Dynasty star Joan added extra sparkle to her chic ensemble with a dazzling diamond necklace and chandelier earrings.
She accentuated her age features with glamorous makeup, including a classic red lip.
Joan made a rare outing without husband Percy Gibson, 59, and was instead joined by friends including sister-in-law Hazel and British entrepreneur Ivan Massow.

It comes after Joan revealed she believes woke culture has gone out of control and robbed Britain of its sense of humour.
The actress did not hold back and addressed the changing culture, especially in the showbiz world, regarding the word actress.
Joan insisted she prefers to be called “actress” and finds the term “female actor” derogatory.
Speaking with Andrew Pierce in an interview on GB News On Friday, Joan made it clear: “In general, I like being called an actress. It’s a very beautiful word and it’s feminine, and I consider myself feminine and feminist.
‘Why should we be called female actors? I find it humiliating, to be honest.’
When the broadcaster asked whether the wokery had gone a bit too far, the star replied: ‘My God, yes, you know I do that.
‘I think things have really gotten out of hand. You can’t say anything. People get offended. We’ve lost our British sense of humour.’
“I grew up with my dad going there – because he was a variety show agent – and so we would go and see outrageous comedians making jokes about their mother-in-law and fat people.

‘You can’t say that now. You can’t say things like that anymore.’
The star added, “When I’m in a room with some actors and actresses, I call us actors, and sometimes I call myself a working actor too,” she added. “But in general I like to be called an actress.”
It’s not the first time Joan has spoken out against woke culture after she took part in a heated debate in 2018 when she was questioned about the campaign to ban the song Baby It’s Cold Outside.
During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, the veteran actress sided with outspoken presenter Piers Morgan, claiming the world has gone PC mad and things are ‘getting worse and worse’ in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
Joan said the art of seduction will be eradicated as modern consent culture “goes out of control”, criticizing current cultural attitudes towards sexuality.
The debate took place following news that the Oscar-winning 1949 tune, originally performed by Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban, has been banned by radio stations over concerns that the lyrics promote date rape.
Joan said the outrage was ridiculous and declared: What’s going to happen to the temptation? Things are getting out of hand, this all happened within two years.
“It’s getting worse, it’s one of the best numbers, how dare they?”

Susanna Reid chimed in: “You’re signed to Piers Morgan’s [school of thought] the world has gone mad!’
Piers also asked Joan to limit the subject of comedians’ jokes for fear of offending people.
Joan stated: ‘I used to see comedians making jokes about other nationalities, now you can’t say anything…
‘Not even about people with frizzy hair…you can only joke about age! I don’t find it welcome at all, but it seems to be the only thing left standing!’
