Corset fan Kylie Minogue is not recession-proof.
The petite beauty was seen shopping for clothes at a charity shop in Melbourne.
Surprised onlookers at the Salvation Army store watched the Can't Get You Out of My Head singer spend just $40 (£19) on her spree.
"She was hiding under a hat and had the trademark big sunglasses on, but she still looked great," said shop manager Natasha Scott.
Ms Scott added: "She looked happy as she browsed around before buying a couple of summery dresses, a trendy little hat with a peak and a skirt."
Kylie, 40, confessed to readers of Elle UK last year that she had taken Botox injections to keep her face wrinkle-free.
"Everyone individually can do what they want," said the corset-loving singer, who was awarded in OBE in 2008.
"I also think it doesn't have the stigma that it had when I was growing up."
