I sure hope I look like this if I make it to 78!  Sophia Loren hit the red carpet in Rio de Janeiro this week for the launch of the Pirelli calendar, and damn did she look amazing.  The 78 year old  is winning raves for her style, grace, and looks in her later years.  While not included in the 2013 calendar, Loren was featured in the 2007 calendar, at 72 years of age.  Va va voom!

She spent the majority of her showbiz career as an international sex symbol, and on Tuesday night, 78-year-old Sophia Loren proved that age is truly just a number when she showed off her trim figure in a low-cut curve-hugging dress. The Italian actress donned the white beaded gown with sheer long sleeves and a slit up the front when she hit the red carpet in Rio de Janeiro for the launch of the Italian tire maker Pirelli's annual calendar.  Read more about the event here.
