Four years after she beat breast cancer, Kylie Minogue is raising awareness of the disease in a stunning new campaign.
The 41-year-old strips off and wears nothing but a smile and silk sheet with the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer logo across in a striking image taken by acclaimed photographer Mario Testino.
Joining Minogue in the revealing new campaign, which kicks off today, is pregnant supermodel Claudia Schiffer and actress Sienna Miller.
Minogue's involvement in the campaign comes nearly five years after she was diagnosed with the disease in May 2005.
After a year of treatment, which involved a partial mastectomy to remove a malignant tumour, followed by eight months of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the pop star was given the all clear in 2006 and was able to resume her Showgirl tour in November 2006.
She said: 'It means so much to me to be part of this year's campaign for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer.
'I wholeheartedly support their efforts to raise funds for the vital work undertaken by Breakthrough Breast Cancer.'
The new images coincide with the launch of the new Target campaign, which raises money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer in partnership with various retail outlets.
The campaign has raised over £10.5million for the charity since it launched in 1996.
Thirty per cent of items on sale for the campaign will go directly to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
