Dame Joan Collins displayed her trademark elegance while enjoying a summer holiday in Saint-Tropez amid record-high temperatures in the South of France. The 93-year-old actress was seen relaxing poolside, wearing a straw hat and oversized sunglasses, as she played with her one-year-old godson, Felix Peacock.

Felix, who is the 15th godchild of the "Dynasty" star, was accompanied by his mother, Gabriela Peacock, a 46-year-old nutritionist and former model. Gabriela described the day as a joyful occasion for her son. Also present was Collins’s husband of 24 years, Percy Gibson, 61, who was attentive throughout the outing.

The group’s company included Alison Papworth, 71, known for her roles as a Bond girl in films such as "For Your Eyes Only" and "Octopussy." Collins frequently shares moments from her life on Instagram, and her recent posts reflected both the intense heat and the enjoyment of her time spent with family and friends.

In one image, Gibson was seen wrapping a towel around Collins after she emerged from the pool, while another captured the actress dressed in a white outfit with a floral wrap, preparing for an evening meal. Collins has been recognized for her charitable work, having been made a Dame in 2015. She is also an ambassador for The Silver Line, a charity founded by her friend Dame Esther Rantzen aimed at supporting isolated older adults.

Despite the sweltering weather, Collins and her companions maintained a sophisticated and cheerful atmosphere during their summer retreat.
