At 92, Joan Collins proved once again that age is just a number as she stepped out in style with her husband Percy Gibson, 61, at the star-studded launch of Marks & Spencer’s revamped Sparks loyalty programme.
The legendary actress turned heads at the glamorous event held at 180 The Strand, where she mingled effortlessly among a host of famous faces including Vicky Pattison, Jodie Kidd, AJ Odudu and Jess Wright.
Dressed to impress, Joan exuded timeless elegance in a silver satin blouse paired with a chic grey coat and open-toe wedges — a look that showcased her signature glamour and effortless confidence. By her side, Percy cut a dashing figure in a pale blue shirt and navy jacket, the couple once again proving that their 30-year age gap has done nothing to dim their undeniable chemistry.
The event itself celebrated a major update to M&S’s Sparks scheme, introducing a digital wallet that allows customers to earn real-money rewards — while still keeping fan-favourite perks like birthday treats, coffee stamps, and charity donations.
But while the evening sparkled with celebrity appearances — from Frida Redknapp’s chic denim look to loved-up appearances by Samia Longchambon and her husband Sylvain — it was Joan’s unapologetic stance on beauty trends that truly stole the spotlight.
In a candid admission, the screen icon revealed she would “never dream” of using popular weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic or Wegovy, despite their growing popularity among celebrities.
She explained she doesn’t believe in “needles and things,” adding that she has never had Botox or any cosmetic procedures on her face. Reflecting on the trend, she warned she had seen “too many disastrous faces.”
Joan went on to insist that the key to weight loss is far simpler — saying people should just cut down rather than rely on injections. She added that life should be enjoyed, not spent surviving on extreme diets, joking that nobody wants to “live on a celery stick.”
Even in a room full of stars, it was clear: Joan Collins remains the main event — not just for her timeless beauty, but for speaking her mind without apology.
