Joan Collins, a true icon by any standard, continues to dazzle as she enters her 90s. While her most flamboyant days may be behind her, she’s far from done showcasing her confidence and elegance.

Known for her timeless poise and grace, Joan sets a standard that many of today’s celebrities could learn from. The English-born actress, most famous for her role as Alexis Carrington Colby on the hit soap opera Dynasty, became an international superstar in the 1980s. At the height of the show’s popularity in 1984, she was earning $15,000 per episode, with 21 million households tuning in weekly to watch her portray the fierce and independent Alexis.

“She was the first empowered woman on TV. And I got a lot of flack for it,” Joan told CBS in 2019. “She’s such a ballbreaker, so bitchy, such a vixen! I was just standing up for myself as an independent woman!”

Incredibly, Collins remains active in the entertainment industry 70 years after her first on-screen appearance. In 2022, she appeared in two film projects, Tomorrow Morning and The Gentle Sex, and is currently working on In Bed with the Duchess. Additionally, she remains engaged with fans through social media.

Recently, Joan set social media abuzz with a sizzling swimsuit photo shared during Christmas. While much of the US faced cold weather and storms, Joan basked in the Beverly Hills sunshine alongside her 57-year-old husband, Percy Gibson.

“Had a terrific #christmasday,” Joan wrote to her nearly 300k followers on December 26. “82F in #beverlyhills so was able to #swim and then a wonderful #lunch at the Bricusse’s—thank you @adambricusse and Evie!”

Fans couldn’t help but admire Joan’s sleek leopard print swimsuit, with many commenting on how radiant she looked despite nearing 90.

Married five times, Joan has expressed some regrets about her past relationships but speaks fondly of her current marriage to Percy, whom she wed in 2002. During the pandemic, Joan reflected on how lockdown deepened their bond. “Being in lockdown has made me realize how strong our relationship really is,” she shared. “The great thing is we’re partners in crime, accomplices.”

Joan Collins continues to inspire, proving that age is just a number. Her confidence, beauty, and legendary status only seem to grow with time.
