At 93, Joan Collins is proving once again that style, confidence and a love of life never go out of fashion.
The legendary Dynasty star delighted fans by sharing a series of glamorous holiday photos from St Tropez, where she has been enjoying a sunshine-filled getaway with her husband, Percy Gibson, 61.
Joan Collins Looks Effortlessly Elegant by the Pool
Joan embraced the French Riviera heat in a timeless black-and-white striped one-piece swimsuit, pairing the elegant look with a wide-brimmed straw hat, oversized sunglasses and a delicate silver heart-shaped necklace.
One photo captured the Hollywood icon relaxing poolside with an iced coffee in hand and a radiant smile on her face, while another showed Percy sweetly wrapping a towel around her shoulders after a refreshing swim.
The couple also shared a glimpse of their romantic holiday, posing together on a sunbed and looking as loved-up as ever. Another snapshot featured Joan in a flowing white-and-blue patterned dress, perfectly matching the relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere.

Her Honest Heatwave Confession
Despite looking effortlessly glamorous, Joan admitted she was feeling the effects of the soaring temperatures sweeping across southern Europe.
Sharing the photos on Instagram, she wrote:
“Beating the heat in St. Tropez! When it’s 33C (92F) in the South of France it’s best to rely on hand fans, sunglasses, and lots of water! Nevertheless we are having a good time.”
Her candid caption quickly resonated with fans, who praised both her elegance and her refreshingly down-to-earth attitude.
The Secrets Behind Joan Collins’ Ageless Glow
While admirers often wonder how Joan continues to look so vibrant in her nineties, the actress says the answer isn’t found in complicated beauty routines.
Speaking previously, she revealed that gratitude is one of the biggest contributors to her wellbeing.
“I just love life,” Joan once said. “I wake up every morning, breathe the air, try to get a good night’s sleep, drink lots of water and take care of myself.”
Her positive outlook has become just as iconic as her decades-long career.
A Strict Rule She Never Breaks
Joan has also spoken openly about her disciplined approach to food.
In an interview with HELLO!, she revealed there’s one habit she never allows herself:
“Never, not before I go to bed.”
Explaining why she avoids late-night snacking, she compared the body to a luxury vehicle.
“I believe our body is a factory; it needs to be fed the right things. If you have a great car, you don’t put inferior petrol into it. I’m very fussy about what I eat.”
Keeping Active—Without Overdoing It
Exercise remains part of Joan’s routine, although she prefers to keep things simple.
She previously revealed that she works with a trainer a couple of times each week, focusing on gentle Pilates-style exercises instead of intense workouts or gym machines.
As for long walks?
They’re not exactly her favourite pastime.
“It bores me,” she admitted with characteristic honesty. “I’ll walk around my apartment tweaking the flowers, but that’s about it.”
