Dame Joan Collins apparently spoke about Met Gala meeting with Harry Styles in 2019 in her new memoir Behind The Shoulder Pads: Tales I Tell My Friends.

In her memoir, the Hollywood actress, narrates the incident. 

The event open as the singer (Harry Styles), eagerly danced and sang along to Cher, who was 77 years old, during her on-stage performance at the fashion event.

She remembered that this event marked her early attendance at the grand soirée, and Harry Styles, in her perception, kept blocking her view while Cher was performing.

According to the icon, the clash happened as the singer, kept dancing and singing along to Cher, 77, who performed on stage at the fashion event.

In her book, she wrote: 'Harry Styles jumped on the table in front of us [those sitting on her table], obscuring our view, and took no notice of our entreaties to "get down, we can’t see".'

'The sophisticated crowd went mad for her [Cher], standing up whooping and cheering.

'Bette Midler, wearing a top hat and tailcoat in glittery black sequins, came to our table and boogied with Julianne Moore.

'And I glimpsed Gwyneth Paltrow and Katie Holmes doing the same.

'Cher left after her first number then came back wearing her original Bob Mackie sleek black embroidered bodysuit and a massive black curly wig to sing Believe.'

Despite the awkward encounter between the two icons, Joan said she would 'go back to the Met in a heartbeat'.

She said: 'I loved my first Met Ball, and I would certainly go again in a heartbeat, although at $30,000 [£24,700] a seat, I’ll wait to be invited!'
