Kylie Minogue’s GQ shoot inspired from old Coppertone ad

Pop princess Kylie Minogue joins the ranks of Carmen Electra and Jim Carrey as the latest to be inspired by the Fifties Coppertone ad

The singer posted a sneak peek of the top half of the post on Instagram with the caption: “#GQ Italy… It’s Summertime!”
