Joan Collins, 92, flaunts her incredible figure in a chic white swimsuit as she basks in the sunshine in stunning snap in St Tropez
The legendary actress, 92, showed off her ageless physique in a stylish white one-piece as she enjoyed a spot of sunbathing in St Tropez.
Having previously said she's kept her face protected from the sun since her 20s, Joan sported a wide-brimmed red hat as she posed for a snap on her Instagram.
While she appeared to be enjoying some well-deserved downtime in the south of France, Joan told her followers she was already contemplating her next big role.
She captioned her post: 'The producer is thinking of making a sequel to Murder Between Friends.
'I played Francesca Carlyle who is a tv star and also a private detective. ( like shades of Agatha Christie & Murder She Wrote ).
'Meanwhile, I'm relaxing in the South of France in 90° heat. Thinking of my next move or next movie!'
It comes as Joan recently enjoyed a swanky outing with her husband Percy Gibson at a lavish dinner party in St Tropez.
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.'

Natalie Portman becomes frontrunner to play Sinead O'Connor in biopic about her life
Natalie Portman is reportedly the frontrunner to play Sinead O'Connor in a biopic about her life. The Irish Grammy-winning singer passed away from natural causes at the age of 56 in July 2023 - just 18 months after the death of her son. In the days leading up to her tragic passing, Sinead was rumoured to be deep in discussions for a biopic inspired by her life. Now, Natalie is said to be in the running to take on the role, with a source telling The Sun: 'Natalie is the actress the filmmakers want to play Sinéad. 'They think she is the spit of Sinéad in terms of her physicality but as an actress, they know she has the strength and power to do justice to Sinéad.' Earlier this week, Variety reported that Irish production company ie: entertainment, which executive produced the O'Connor documentary is behind the film. Daily Mail has contacted Natalie Portman's representative for comment. The film was previously have said to have been based on her June 2021 autobiography Rememberings. According to insiders in 2023, the iconic artist had been considering a star-studded cast for the pivotal role, which included Hollywood's Demi Moore. Irish actress Saoirse Ronan was also in the running to play an earlier stage in Sinead's life as well as Niamh Algar. A source explained that when exploring initial concepts for the film, Sinead liked the idea of a 'triptych approach' and envisioned a film that would spotlight three distinct actresses. They added that this creative direction playfully alluded to the Catholic Church's symbolic trinity of father, son, and the Holy Ghost and added a touch of satire into the narrative. An inquest into Sinead son Shane's death in November said the pair had a 'complex and turbulent' relationship but were also very close and 'in some way dependent on each other throughout their lives.' The body of Shane O'Connor, 17, was found in a secluded area at the back of a housing estate outside Bray, Co Wicklow on January 7, 2022 less than 24 hours after he was reported missing from Tallaght University Hospital in Dublin. The Nothing Compares 2 U singer, who formally identified her son's body to gardaí, died suddenly herself from natural causes just 18 months later in London. At the time of Shane's death, he was due to be under supervised 24/7 one-to-one care. A sitting of Dublin District Coroner's Court heard the teenager had been brought to the emergency department by his mother on December 29, 2021 after a drug overdose, in what was believed to be an attempted suicide. Sinead O'Connor's father Sean described how his daughter and Shane were 'very close.' 'They loved each other madly,' he observed. Mr O'Connor outlined how the singer was also suffering mental health issues around the same time of her son's death.
