Worn at a charity bash at the Cannes, this awesome mask has caused some controversy.

Critics claim she's trying to look like Madonna. I think she looks fierce, and furthermore, masks are not a new thing to Ms. Minogue.

Kylie Minogue can pull off anything, whether it is glamor goddess, or good girl.

**Implications** - By using [eccentric masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therafacemask-glo) artists are able to transform their looks from plain and boring to over-the-top and exciting. Singers trying to set their careers on a new path can create a new image by attaching themselves to unique and crazy accessories. The more weird and bizarre the look they go for, the more press and recognition they seem to receive.
