Joan Collins proved once again that age is nothing but a number as she turned heads on the red carpet at the opening gala of Kinky Boots at the London Coliseum on Sunday.
The legendary actress, 92, looked effortlessly glamorous in a striking pink tartan co-ord, pairing a tailored blazer with a matching skirt that radiated classic star power. She layered a long black trench coat over the ensemble and completed the look with practical black boots — a perfect blend of elegance and comfort.
Adding her signature flair, Joan accessorised with black gloves, a sleek leather handbag, oversized dark sunglasses, and a distinctive Lilith pendant — a subtle nod to mystical symbolism that only added to her timeless allure.
Her appearance came as the West End welcomed Kinky Boots, the Tony Award-winning musical that follows Charlie Price, a man struggling to save his late father’s failing shoe factory. In a bold twist, he teams up with drag performer Lola to create high-heeled boots for drag artists — a story of reinvention, identity, and survival. The new run also features Strictly Come Dancing star Johannes Radebe in the cast, bringing fresh energy to the beloved show.
But it wasn’t just her dazzling look that had people talking.
Joan recently made headlines for her outspoken stance against modern weight-loss trends — particularly injectable drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which have surged in popularity worldwide.
Speaking candidly, she dismissed the idea outright, saying she has no intention of ever turning to such methods. She explained that she doesn’t believe in “needles and things” and revealed she has never had Botox or any facial procedures.
She also issued a blunt warning about what she sees as the downsides of these treatments, noting she has seen too many “disastrous faces” as a result. Instead, Joan championed a far simpler approach to staying healthy, insisting that if people want to lose weight, they should just “cut down” rather than rely on injections.
She added that life is meant to be enjoyed — not spent surviving on extreme restrictions, joking that nobody wants to live on “a celery stick.”
At 92, Joan Collins isn’t just defying age — she’s rewriting the rules entirely, proving that confidence, style, and a no-nonsense attitude never go out of fashion.
