Dame Joan Collins, 92, showcased timeless glamour during a stylish evening at the M&S Sparks launch at 180 The Strand, accompanied by her husband Percy Gibson, 61. She appeared effortlessly elegant in a shimmering satin outfit layered under a chic grey coat, complemented by a classic black quilted clutch and her signature bold red lipstick. Her perfectly styled hair and glowing complexion highlighted the enduring appeal that marks her iconic career.
Percy complemented her look in a sharp navy blazer and open-collar shirt. The couple arrived arm-in-arm, their chemistry evident as Joan smiled warmly, leaning into her husband for photos during this quintessential date night.
Their Enduring Romance
Joan and Percy married in February 2002, two years after meeting on the set of the play Love Letters, which he produced. “We hit it off immediately,” Joan Collins shared in an essay. “He was funny, engaging, good-looking, and after the show I would socialize with him, my co-star George Hamilton, and my daughter Katy.”
She added, “Although Percy is three decades younger than me, it didn’t matter as the camaraderie between us grew during that six-week theatre tour.” The pair bonded over shared values. Prior to Percy, Joan had four marriages: first to Maxwell Reed from 1952 to 1956, then to Anthony Newley from 1963 to 1971, with whom she shares children Tara and Alexander.

This outing reaffirms Joan’s status as a style icon, best known for portraying the formidable Alexis Carrington in Dynasty. Her career spans film, television, and stage, where she earned acclaim for her performances. As a bestselling author and cultural commentator, she embodies high glamour, sharp wit, and confidence.
