Renowned Oscar-winning actress, Sophia Loren, was seen flaunting a dashing leopard-print blazer during a rare public sighting.

The Hollywood icon, 89, seemed to be in great cheer as she took out time for some photographs with friends after a delightful meal at the celebrity-favourite Cipriani in Beverly Hills, California.

Known for her role in Two Women, Sophia left the eatery arm-in-arm with her acquaintances, leaning on them for support, and using a cane.

Donning an eye-catching black-and-blue animal print blazer matched with a white blouse and dark pants, Sophia looked nothing short of radiant.

Her outfit was accessorised with rather unique see-through yellow glasses, and her auburn hair curled to perfection.

Sophia participated in this social outing appearing in apparent good health and spirit, following her serious fall in September last year.

The incident, which occurred within the confines of her bathroom at her Swiss residence, necessitated prompt hospitalisation and emergency surgery.

The fall led Sophia to suffer numerous "serious fractures" in various parts of her hip, including her femur.

Sophia's representative released a heartfelt statement on her behalf, stating: "I thank everyone for the closeness and affection that they have been showing me. I'm better, I just need to do rehabilitation and to take some time off."

The legendary actress, whose career has spanned over seven decades, is celebrated as one of Hollywood's quintessential sex symbols from its Golden Era.

Throughout her illustrious career, Sophia graced the silver screen in more than 100 films, leaving an indelible mark with her captivating performances in classics such as Grumpier Old Men, The Life Ahead, Matrimonio all'italiana, and Houseboat.

In the 1960s, Sophia Loren made history by winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for her unforgettable role in Two Women.

This victory was monumental as she became the first actor ever to win an Oscar for a performance in a foreign language, setting a precedent for international actors in Hollywood.
