Inside Dame Joan Collins's feud with Harry Styles after alleged Met Gala incident

Dame Joan Collins previously called out Harry Styles for an alleged incident that took place at the Met Gala in 2019.

The 90-year-old shared her account of the incident in her memoir Behind The Shoulder Pads: Tales I Tell My Friends.

In her book, she explained: "The sophisticated crowd went mad for Cher, standing up, whooping and cheering."

"Bette Midler, wearing a top hat and tailcoat in glittery black sequins, came to our table and boogied with Julianne Moore. And I glimpsed Gwyneth Paltrow and Katie Holmes doing the same."

"Cher left after her first number then came back wearing her original Bob Mackie sleek black embroidered bodysuit and a massive black curly wig to sing Believe."

However, when Cher returned to the stage, Joan says she became irritated by Harry.

The Dynasty legend continued: "Harry Styles jumped on the table in front of us [those sitting at her table], obscuring our view, and took no notice of our entreaties to 'get down, we can't see'."

Despite her annoyance, Joan still had a great time and says she would return to the Met Gala "in a heartbeat".

She joked: "I loved my first Met Ball, and I would certainly go again in a heartbeat, although at $30,000 (£24,700) a seat, I'll wait to be invited!"

Harry Styles' representatives declined to comment when approached by Express.co.uk.

Joan is regarded to be one of the last surviving stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema thanks to her incredible work as an actress. She is best known for playing the role of Alexis Carrington Colby in the hit soap opera Dynasty.

The mum-of-three has starred in a number of movies including Land of the Pharaohs, The Bravados and Esther and The King, amongst many more. She has also been the recipient of several accolades, including a Golden Globe Award, a People's Choice Award and two Soap Opera Digest Awards.

Joan has also written eight memoirs, as well as six non-fiction books and six fiction books.
