English actress Joan Collins assembled a group of celebrities during Wednesday's Prince's Trust and Samsung Celebrate Success Awards to snap a selfie a la Ellen DeGeneres.

The 80-year-old star recruited the likes of Sir Ben Kingsley, Dominic West, Luke Evans, Jeremy Irons, Pixie Lot and others for the pic, which she later posted on Twitter with the caption: "Selfie' support."

According to the Daily Mail, Collins tried to convince Prince Charles to appear in the photo, but he "politely declined and moved on."

Earlier this month, DeGeneres set a new record on Twitter for the most re-tweeted Tweet with over 1 million RTs after posting a star-studded selfie while hosting the 86 Annual Academy Awards on March 2.
