Joan Collins' Too-Tight Oscars Dress Sends Her to the Hospital

We've all suffered for fashion, but after landing in the hospital Sunday night, Dynasty star Joan Collins has probably learned her lesson.

Page Six is reporting that the 77-year-old maven of the silver screen was taken away in an ambulance after feeling faint at the Vanity Fair Oscars After-Party. Collins explained what happened to the gossip column, blaming her body-hugging, jewel-encrusted lavendar column gown:

The truth was, I made the wrong decision to wear a very tight dress, and had something rather like a Victorian swoon. The good news is, I am in good health and feel fine today.

It just goes to show that the most important thing at these events, as cliche as it may sound, really is feeling comfortable.
