Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the Dynasty actress uploaded a bronzed photo of herself wearing a ruffled white top and a fabulous cream-hued fedora. The TV star, 91, accessorised with a wooden bangle and a sculptural necklace.

In the image, a radiant Joan could be seen beaming for the camera whilst holding a glass of chilled white wine. Captioning her update, Joan simply penned: "Cheers to the summer!" followed by a series of hashtags including one for Le Club 55 which is a much-loved beach club in St Tropez beloved by the likes of Kate Moss and Leonardo DiCaprio.

"I have always worn sun protection and have kept my face away from harmful rays since I was 20," she told You magazine in 2014.
"You should see me when I wake up in the morning: my face is so white, it's like a sheet."

Joan's lavish getaway comes after she nailed horticultural chic at the much-loved Chelsea Flower Show alongside her husband Percy Gibson.

She elevated her look with some stylish espadrilles and a fabulous wide-brim straw hat complete with a whimsical tulle bow.
Adding a dose of horticultural glamour, Joan also wore a dramatic floral brooch featuring pink-tipped petals and a pair of pearl-embellished flower earrings. Stunning!

Echoing his wife's elegant attire, Percy, 59, looked dapper in a pair of neutral chinos, a periwinkle blue shirt and a navy blazer studded with gleaming gold buttons.
Who is Percy Gibson?
Percy is a Hollywood producer known for his work on shows such as Who Wants to be a Millionaire. The star, who is 31 years Joan's junior, is her fifth husband, following her previous marriages to Maxwell Reed, Anthony Newley, Ron Kass, and Peter Holm.
"He takes care of everything," Joan told Saga magazine. "He takes care of my children and all our finances. He's the love of my life. It's a great marriage, a great relationship."
