Dame Joan Collins showed up to Vanity Fair’s Oscar party alongside her husband of over two decades, Percy Gibson. She wore a sequined green dress, which she accessorized with a matching clutch bag and dazzling emerald jewelry. She also strutted the red carpet in silver heels alongside her lover, who wore a suit with a matching bow tie.
The 90-year-old also posed with Best Actor nominee Colman Domingo, whom she congratulated hours before on Instagram, wishing him “the best for tonight.” Fans gushed over her shiny outfit, with some asking her to “get back on TV.” “Dame Joan, each of your photos is like a masterclass in glamor style!!! Keep shining,” a follower commented.

The glamor queen has been married multiple times since 1952 and has finally found love with Percy— who is significantly younger. “I’ve done it five times— and I finally have a wonderful marriage! Percy is 30-odd years younger than me, but I don’t even feel my age. I don’t even talk about it, I don’t even think about it,” she told Louis Theroux while filming a BBC documentary.

Like her, Percy works in the entertainment industry as a producer, and she met him in 2000 while working on one of his plays, Love Letters. “I kissed a lot of frogs before I found my prince. For those women who are looking for a life partner, that old saying that men are like buses and ‘if you wait long enough, the right one will come along’ is true for a reason,” she wrote in her 2011 memoir, The World According to Joan.
Is Joan Collins retiring soon?
Most people of Joan’s age prefer to kick it back and keep things simple. However, the ninety-year-old Dynasty star thinks there’s too much fuss about aging. “You see people in their 90s and 100s doing amazing things—running and jumping on Instagram—there’s no reason to fall apart,” she said last year. “I do my stretching exercises each morning, and I have a trainer on Zoom three times a week.”
Per retiring, Joan insists that work continues for her since “everybody’s gotten older except me.” “Why should I be defined by a number?” she asked, although admitting that things are not the same as before. “I am slowing down. Compared to what I was doing in ‘Dynasty’, I’m a snail. I’ll keep working if I’m asked,” she noted. “…I wanted to be successful, I wanted to make a living and in a world that I enjoy.”
