Gazing up at the dark, handsome man by her side, it's clear Kylie Minogue is still besotted with her boyfriend of five years Andrés Velencoso. The couple made a rare red carpet appearance at the annual amfAR Cinema against AIDS benefit in Cannes, and looked picture perfect as they cuddled up together outside the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc. The Australian singer looked incredible in a plunging white Roberto Cavalli gown that showed off her curves and featured a sexy thigh-high split. Looking years younger than her age, the star, 44, was the belle of the ball at the glamorous celebrity event.
