Kylie Minogue has celebrated her 25th year in pop music - and her birthday - with an Outstanding Contribution gong.
The Aussie star, who turned 44 on Monday, was presented with the title by Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears at the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards.
Kylie, who wore a shimmering gold, floor-length Stella McCartney gown, said of her award: "I don't know how I ended up here when I started out in dungarees (in Neighbours) pretending I could fix a car.
"I nearly blew up my first car as I didn't realise it had water and oil and all that stuff."
She added that she "hoped to become a better woman. Like my grandma. She's really my icon. I'd like to dedicate this to my grandma and mother".
Domino singer Jessie J was crowned best Solo Artist at the glittering event, with Will.i.am attending to hand his fellow Voice star her award.
Jessie J said of her win: "I'm loving that last year I was a girl and this year I'm a woman. I've got my bum out more."
US star Kelly Rowland, who has left a vacancy in the judging panel of the X Factor after quitting the show, won the TV Personality gong.
Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden was named best Theatre Actress for her role as Princess Fiona in Shrek The Musical.
Amanda said she was thrilled with her award because theatre was her "first love".
* Worst Glamour Awards dresses
Other winners at the London bash, hosted by Graham Norton, include This Morning and The Voice host Holly Willoughby for best Presenter.
Moyles presented Fearne Cotton with her sixth Glamour award, joking: "They keep giving it to her because they know she'll turn up and she's very pretty," and said of his own weight loss: "I'm the n ew Gary Barlow."
Downton Abbey star Jessica Brown Findlay (Lady Sybil Crawley) won top UK TV actress while her co-star Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary) took the Editor's Special award.
Jessica dedicated her award to all the "wonderful, wonderful women in Downton".
Florence And The Machine were named best band, Lily Collins, the actress daughter of pop star Phil Collins, won the Breakthrough award, The Help star Viola Davis took the Film Actress award and Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria won an Inspiration gong.
Viola said: "Hollywood says that women can't make films that make money. The Help came out in the same year as Bridesmaids. It's girl power."
Lea Michele, who won best US TV actress for Glee and took her mother to the awards, said the drama "showed kids what true beauty is, and to be comfortable in your own skin".
Singer Dionne Warwick was named this year's Icon, in an award presented by Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood.
Host Norton opened the ceremony with a couple of risqué jokes, saying model Yasmin Le Bon had shaved her armpits for the event, and that he was feeling nervous, shaking like fashion designer "John Galliano in a synagogue".
He said of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee: "For younger me mbers of the audience I should point out that a Diamond Jubilee is 60 years on the throne. She hasn't had a vajazzle. As far as we know."
The awards, in their ninth year, are the result of around 330,000 votes by readers of Glamour magazine and its website.
