Italian fashion house Valentino teams up with the legendary actress Dame Joan Collins for this year’s Holiday 2019 campaign directed by Barbara Anastacio.

The “Dynasty” actress does exactly that — donning a lacy red off-the-shoulder gown and evening gloves for the clip, accessorized with a dazzling tiara.

The Valentino ‘Joan for the Holidays’ film starts with the Hollywood legend ringing the doorbell of a London flat, laden with gifts, to liven up a subdued dinner party with dancing and witty one-liners. The video ends with Dame Joan, half hiding behind a fan, declaring irreverently: “You know I enjoy my own company as much as you do.”

The move is a natural one, given the close relationship that Valentino’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli and Dame Joan have developed over the years: the star even opted for a gown by the designer for a statement red carpet moment at this year’s MET Gala.

Dame Joan Collins doesn’t do subtle, and the holidays are no exception.
