If singer Katherine Jenkins needs any pointers on how to maintain her poise in front of the cameras, she could do worse than ask an old pro like Joan Collins.

The 28-year-old Welsh singing sensation posed with the acting legend, 75, at the Montblanc Young Singers Project launch in Salzburg, Austria.

And for once she wasn't having wardrobe issues, as her gorgeous cream embroidered strapless gown stayed firmly in place.

But Joan wasn't letting Katherine have it all her own way, as she revealed her ample charms in a black figure-hugging dress and organza tie-front shirt.

With her typically immaculate make-up and chestnut brown hair, she looked 20 years younger than her age of 75. 

Katherine hobnobbed with Percy and Joan at an event to promote jewellery and perfume brand Montblanc worldwide.

She said: 'It's so strange. Montblanc is such a massive brand globally.

'Sometimes I'll get off a plane and feel jet-lagged and sit in the back of a taxi and drive through the streets of a foreign city and see an enormous poster with this girl on it. And then I realise it's me!'

Katherine, 28, who now lives in north London, has been an 'ambassador' for Montblanc International’s arts and culture charities for two years.

She wore £6m worth of Montblanc diamonds to the 50th Annual Grammy Awards earlier this year, watched carefully by their security staff.

A spokeswoman for the company said Katherine is 'a modern icon of arts and culture, her combination of grace, talent and good looks make Katherine the perfect ambassador for Femme de Montblanc.'

Meanwhile when Katherine performed at Kenwood House last weekend, it wasn't just her powerful voice that wowed the crowd.

The Welsh singer looked stunning in a selection of low cut dresses which revealed her curvy figure.

Although she threatened to spill out of one.

The patriotic 28-year-old also made sure her outfit was complete by draping herself in her home country's flag for one of her classical performances, which was accompanied by the London Philharmonia Orchestra.

Katherine is dating Blue Peter presenter and Strictly Come Dancing star Gethin Jones who is also from Wales.
