Fans are delighted to see Sophia looking so well after she suffered a fall a year ago inside her home in Switzerland. 

At the time, she sustained multiple fractures to her hip, and a serious fracture to her femur which resulted in surgery, after she slipped and fell in her bathroom.

Following the incident, Sophia's representative shared a statement on her behalf in which she thanked fans for their concern but said she would recover with rehabilitation and some time off. 

Sophia has been candid about aging and previously confessed she never thought she would live as long as she has.

"When I was 20, I didn't think that one day I would live to 80, but you do. You think, 'My god, all this time went by? I can't believe it,'" she told W Magazine.

As for turning 90, Sophia previously told AARP: The Magazine: "When I look in the mirror, I cheer for myself. I don't ask, 'Are you great?' or 'Are you beautiful?' No! It's how I feel inside, how secure I am, how happy I am. That's what matters."
