Sophia Loren will be celebrating her 90th birthday in September and she looked incredible as she stepped out during a rare public appearance.
The Oscar-winning actress, 89, was spotted walking with the assistance of a cane after dining at celebrity hotspot Cipriani in Beverly Hills.
Sophia looked radiant with her auburn hair perfectly styled in bouncy curls as she smiled at onlookers when exiting the restaurant with friends.
For the occasion, Sophia slipped on a blue leopard print blazer over a simple white top with black pants and matching black flat shoes. She added a pair of yellow-tinted glasses and rocked dark nude lips with a hint of blush to warm her complexion.

Sophia 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.
The news was initially broken by the restaurant that Sophia was set to open on September 26 in the Italian city of Bari.
"A fall at her home in Geneva today caused Ms Loren hip fractures," a brief statement read on social media. "Operated with a positive outcome, she will now have to observe a short period of recovery and follow a road to rehabilitation.

Sophia's two sons, Carlo Ponti Jr., 55, and Edoardo Ponti, 51, were by their mother's side at the hospital in Switzerland.
Following the incident, Sophia's representative shared a statement on her behalf.

Ahead of her milestone birthday, Sophia has been candid about aging and previously admitted that she never thought she would live as long a life as she has.

As for how she feels about 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."
