Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the Dynasty star uploaded a wholesome video of herself sprucing up her sunny balcony area.

The clip showed Joan, 91, enthusiastically watering an array of leafy green plants, spiralling box hedges and vibrant pink flowers.

Dame Joan always looks fabulous

She accessorised with a pair of vintage style sunglasses and elevated her ensemble with some chunky gold earrings. For a pop of colour, Joan rounded off her look with a rich plum lipstick.

Addressing her followers, Joan said: "It's so windy but the sun is shining because of global warming, so I have to water all of my plants, because otherwise they will die."

Battling the breeze, she went on to say: "It's a beautiful day. It's much too windy for me, my hair is all over the place."

Joan's fans and friends raced to share their thoughts in the comments section. Heaping praise on the star, one follower remarked: "You must be the only person that looks glamorous in the wind," while a second wrote: "Still look amazing even with wind swept hair!" and a third penned: "A lovely balcony! I needed inspiration. Thank you."

Joan, 91, and her husband Percy Gibson, 59, primarily reside in Joan's flat in Belgravia which she's owned for over 30 years.

Reflecting on her home, she told Publishing Business: "I looked at about 60 flats in London. I wanted to be near the West End and the theatres, and near to Chelsea. I love Belgravia, it's wonderfully quiet."
