Joan Collins, – At 93, Joan Collins stepped into the Variety Power of Women event in London in a gold sequined top and black flared skirt—continuing a run of high-profile appearances this year that includes her Cannes Film Festival return for the premiere of her upcoming film
Joan Collins didn’t ease into the spotlight in London—she arrived like she belonged there.
At 93. the Dynasty star walked into the Variety Power of Women Event in London looking “as youthful as ever. ” turning heads in a gold sequined long-sleeved top paired with a black flared skirt. She kept the rest of the look grounded with simple black flats and stockings. then finished with bold statement gold earrings.
The outing landed on June 3, and it followed a busy stretch of visibility that has turned her latest red-carpet moments into a kind of running statement: she’s not stepping back—she’s choosing her pace.
Last month, Collins attended the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, where her upcoming film My Duchess premiered. For the occasion. she wore a Stephane Rolland Haute Couture white gown complete with black opera gloves—an appearance that stood out not just for style. but for what it meant. Collins’ attendance at Cannes marked her first appearance there since 2018.
The Cannes trip also came after a gap in on-screen appearances. Prior to signing on, she hadn’t appeared on screen since 2022, and the way the timing lined up was part of what was discussed at the event.
During the Variety gathering. producer John Gore explained that Collins’ starring role felt “kismet” after she presented at the Emmys in 2024—an origin story that frames her recent return as more than a career comeback. but a turning point that found its footing in the middle of the attention she’s drawn again over the past few months.
In London, the details of her outfit did the talking. In Cannes, the details of her return—and the path back to her next starring role—carried the weight.
