Dame Joan Collins oozed glamour as she donned a metallic silver pant suit for a VIP Cartier event. 

The Hollywood icon, 91, looked effortlessly stylish as she stepped out for the Cartier press viewing at the V&A Museum in London on Thursday.

For the VIP outing, Dame Joan donned a tailored silver suit jacket with matching wide-leg trousers. 

She paired the suit with a shimmery mirror-look blue underneath, and layered over a sparkly silver wool longline coat. 

Dame Joan accessorised with gold mesh stilettos and a huge pair of heart-shaped diamond drop earrings. 

She was seen walking arm-in-arm with American tennis player Rene Horsch as she headed into the iconic venue, and the pair were later pictured together inside the event.

In February, Joan confirmed that award-winning actress Isabella Rossellini has joined the cast of The Bitter End – a biopic about American socialite Wallis Simpson.

She took to Instagram to share the exciting news, revealing that the 72-year-old Conclave star will appear in the upcoming film.

Looking as glamorous as always, Joan told the camera: ‘I am so thrilled to announce that the wonderful actress Isabella Rossellini has agreed to be in our new movie, The Bitter End.

‘This is such a wonderful idea, and I think that she is going to just have a marvelous time, and I can’t wait to meet her and enjoy this story of two women at odds with each other, which is a really great script. 

‘And we are going to start soon, and I shall be announcing some other starry, starry announcements of other people that are going to be in it sooner rather than later.’

In the film, Joan will play Wallis, while Isabella will portray Suzanne Blum, who has been described in a press release as ‘the formidable French lawyer and confidante of Wallis Simpson.’

The Bitter End will be the debut project of new film studio founded by award winning entertainment producer John Gore, a 22-time Tony winner, as well as a recipient of two Emmys and two Oliviers.

In May, Joan will be celebrating her 92nd birthday, but she won’t have time to party, as she begins filming the new feature film. 

The actress said: ‘I am thrilled about the challenge of playing this iconic woman in a previously untold story and to be in John Gore Studios’ initial roster of what I’m sure will be a very successful endeavour.’

The five-time married British actress has graced screens for more than seven decades and is considered one of the last surviving actors from Hollywood’s golden age.

Meanwhile as an American divorcee who seduced a British royal, Wallis Simpson has been dubbed the original Meghan Markle.

Simpson was at the centre of the most scandalous love affair of the 20th century when she entered into a relationship and marriage with Prince Edward VIII, Prince of Wales and heir to the throne.

His obsession with Wallis subjected her to a brutal character ᴀssᴀssination. She was called a temptress and sorceress who had cast a spell on the fairy-tale Prince to become Queen.

In 1936, King Charles’s great-uncle Edward VIII’s chose to abdicate the throne to marry her.

The move clashed with his responsibilities as head of the Church of England – sparking a consтιтutional crisis which left the nation stunned and began a rift within the family that never healed. 

The couple went into exile in France at Villa Windsor, a 14-room Parisian townhouse, where they received guests including British fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley and his wife Diana.

The Duke had hoped his exile would be brief but he was never allowed to move back to Britain, with his brother the new King George VI threatening to cut off his allowance if he tried to return without an invitation.

Edward’s health deteriorated in the 1960s and towards the end of 1971, the Duke – a heavy smoker – was diagnosed with throat cancer.

Netflix’s The Crown depicted how, in May 1972 – ten days before his death – Edward was visited by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
