Dame Joan Collins oozes sophistication as she pops to M&S for a Saturday grocery shop in a cream flat cap and Burberry scarf

Dame Joan Collins oozed sophistication as she headed to M&S for a grocery shop on Saturday, wearing a cream flat cap and a Burberry scarf.

The legendary actress, 90, took to Instagram this weekend to share that she had gone to the British supermarket for some delicious treats.

She looked as chic as ever while out shopping as she teamed the flat cap with a matching cream coat as she giggled alongside a female cashier at the checkout.

Joan also wore large brown sunglasses while in the store and wore bright red lipstick as she grabbed chicken, salad and a bouquet of roses.

“So here we are on a Saturday afternoon running errands for the weekend,” she said.

“We’ll get salads, we’ll get chicken, and we might even get these roses, they look good. And it’s not too busy, not too public. Have a nice Saturday.’

Joan captioned the post: ‘Saturday is always a great day for shopping #M&S #Happysaturday #groceryshopping #M&Sfood.’

It comes after Joan told how she was starved on the set of Dynasty because show bosses ‘refused to let the cast eat’.

She played the role of Alexis Carrington Colby in the US soap for eight years until 1989, telling how the crew feasted on ‘sandwiches and treats’ while the stars ‘looked like stick insects’.

On Monday’s show, she joined the Loose Women panellist to discuss her lengthy showbiz career and the role that started it.

Joan began, “We weren’t allowed to eat anything between meals. They had all these sandwiches and treats that the whole crew would eat, they put them on two stones. But they told us ‘no no no, carrot stick!’

“If you looked at all of us, we looked like stick insects.”

Joan, who wore a jacket from her time on the series, added: “This jacket was the only one I kept from the show because it looks very classic at YSL.”

In November last year she revealed the highly unlikely inspiration for her iconic Dynasty character Alexis, during a ‘flirty’ interview with Louis Theroux.

Speaking about the show, which told the story of a fictional American dynasty, Joan revealed that one of the biggest fans at the time was none other than former President Donald Trump, now 78, who influenced her portrayal.

“I said when I was asked about my character Alexis, who I was thinking about during preparation, I said ‘well a mix of Donald Trump’, who wasn’t president at the time, he was just a businessman,”

“And a friend of mine, a very glamorous woman from the city, who was very smart, so I wanted to have a mix of it.”

Louis then asked what specific qualities of Trump she incorporated into the character, with the actress pointing out his “ruthlessness.”

But Dame Joan refused to be drawn into a discussion about politics, saying: ‘I try not to get involved in politics. I’m an actress, so I don’t think we should express our political opinions.”

Just to joke, “Let’s just say if you played him in a movie, people would say, ‘No, that’s too exaggerated.’

Elsewhere in the episode, Joan candidly discussed her own experiences as a young actress in Hollywood.

Despite being best known for ’80s soap operas, she also appeared in films in the ’50s and ’60s alongside Hollywood superstars Jayne Mansfield and Paul Newman.

And revealed she was told ‘not to be glamorous to get parts’.

Louis asked her, “Don’t you feel appreciated at all?”

Joan responded, “I’m not saying I’m not appreciated. I think I’ve become more, but there’s this sort of grudging, ‘Yes, she’s great, but she can’t act, she can just play these roles,’ and early reviews only talked about what I looked like.

“The way I swayed my hips or the way I gave googly eyes to the lead, they were always half hateful.”

Louise asked, ‘Do you care?’, Joan replied bluntly, ‘No. You bring it up, I don’t care.’
