Joan Collins, 92, made the most of the warm weather on a recent family holiday to the French Riviera alongside a former Bond girl.
The Dynasty star looked ageless in a gorgeous white swimsuit and bohemian sun hat while soaking up the sun rays from the pool with actress Alison Papworth in new vacation photos. Alison, who appeared in the 1981 Bond film For Your Eyes Only and the 1983 instalment Octopussy, was effortlessly chic in a Chanel visor, statement gold earrings and bold red lipstick while relaxing in the water.
Joan was on godmother duty in more poolside photos with her godson, Felix Peacock, wearing a pair of statement sunglasses while the toddler, who is one of her 15 godchildren, splashed around in the water.
“Felix rocking the Riviera with his Godmother,” Felix’s mother, celebrity nutritionist Gabriela Peacock, wrote on Instagram. “The best day!” she added.
Joan spent quality time playing with the toddler in more vacation photos shared by Gabriela. The 92-year-old, who was glamorous as ever in an animal print cover-up and floppy sunhat with her signature bold lipstick on, was beaming as she shared a sweet side hug with her godson.

Joan has jetted to Saint Tropez on the French Riviera for a fun-filled holiday with her friends and husband, Percy Gibson.
Even when she’s off-duty, the star’s vacation photos proved she’s still a glamour queen. Joan got dolled up in a flattering white mini dress and channeled Old Hollywood with her hair blown out in bouncy curls and her bold makeup done flawlessly.
“This July is one of the hottest months ever in Saint Tropez but we’ve had a marvelous time in spite of it!” Joan gushed.

Along with being a mum of three and grandmother of four, Joan has 15 godchildren. Her youngest godson Felix was born to Gabriela and her financier husband David in January 2025.
“When Gabriela and David asked me to be godmother to their son, I was delighted,” Joan told HELLO!, as Gabriela exclusively shared photos from her son’s christening in the Cotswolds, which was attended by Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and singer James Blunt and his wife Lady Sofia Wellesley.
“Even though I already had 14 other godchildren, this tiny little baby was so adorable, full of light and laughter, even at a few months old, that I couldn’t resist. He was perfectly behaved at his christening and never even as much as yelped as he was passed from mummy to nanny and granny to godparents.”
“It’s such a privilege to have Joan as a godmother,” Gabriela told us. “Her warmth, wisdom and generosity of spirit make her the most wonderful guiding presence for Felix. “We feel truly lucky to have her in our lives.”
