Joan Collins, who does low cost shopping just like us

But who would have thought? Even a true star of the old guard of Hollywood like Joan Collins knows how to give up hyper-designed garments, to give in – every now and then – to the democratic flattery of a low-cost garment.

She is the same unforgettable protagonist of Dynastywhere she played the glittering and sumptuous role of the wicked Alexis, telling candidly in an interview with Sunday Times to indulge, from time to time, in shopping for a few dollars fast fashion chains. And not just to suffer the easy charm of the Haute Couture dresses of the most prestigious brands that compete to dress the extraordinary ninety-year-old, from Valentino on down.

The latest example of success of your shopping at small prices? A animal print one-piece swimsuit, a fantasy much loved by Collins, so beautiful that it was posted on Instagram and attracted a lot of likes. But also comments – according to the actress – convinced that it was a creation of Dolce&Gabbana.

When in reality it is Joan Collins herself who reveals the origin and value of the costume: the low cost chain Target and alone $28.

But what is surprising, above all, is the discovery of the fact that even a star like her dedicates herself to shopping, and doesn’t just wear the precious gifts that we imagine fashion houses give her. Which are many, she always says, but not as many as one might think: among the dearest homages of the past, Collins recalls, there are some iconic pieces by Gianni Versace, of whom she was a dear friend.

Could this costume costing less than $30 be a further radical step towards simplifying her wardrobe, all sequins and big designer labels? On the other hand, Joan herself has always declared that she hates jeans and never wears them. But do you want to see that she will soon change her mind about those too?
