Dame Joan Collins was the epitome of glitz and glamour on Wednesday night as she celebrated an exciting new collaboration. M&S Food has officially launched rosé season ahead of the first May Bank Holiday, led by legendary Hollywood icon and M&S Food ambassador Dame Joan.
Aptly, the Dynasty actress, 92, wore a pink look, featuring a rosé-hued suit. She donned a single-breasted blazer with the cigarette trousers to match. As ever with the Hollywood star, Joan was accessorised to perfection.

"Rosé season has arrived, though I’ve never been one to need permission to pour a glass," Dame Joan said. "Who needs the South of France when you can simply glide into your local M&S Foodhall and find the finest rosé right there? You don’t need a Riviera postcode to drink like an icon, just impeccable taste… preferably chilled."

"For picnics and summer parties, our brilliant-value Italian Rosato pouch is perfect for sharing. Whatever summer brings, you can always rely on a glass of sunshine when you have a rosé in your hand. Cheers!"
Dame Joan, who looked prime and ready for pink season, also revealed how she thinks rosé is best enjoyed, and we're taking note…
- Rosé always tastes better with a lovely view. Whether it’s picturesque surroundings, a sunlit terrace, or simply being with the right company.
- Rosé is sunshine in a glass. As such, it may be enjoyed come rain, shine, or any weather requiring a gentle morale boost.
- You don’t need a Riviera postcode to drink like the French, just impeccable taste, preferably chilled.
