Joan Collins looked stunning as she arrived at The Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena yesterday

The actress showed off her enviably slim figure in eye-catching monochrome as she arrived at The Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, California.
Joan who was attending the NBCUniversal 2015 TCA Press Tour, looked stunning in the knee-length number.
Her long -sleeved dress came complete with flattering peplum, and was teamed with classic nude peep-toe heels.
With her brunette tresses styled into a voluminous 'do, the former Dynasty stunner couldn't resist a pair of statement earrings to polish off her ensemble.

Joan, who plays the Grand Duchess Of Oxford in the new E! drama, also added a slick of bright red lipstick and smoky eye-make-up.
Her show, which follows a fictional British royal family in modern-day London, is set to air on March 15.
Liz, who portrays Queen Helena, previously said of her role: "She has a lot of power and I think she knows how to use it."
Meanwhile Joan has recently spoken out about agesim in the film industry..

She said: "Every actress over the age of 35 experiences ageism. I was cast in a TV role once when I was 39. My agent told them I was 32 because I looked it.
"I got the role but at the end the producer said: 'My God, you are 39. Had we known that we would never have cast you.'"
Yet her male stars including Bing Crosby who was Joan's leading man in The Road To Hong Kong when she was 30 years his junior suffered no such prejudice. "It was another taste of ageism in Hollywood," Joan claimed
