Few are the 81-year-old women who can still boast a modeling endorsement, but then again, their name is not Sophia Loren. The silver screen icon celebrated her 81st birthday just 2 days ago, and one of the birthday gifts she received included her very own lipstick from Dolce&Gabbana.

The big reveal was made one day after the birthday, and came, as was to be expected, with the release of the first print ads and a behind-the-scenes video. Hopefully, this means we’ll be getting a commercial soon, as well.

“More than just a lipstick”

According to the Italian fashion house, Sophia Loren N°1 is “more than just a lipstick.” It’s a tribute to one of the most beautiful and iconic women in the world, and at the same time, a collection piece.

It comes in a bright cherry red color, which was created by Sophia and designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, and it’s semi-sheer, ultra-light, lightly scented and very creamy, enhancing the natural pigmentation of the lips.

In addition to getting a quality product, buyers will also get a collection piece, as the lipstick is engraved in black with Sophia’s signature.

“Sophia Loren N°1 is our way of saying, ‘Thank you, Sophia!’,” the fashion house says. “‘Thank you for [your] beauty, thank you for being a world favorite, thank you for being an icon of the big screen and of Italian beauty.’ She has been a constant source of inspiration for us and today we celebrate her with the gift of her very own lipstick.”

The most naturally beautiful woman in the world

Sophia Loren is said to be the most naturally beautiful woman in the world, a distinction she still holds on to at 81. She is the only one for whom the Archbishop of Genoa said would approve of human cloning, because this way, we’d get to enjoy her beauty more.

Mrs. Loren often spoke of her status as a beauty icon and even revealed that she was no stranger to pressure from the film industry to get plastic surgery.

She once boasted of having found the Fountain of Youth and she happily shared her secret with the world: the secret to not growing old, she said, was learning to tap into “your mind, your talents, your creativity” to bring joy into the life of your loved ones.
