Joan Collins Celebrates 'Magical' Castle Wedding of Son Sacha Newley

Dame Joan Collins was overjoyed as she watched her only son, the artist Alexander ‘Sacha’ Newley, tie the knot with jazz singer Sheela Raman in a gorgeous ceremony at a lakeside castle

Joan Collins' Son Ties the Knot in a Fairytale Wedding in Austria!

The glamour of Hollywood's golden age lives on, and Joan Collins is still shining bright at 92! The Dynasty star was over the moon as she watched her only son, Sacha Newley, exchange vows with his new bride, jazz singer Sheela Raman, in a picturesque lakeside castle in Salzburg, Austria. And we've got all the juicy details!

The wedding was a long time coming - five years, to be exact! The couple got engaged in 2019 but had to postpone their original plans due to those pesky COVID restrictions. But Sacha and Sheela were determined to make their dream day happen, and it finally did in style.

The Dynasty star, 92, looked elegant in a pale blue ensemble as she walked arm-in-arm with her son Sacha

As the guest of honor, Joan Collins looked absolutely stunning in a light blue dress and matching hat, exuding elegance and sophistication as she mingled with the A-list crowd. And we can't blame her for being beaming with pride - after all, Sacha is not only an accomplished artist but also a loving father to two beautiful daughters!

Speaking of which, Sacha's marriage to Sheela marks his second union. His first wife was Angela Tassoni, a US jewelry designer, with whom he shares 20-year-old daughter Ava Grace. But now, he and Sheela are building a life together in music, love, and laughter - with their adorable two-year-old daughter Deia Shanaya as the icing on the cake!

Sheela, an American-born musician, stunned in a vintage-inspired lace gown, which she flaunted on Instagram alongside photos from the big day. "What a gift to stand side-by-side, surrounded by our beloved friends and family, as we step into this new chapter together," she gushed.

The wedding was a long time coming. The couple got engaged in 2019 but their original plans for a South of France ceremony were dramatically called off the following year due to Covid restrictions

And it's clear that this union is all about love - with music being the perfect accompaniment! Sheela treated their guests to an unforgettable performance of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good," while Sacha serenaded his bride with a soulful ballad. Talk about romance!

Joan Collins, the grande dame of Hollywood, couldn't be happier for her son and new daughter-in-law. And we're guessing she's thrilled to become a grandma... again! "It's really lovely to become a grandma again," she said, smiling brightly. "It's all these grandchildren that keeps me so young!"

Joan's own journey to lasting love has been the stuff of legend - or rather, a colorful and eventful one! From her first marriage to Maxwell Reed in 1952 to her fifth union with Percy Gibson (a whopping 32 years her junior!), it seems she's finally found her soulmate. "Percy is a wonderful, kind, truly good man," she gushed. "He's the love of my life."
