At 89, Joan Collins is defying aging. It's been a very frosty December in much of the U.S., but Collins spent Christmas turning up the heat in a leopard print swimsuit. She shared a photo of herself and husband Percy Gibson, 57, enjoying some fun in the sun for the holidays. Collins's accomplishments could fill up several news articles on their own but at just a glance she's easily recognizable as the scheming, opulent Alexis Colby from Dynasty. Outside of that nefarious role, however, she's known for extensive philanthropic work. Christmas day was all about enjoying some much-deserved relaxation time.

"Had a terrific #christmasday," she informed her almost 300k followers. "82F in #beverlyhills so was able to #swim and then a wonderful #lunch at the Bricusse’s- thank you @adambricusse and Evie!" 82 degrees is a number not all parts of the country can imagine this particular December as unprecedented blizzard conditions slam several states.
