Hollywood glamour: Joan Collins works diamonds and a black satin peplum dress at launch of her new autobiography

She is one of the most iconic stars in showbusiness with a career stretching back 60 years.

And Joan Collins looked the picture of Hollywood glamour as she attended the launch party for her autobiography Passion For Life wearing sleek black satin.

The Dynasty actress, 80, wore a figure-hugging peplum dress with flared sleeves to the event, which was held at the Westbury Hotel in Mayfair on Monday.

The author added an extra edge to her pencil skirted dress with fishnet stockings.

She also wore a diamond necklace, cuff bracelet, matching earrings and some jewelled
pointed-toe heels.
Her makeup was bold and classic with a bright red lipstick, burgundy nails and her characteristic sultry black eyeliner.

Joan’s autobiography, A Passion For Life, was released earlier this month and tells the stories of the actress’s adventures around the world.

She has recently been revealing extracts of the new book to the Daily Mail.

In her memoirs she reveals her thoughts about marriage and the men in her life, including the moment she lost her virginity to actor Laurence Harvey.

She also shares her thoughts on Warren Beatty who she said was an insatiable Lothario and how she now understands why married men were a mistake.

Other highlights are her encounters with Princess Diana, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the romantic story of her courtship and marriage to Percy Gibson.

The actress first followed in the footsteps of her novelist sister Jackie in 1988, with her first novel, Prime Time, which became a bestseller.

Since then she has published several novels, memoirs and lifestyle books, which include The Joan Collins Beauty Book.
