At 93, Joan Collins is proving that glamour has no age limit. The Dynasty legend looked radiant as she shared sun-soaked moments from her Saint-Tropez holiday, enjoying poolside life at the French Riviera villa she shares with husband Percy Gibson, 61.
In one striking snap, Joan wore an elegant off-the-shoulder white dress with a purple wrap. In another, she enjoyed the pool alongside former Bond actress Alison Papworth, who appeared in For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy.
Despite the intense July heat, Joan was clearly determined to enjoy every moment. Her villa was filled with friends, family and familiar faces, turning the glamorous getaway into a lively summer gathering.
“This July is one of the hottest months ever in Saint Tropez but we’ve had a marvelous time in spite of it!” she shared.
Fans were quick to react, calling her “fabulous” and “iconic.” But behind Joan’s timeless appearance is a surprisingly simple philosophy.
She has long spoken about embracing a balanced lifestyle rather than chasing perfection. Joan avoids too much junk food, focuses on quality ingredients and believes good nutrition matters just as much as skincare. She enjoys avocados, takes vitamins and omega oils, but refuses to deny herself life’s pleasures. If she wants pudding or a glass of fizz, she enjoys it.
She also continues to dance and stay active, while openly rejecting exaggerated beauty trends. Joan has said she prefers people to retain their natural individuality rather than trying to look like someone else.
Genetics may play a part, as she readily admits, but perhaps her greatest secret cannot be found in any beauty treatment.
It is her attitude.
Joan posed for a sweet snap with her family and friends and wrote: ‘This July is one of the hottest months ever in Saint Tropez but we’ve had a marvelous time in spite of it!’
At 93, Joan is still travelling, dressing beautifully, swimming, dancing, entertaining friends and enjoying her marriage of more than two decades. Her Saint-Tropez home is often so busy with visitors that she jokingly compares it to a hotel.
And perhaps that is what makes these latest photographs so captivating.
Joan Collins is not trying to turn back time. She is simply refusing to let age decide how she should live.
At 93, the diamonds still sparkle, the parties continue and Joan remains unmistakably herself — proving that true glamour may have far more to do with confidence, joy and living fully than the number on a birthday cake.
