These Sophia Loren Style Quotes Remind Us That No Cry is Truly Ugly & Pasta is Always A Great Idea
Italian screen siren and Hollywood legend Sophia Loren turns 80 today, so we're paying tribute to this fantastic lady's style, brains, beauty, lady balls, and ability to generate an inspirational sound byte. Sophia Loren's beauty and style quotes over the years form a Farmer's Almanac of zen quips. She was a champion of pasta, and considered no "ugly cry" without its beauty.
Her laid-back confidence, sure, has plenty to do with the fact that she's considered to be one of the most beautiful women of all time. However, her philosophy of beauty — based on living voraciously, loving yourself fully, having fun with your appearance, and not allowing beauty standards to influence your self-worth— is something everybody can glean value from. So, without further delay, let's reminisce. Here are some of Sophia Loren's most valuable style and beauty epigrams from over the years. Buon compleanno, Sophia!
