MOST WANTED: Leopard sequin Alexis gown

This is one of my top 10 favorite Alexis gowns.  It is just so over the top in every way, which seems befitting for the larger than life character who wore it.  I cant imagine any other character from the show being to pull of this look, but I think it looks very sexy and sophisticated on Alexis. "Alexis goes jungle!" Comprised of a strapless leopard print sequin gown with a matching sheer fur trimmed cape.  Joan wore this on Dynasty as well as in two separate photo shoots, one which took place in her own home.

Interesting trivia: I was told that Joan personally picked out this fabric herself, much to the chagrin of Nolan.  He didn't want to give Joan that much artistic authority over his designs for Alexis, for fear that she would try to take over!

WANTED: If anyone has this gown, or any information on its whereabouts, please let me know!

MOST WANTED: Black beaded with rhinestone trim Alexis gown

This is my very top favorite Alexis gown from Dynasty, and one of my top three favorites from the show.  It has several elements that I really like.  I like the color black, I like the zig-zag beading, and I like the extra pop of the crystal trim around the edges and waist, which gives some added interest.  This design is also more classic and less 80's flamboyant, as many of Joan's gowns on Dynasty were.  Nolan drew inspiration from old Hollywood glamour for many of his designs, and this gown was one of them.

My Collection: Red beaded Alexis gown

This gown was worn by Joan Collins as Alexis Carrington Colby on "Dynasty."

Joan wore this gown in episode 98 of season 5 "That Holiday Spirit", the only Christmas themed show of the series.

Alexis wears this gown when she crashes the Carrington family Christmas party on her way back from marrying Dex in London.

This gown is red fabric with ruby red bugle beads sewn in a zig-zag pattern. The round puff sleeves are red satin, as is the mermaid style bottom of the gown which begins with a length of ruched satin at the hip that diagonally crosses the front of the gown and circles around the hemline.
