Joan Collins has found the fountain of youth and never looked better than in new pictures from her lavish night out in Saint-Tropez.
The 91-year-old attended the birthday bash of Italian PR extraordinaire, actor and promoter Massimo Gargia, who turned 84 on Tuesday night.
She donned a stunning silver dress with shoulder cut-outs and arm ruffles for the event, harkening back to her screen siren days.
She paired the dress with dangling diamond earrings, diamond-encrusted bangles and a show-stopping snake-like diamond necklace. The look was completed with red lipstick and a fan to keep cool on the hot summer night.
Joan was joined by her husband of 22 years, Percy Gibson, who looked dapper in a white suit with a black shirt.
Percy, who is 32 years Joan's junior, is her fifth husband and longest marriage. Despite their age gap, the Dynasty actress has never been happier since their wedding in 2002.

"Percy is wonderful; he's my soul mate. That doesn't mean we don't bicker, but we are very understanding of each other," she said.
Her husband is a theater manager and film producer; the couple met when she starred in the play Love Letters in 2000, which he produced.

"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."
Joan and her husband seem to be in full vacation mode as they jet around Europe, even joining Elizabeth Hurley and her son, Damian, in the south of France last week.

"There's no traffic, it's right in the middle of the hills of Provence and has a fantastic view. I can see the sea in the distance and rolling hills around. It balms the soul."
As for how she looks that good at 91 years old? Sunscreen and discipline, she says.

Another trick of the trade is night cream, she said to The Mirror. "I'm very disciplined. I don't go to bed without taking off my make-up and putting on night cream. My mother had me and sister Jackie doing that when we were 14."
