Joan Collins cut a stylish figure as she and her husband, Percy Gibson, attended Frederic Merlin’s lavish dinner party in Saint-Tropez, France, on Friday.
The actress, 92, showcased her timeless sense of style at the event, held at the upscale beachside Italian restaurant Gigi Ramatuelle.
For the occasion, she oozed sophistication in a chic white dress paired with a matching blazer, which featured cape sleeves and intricate flamingo and palm tree embroidery.
She added height with a pair of white open-toed heels as she arrived arm-in-arm with Percy, who is 32 years her junior.
Meanwhile, Percy, 60, looked dapper in a grey checked double-breasted blazer layered over a pale pink shirt.
He completed the summery look with white skinny jeans and cream loafers.

Percy is the Dynasty star’s fifth husband, with the pair tying the knot at London’s Claridge’s in February 2002.
The American Horror Story star was previously married to Maxwell Reed, Anthony Newley, Ron Kass and Peter Holm.
Originally from Peru, Percy is a noted Hollywood producer, known primarily for producing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Their outing comes after it was revealed that Joan regards Donald Trump as one of her ‘closest lifelong friends,’ according to sources who say the Hollywood icon has ‘never been shy about her love’ for the politician.
The Dynasty star raised eyebrows earlier this year after she was named as a pro-MAGA patriot while attending a ‘pre-inauguration celebration’ with right-wing friends.
The iconic actress was seen having a ‘lovely dinner with friends’ in a picture shared by conservative actor James Woods to his X account.
Seeing the star alongside Woods and other outspoken MAGA fanatics led many fans to share their surprise that Joan is associated with the group.
However, a source exclusively explained to DailyMail.com that it should come as ‘no surprise at all’ as the president-elect is one of her ‘closest friends.’

‘To Joan, Donald is not just a former president and soon-to-be MAGA president, but he is also one of her closest lifelong friends,’ the insider began. ‘She has run in his circle for 40 years, and they have so much love for one another.’
The source noted that Joan has openly praised Trump for helping to inspire her beloved Dynasty character, Alexis Carrington Colby.
‘It is no secret that Joan modelled her famous Alexis character on Dynasty after Donald,’ the insider continued. ‘She has discussed her inspiration countless times over the years and said it was half Donald Trump and half another friend of hers.
‘She took Donald’s ‘ruthlessness’ for Alexis. Joan has never been shy about her love for Donald.’
The source also highlighted Joans’ close relationship to both Trump and his late ex-wife, Ivanna.
The insider added: ‘But it was not only Donald that is a huge part of her life, but Donald’s ex-wife Ivanna, Ivanka’s mom. Joan and Ivanna were so beyond close and remained friends until Ivanna’s death.
‘Joan was heartbroken when Ivanna passed because she was one of the only people who truly got her. She never let Donald and Ivanna’s divorce change her love and respect for each of them.’
Opening up about the British icon’s decision to support her friend amid his political campaigns at the time, the insider continued: ‘Joan has always been quiet about her political affiliations because she does not believe this needs to be broadcast.’

Joan raised eyebrows earlier this year as she was pictured at a dinner with MAGA loving celebrities including James Woods and John Voight
DailyMail.com contacted reps for Joan for comment at the time.
Collins’ fifth husband, Percy, was also at the gathering, which had started out as a ‘post-Christmas dinner.’
Woods explained in the picture caption: ‘It evolved from a post-Christmas dinner to a pre-Inauguration celebration. Not often in Hollywood you can be surrounded by patriots. What a joyous night.’
Also in attendance was actor Jon Voight, who is Angelina Jolie’s father.
