For the dazzling occasion, Dynasty star Joan wowed in a bridal-white split-leg dress complete with ruched detailing around the waist and glittering silver embellishments. The 91-year-old accessorised with a fluffy white jacket, statement drop earrings and an oversized silver ring.

Percy, meanwhile, looked dapper dressed in a smart tuxedo, glossy dress shoes and a black bow tie.
Following the star-studded event, which was attended by the likes of Elizabeth Hurley and her son Damian, Joan shared a carousel of glamorous photos to Instagram.
Her post prompted a flurry of sweet messages in the comments section, with one writing: “How fabulous you look Joan… iconic,” while a second added: “Joan looking fantastic, as always!” and a third chimed in: “Gorgeous! Beautiful photographs of you all!”

Their big day was a star-studded affair in London, with the likes of Dame Shirley Bassey, Roger Moore and Rupert Everett among wedding guests.

While the couple have a 32-year age gap, Joan insists that age is just a number. “I believe in marriage — which is why I’ve done it five times — and I finally have a wonderful marriage,” she told Louis Theroux in a BBC documentary. “Percy is 30-odd years younger than me, but I don’t even feel my age. I don’t even talk about it; I don’t even think about it.”
The couple live together in Belgravia, London, where Joan owns a lavish apartment. They also own a holiday home in Provence, France, where they retreat during the summer months. “We try to visit my place every summer. It’s incredibly relaxing. There’s no traffic, it’s right in the middle of the hills of Provence and has a fantastic view,” she told Ideal Home in 2023.
