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.<ref>{{cite web|last=Erika Brooks Adickman|date=25 May 2012|title=Happy Birthday, Kylie Minogue!

By her choosing of outfits on the tour, the title "SexKylie" was given by the media in this period.

==Background and development==
{{See also|Rhythm of Love Tour}}
The tour is an updated version of her last tour [[Rhythm of Love Tour|promoting for ''Rhythm of Love'']].<ref name="St. Clarke">{{cite book |last=St. Clarke |first=Jenny |date=2002 |title=Kylie: Naked |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=B1-_BAAAQBAJ&q=Kylie+Impossible+Remixes&pg=PT175 |location=London, United Kingdom |publisher=Edury Press |isbn=978-0-09-188096-5 |access-date=15 October 2016}}</ref> A whole new stage wardrobe was conducted by British fashion designer [[John Galliano]] in Minogue's first collaboration with a major fashion designer.<ref name="St. Clarke"/>

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."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kylie.com.br/galeria/004_Impressos/Revistas/1991/clothes_show/1991_CS_Mag_3.jpg|format=JPG|title=Photographic image|website=Kylie.com|access-date=23 May 2023}}</ref>

==Reception==
After the first show of the tour, a [[tabloid (newspaper format)|tabloid]] accused Minogue of copying [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]'s look from her [[Blond Ambition World Tour]].<ref name="St. Clarke"/>

Writing for ''[[Evening Chronicle|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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/kylie-minogue-flashback-last-three-8059276|title=Kylie Minogue: Flashback to her last three tours on Tyneside|first=Gordon|last=Barr|date=7 November 2014|website=ChronicleLive|access-date=23 May 2023}}</ref><ref name="irishexaminer.com">{{cite news | url=http://www.irishexaminer.com/examviral/real-life/kylie-minogue-doesnt-regret-these-bold-outfit-choices-315579.html | title=Kylie Minogue doesn't regret these bold outfit choices | date=2 March 2015 | newspaper=Irish Examiner | access-date=12 October 2016 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/i577565-8/10-most-memorable-kylie-fashion-moments-kylie-minogue.html#~pnP3XVaTTvXHlp|title=10 most memorable Kylie fashion moments<!-- Bot generated title -->|website=Digitalspy.co.uk|access-date=23 May 2023}}</ref>

Minogue also caused lots criticisms for her choice of costume on the tour.<ref name="St. Clarke"/> When being asked about the subject on [[Tonight Live with Steve Vizard]], Minogue stated:

{{blockquote|"I would like to think that people in England—and also around the world—don't take what they say as being gospel. I actually had a lot of really good press, and so, as far as I can tell it was about time to give me a hard time, but, for me, the only way I can judge the shows was from the audiences' reactions and they were just great. And of course the outfits were a bit, maybe, a little bit too much, but that wasn't a mistake, that was meant to cause a bit of a stir."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sCmCgSmkNo | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309122743/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sCmCgSmkNo | archive-date=9 March 2016 | title=- YouTube | website=[[YouTube]] }}</ref>}}

In 2013, [[VH1]] listed her in the fishnet costume as one of her ten most "butt-iful" moments.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.vh1.com/news/xtx8st/kylie-minogues-10-most-butt-iful-moments | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230408213633/https://www.vh1.com/news/xtx8st/kylie-minogues-10-most-butt-iful-moments | url-status=live | archive-date=8 April 2023 | title=Kylie Minogue's 10 Most Butt-iful Moments | first=Meghan | last=O'Keefe | date=15 April 2013 |  publisher=VH1 | access-date=12 October 2016 }}</ref> ''[[Irish Examiner]]'' called the outfit "risque", but stated: "There IS such a thing as too much fishnet, and this is definitely overstepping the mark."<ref name="irishexaminer.com"/>
