Joan’s outing comes after she recently attended the Armani and A Rabbit’s Foot’s Power of Film dinner at the posh The Dragon Room at Isabel Mayfair in London on Tuesday.
She was joined by her loving husband Percy Gibson, 58, as they dined with a host of stars.
Joan cut a graceful figure in a black tweed suit that featured satin bows and was adorned with a diamond brooch.
The evening celebrated a year of filmmaking and was also attended by movie star Andrew Scott, 46, as well as actress and Giorgio Armani’s niece, Rorberta Armani.
Percy, the longest-lived of Joan’s husbands, is more than 30 years her junior, a gap she dismisses in interviews with the line, “If he dies, he dies.”
The longtime couple celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a star-studded bash at Claridge’s last year.
Originally from Peru, Percy is a prominent Hollywood producer, known primarily for producing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
He is the last man standing in a long line of Collins lovers, all of whom have been well documented over the years.

Joan’s first husband, Maxwell Reed, was an Irish actor for whom she walked down the aisle in 1956.
The couple divorced that same year, and Joan moved to Warren Beatty.
The two got engaged in 1960, but their alleged affairs drove them apart.
A 1963 marriage to actor and singer Anthony Newley produced two children and a divorce.
She then married former Beatles manager Ron Kass in 1972, who fathered her daughter Katie.
Her fourth marriage was to singer Peter Holm, which lasted three years and resulted in a falling out with her sister Jackie, whom she disliked.
Now, however, Joan has found the right man and even joked with Jonathan Ross in 2020 that her marriage to Percy had lasted as long as all four of her previous marriages combined.
