Paris - a favourite stomping ground - always seems to have a special effect on Kylie Minogue. And returning to the city of light surrounded by her closest friends the pop princess was looking absolutely radiant.

After a romantic stay in Barcelona with new man Andres Velencoso, this week was more about catching up with pals and, of course, the jet set equivalent of window shopping - checking out the haute couture shows.

Jean Paul Gaultier created the costumes for last year's KylieX2008 tour and is also part of the singer's inner circle, so it wasn't surprising to find Kylie and her personal stylist William Baker, who's also a close pal, front row at Gaultier's spectacular turn of the century-themed show.

Also seeing what the former enfant terrible is proposing for spring/summer 2009 were Catherine Deneuve and Lou Doillon, the daughter of Sixties icon Jane Birkin.
