Joan Collins looked better than ever as she hosted her famous friends at her home in St Tropez, proving that age is just a number as she soaked up the sunshine. The 93-year-old was stunning in an off-the-shoulder white dress with a light brown pattern, which she paired with chunky metallic bangles and bright pink lipstick.
Joan was pictured laughing alongside Elizabeth Hurley’s son, Damian Hurley, as she sipped a glass of white wine, in a snap shared to his Instagram page.
Damian also shared a photo with his mother’s partner, musician Billy Ray Cyrus, as they dined out in St Tropez. “Thank you @joancollinsdbe for a magical adventure,” he captioned the post, as fans rushed to the comment section to exclaim over her ageless beauty.
“Joan looks amazing!!!” wrote one, while another added: “Love Joan she’s just incredible,” and a third chimed in: “The remarkable Dame Joan Collins.”
Joan and Elizabeth’s close bond

“Here I am, with all my friends and we’re all spending her money. So happy, whatever day it is. Thursday or Friday, Saturday,” Joan quipped as she drew Elizabeth into the frame. “Thank you mommy dearest,” Elizabeth joked, prompting Joan’s reply of: “Forget the mommy!”
Her best beauty secrets
Joan appears to have barely aged since she cemented her star power in Dynasty, and shared with HELLO! that she maintained her incredible physique by avoiding snacking and being mindful of her diet.
“Never, not before I go to bed,” she said when asked about snacking.
“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.”
The star added that “if you feel good, you look good”, and likes to exercise four times a week. “I think it’s important, but it’s not terribly strenuous any more. You don’t get legs like this if you don’t!”

“I don’t believe in needles and things. I’ve never had Botox or anything in my face,” she said. “I’d never dream of doing something like that. I have seen too many disastrous faces.”
Working out at 93
© Instagram/ @joancollinsdbeJoan told The Telegraph that her preferred workout method was Pilates, as it was more interesting and intense than walking. “I work out with my trainer a couple of times a week – just basic Pilates-type exercise, rather than using one of those [reformer] Pilates machines, though,” she explained.
“[I like] the fact that I can really feel my body working. I might do 250 crunches, but my body is so used to them that I don’t really feel them. With Pilates, I can really feel my abdominals even if I only do six or 12 repetitions.”
