The Let's Get to It Tour was the fourth concert tour by Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue. As stated by Minogue herself in 1991, the tour was technically a continuation of the previous Rhythm of Love Tour which had already visited Australia and Asia. In addition to revising the setlist, she assembled a new band to work with her existing musical director and choreographer. Backed by her five dancers, Minogue mounted the tour in support of her fourth studio album Let's Get to It (1991).
The show comprised an all-new couture wardrobe created by John Galliano and several new additions to the set list from the new album, many of which were written by Minogue herself. She wore a plastic raincoat, which was designed by Galliano.[1] [2]
By her choosing of outfits on the tour, the title "SexKylie" was given by the media in this period.
See also: Rhythm of Love Tour. The tour is an updated version of her last tour promoting for Rhythm of Love.[3] A whole new stage wardrobe was conducted by British fashion designer John Galliano in Minogue's first collaboration with a major fashion designer.[3]
In August 1991, Minogue said she was churning ideas around about different costumes, different designers and so on. Speaking on her inspiration for the tour's fashion, she said "Well, I don't know if this makes any sense but I'm looking into the future for inspiration. It probably sounds a bit odd but I know what I mean by it. Every one – me included – usually looks back into the past to get inspired for a new look but I'm trying to imagine what life's going to be like in the year 2000."[4]
After the first show of the tour, a tabloid accused Minogue of copying Madonna's look from her Blond Ambition World Tour.[3]
Writing for Chronicle Live in 2014, Gordon Barr said the performance she gave on the tour was a "polished" one he has seldom seen at the many other gigs he has been to.[5] [6] [7]
Minogue also caused lots criticisms for her choice of costume on the tour.[3] When being asked about the subject on Tonight Live with Steve Vizard, Minogue stated:
In 2013, VH1 listed her in the fishnet costume as one of her ten most "butt-iful" moments.[8] Irish Examiner called the outfit "risque", but stated: "There IS such a thing as too much fishnet, and this is definitely overstepping the mark."[6]
