when pop princess Kylie Minogue attended an awards ceremony this weekend, fashion savvy guests could have been forgiven for choking back a collective gasp of horror.
In the short space of one evening, Miss Minogue's carefully cultivated style credentials were slashed to shreds as she appeared in not one, but two disastrous outfits.
First, she walked the red carpet at the NRJ awards, in Cannes, wearing an astonishing dress which appeared to have been spattered with paint and finished off with a black plastic bin liner train.
The look, reminiscent of some of the worst excesses of the 1980s, was not improved by 39-year-old Kylie scraping her blonde hair back off her face in a severe style.
And should there have been any fashionistas who missed her first appearance, a swift costume change prompted a second fashion atrocity.
This time Kylie went on stage to perform attired in a cowl-necked chequerboard mini-dress chopped off at the thigh.
She may have hoped to recreate the space age splendour of the slinky white catsuit she wore for hit single Can't Get You Out My Head.
Instead her tiny form was in danger of being engulfed by the marauding neckline.
The look was also not helped by odd looking holes under the arms where the sleeves failed to meet the bodice.
