Joan Collins arrived at the London opening gala of Kinky Boots at the London Coliseum on Sunday night in a pink tartan skirt, a long leather trench coat and enough polish to make a red carpet pause. She was 92.
She finished the look with oversize shades, black gloves and a Lilith pendant, which she said was a gift from her daughter and carried “inspiration from the eternal goddess.” Fans later commented on her Instagram post after the appearance, turning a theater night into another round of attention for the screen icon.
The sighting came just months after Collins stepped out with her husband for the Los Angeles premiere of her film A Murder Between Friends in January 2026. It also followed an interview with Hello! magazine in which she said she would “never dream” of taking weight-loss drugs and said she had seen too many disastrous faces.
In that interview, she referred to “Ozempic face,” describing it as a look where “you see this body which is really tiny and this big face.” The remarks put her squarely in a current celebrity conversation about appearance, aging and the pressure to stay thin, even as she kept her own focus on clothes, jewelry and the theater night in London.
That matters because Kinky Boots, the Tony-winning musical about a Brit who saves his father’s shoe business, is built on the same kind of glamour and defiance Collins has spent decades making her own. On Sunday, she did not just attend the gala. She made the case that style, age and attitude can still share the same stage.
