Dame Joan Collins, 93, dazzled at film premiere, A Murder Between Friends, with best friend Elizabeth Hurley, 60, cheering her on.
The double act posed for pictures joined at the hip, giving fans the reunion they’d been hoping for at the UK premiere of Joan’s new whodunnit.
The 93 year old looked radiant in a black mid-length dress and matching cropped jacket embellished at the collar, a suitably chic choice for a woman who has long set the standard of timeless glamour. Elizabeth was also hard to miss, in a bright orange bodycon maxidess, accented perfectly with a gold clutch and sunglasses.

Other guests included Matt Goss and Tamara Beckwith, as well as Joan’s husband of over two decades, and co-producer of the Christie-inspired mystery, Percey Gibson.

I’ve never had Botox or anything in my face.” Stating that, "if you feel good you look good”, as she revealed she exercises up to four times a week. "I think it’s important, but not terribly strenuous anymore. You don’t get legs like this if you don’t!”
The star’s thoughts on cosmetic surgery in a world of botox and ozempic were also encouraging, stating "I’d never dream of doing something like that. I have seen too many disastrous faces.”
Instead, Joan accredits her age-defying skin to enough sleep, and regular SPF application to protect herself from harmful UV rays.

The carpet was a dazzling display of friendship between the two British icons - and if Dame Joan’s own philosophy is anything to go by, there is plenty more to come.
