Timeless beauty! Sophia Loren, 81, stars in new Dolce & Gabbana lipstick campaign modeling a shade that the designers made in her honor

Iconic beauty Sophia Loren has received a very gorgeous gift for her 81st birthday: Dolce & Gabbana has given the Italian actress her very own lipstick shade.

The 'bright cherry red' hue, simply named Sophia Loren N°1, was released today, just one day after Sofia turned 81. Touted as Sofia's 'signature', the bold color comes in a gold tube stamped with her actual signature and retails for $37.

'Sophia Loren N°1 is our way of saying, "Thank you, Sophia!"' the designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, said. '"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.'

In the new campaign images, Sophia wears a romantic black lace dress and multicolor collar necklace as she poses with her personalized lipstick and a matching gold Dolce & Gabbana compact.

A 40-second behind-the-scenes video also released by the brand show quite clearly that, with an impressive 64-year-long career under her belt, the Academy Award winner still has no trouble being completely captivating on camera.

The newly-released lipstick is available to purchase in-store at high-end retail locations like Saks Fifth Avenue.
