Pink Beaded Joan Collins “Dynasty” Gown

This gown designed by Nolan Miller was worn by Joan Collins as Alexis Carrington Colby in two episodes of “Dynasty,” to the 1985 Peoples Choice Awards where Joan won “Favorite Actress” and “Dynasty” won “Favorite TV Show,” for various photo shoots including Joan’s video collection, and can be seen on the cover of the season 7 “Dynasty” DVD.

Joan wore this design in episode 28 of season 5 “The Heiress" and in episode 8 of season 7 “The Choice.”

The gown was altered for its second appearance on “Dynasty.” The taffeta shoulder wrap sleeve was transformed into two large bow-like sleeves on either shoulder. A crystal embellishment was removed from the waist where the beading and crystal pattern begins, and more crystal embellishments were added in between the "bow" sleeves and also to the back of the gown.
