Minogue was awarded the Order of the British Empire (O.B.E.) at Buckingham Palace in 2008 "for services to music". While in the same year, she was made a knight in the Order of Arts and Letters from the French Government for her "contribution to the enrichment of French culture" where at a ceremony in Paris she received the Chevaliers of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knighthood of Arts and Literature).
