Dame Joan Collins, 92, turns heads with her timeless elegance during a date night at the M&S Sparks launch held at 180 The Strand in London. She arrived arm-in-arm with her husband, Percy Gibson, 61, showcasing their enduring chemistry.
Elegant Ensemble and Radiant Presence
Collins captivates in a shimmering satin outfit layered under a sleek grey coat. She completes the look with a black quilted clutch and her iconic bold red lipstick. Her perfectly styled hair and glowing skin highlight her enduring allure from a storied career. Gibson complements her sharply in a navy blazer and open-collar shirt. The pair smiles warmly for photos, leaning close in a picture of affection.
Enduring Romance
The couple married in February 2002, two years after meeting on the set of the play Love Letters, which Gibson produced. “We hit it off immediately,” Collins recalled. “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 noted their strong connection despite the 30-year age gap. “Although Percy is three decades younger than me, it didn’t matter as the camaraderie between us grew during that six-week theatre tour,” she added. They bonded over shared values.
Collins entered this marriage after four others. She wed Maxwell Reed in 1952 and divorced in 1956. Her union with Anthony Newley began in 1963; they had children Tara and Alexander before parting in 1971.
Style Icon and Legacy
This outing reaffirms Collins’ role as a fashion trailblazer. Famous for portraying Alexis Carrington in Dynasty, she embodies glamour, wit, and boldness. Her achievements span film, TV, stage, authorship, and advocacy. In 2015, she received her Dame title for charity contributions, solidifying her influence.
