Joan Collins Dishes on Aging Gracefully in Hollywood (Exclusive)
It was an outing fit for a dame.
Joan Collins certainly made that clear as she arrived at the Variety Power of Women Event in London, looking as youthful as ever at 93.
For the June 3 outing, Dynasty star sported a gold sequined long-sleeved top with a black flared skirt skirt. She topped off her look with simple black flats, stockings and bold statement gold earrings.
While Collins’ latest high-profile appearance was head-turning, she has had plenty of engagements in the last few months. Last month, she attended the opening ceremony of Cannes Film Festival—where her upcoming film My Duchess premiered—in a jaw-dropping Stephane Rolland Haute Couture white gown complete with black opera gloves.
Collins’ attendance at the film festival marked her first appearance there since 2018. Prior to signing on, she hadn’t appeared on screen since 2022, but producer John Gore explained during the event that her starring role was kismet after she presented at the Emmys in 2024.
“I just saw the audience go crazy over her,” Gore recalled to Deadline at the festival last month. “She’s not forgotten and she seems as beloved, if not more so.”
Indeed, Gore was “fascinated” by Collins’ impressive career.
“Obviously, she was a big movie star,” he continued. “She was above Richard Burton in an early movie Sea Wife. He was a supporting player and clearly she was in this huge trajectory and then ended up having kids and doing a load of TV.”

Meanwhile, the actress—who also appeared in A Murder Between Friends, which premiered earlier this year—has no plan to slow down, no matter what her next role might be.
“A question I’m often asked is, ‘Why are you still working?’” Collins told the New York Times in 2024. “It’s such a fatuous thing to say. I keep on working because I love being busy.”
As the mom of three put it, “I refuse to be defined by a number, by an age. I think that’s terribly old-fashioned and not relevant in today’s world.”
After its Cannes premiere, My Duchess doesn’t yet have an official release date, but keep reading for more movies to catch before seeing Collins’ latest film…
