EMILY PRESCOTT: Joan Collins, 90, poses outside Le Club 55 as she reveals the secret to always providing a table
It is one of St. Tropez’s most exclusive restaurants and recommends making reservations two months in advance unless you are Joan Collins. In a video message to her Instagram followers, 90-year-old Joan poses in front of Le Club 55 and reveals how she can make sure a table is always hers.
Joan — seen below on Le Club with husband Percy, 58, and artist Tracey Emin — jokes that her star power gives her an “in,” adding that she’s “so hot, so hot.” She is then embarrassed after accepting a fan – with the words “f*** off” – from a friendly passerby who overhears her. Joan then exclaims, “Oh God, how dare you!”

Piers left out in the cold
While Jeremy Corbyn got the VIP treatment last week at a talk by climate activist Greta Thunberg at London’s Royal Festival Hall, the same can’t be said for his brother, who is a conspiracy theorist. Piers Corbyn, 76, was left outside in the rain leading a one-man protest and I’m afraid no one could hear his message anyway – his megaphone was broken! Meanwhile, 74-year-old Jeremy hasn’t exactly polished his credentials as a ‘man of the people’ – he was ushered out of a VIP exit afterwards to avoid queuing with the public.
Alice rides high again at the races
Alice Temperley attends the Temperley London Trunk Show on July 11
And on the outside comes Alice Temperley! The fashionista, loved by A-listers like the Princess of Wales and Madonna, designed the jockey side for the Magnolia Cup charity race at Glorious Goodwood on Friday.
For the all-female race, Alice, left, reached into her archive to select outfits for the riders – winner Annabelle Hadden-Wight wore an eye-catching zebra-print number.
Hopefully, this chance to showcase her talent can revive Alice’s fortunes, as one of her company’s finances left £388,000 in debt last year.
