Icon Sophia Loren recently turned 90 years old on Sept. 20. Just a year after she fell at her home in Geneva, Switzerland, and had to recover from several fractures, she appears to be doing quite well on this momentous occasion. Her friend, fashion designer Giorgio Armani, who is also 90 years old, gave fans an inside look at her birthday celebrations.

He shared a video of Loren from her birthday dinner, looking happy but shy as friends sang “Happy Birthday” to her. She wore a beautiful silver outfit from the Giorgio Armani Privé collection, along with a diamond necklace and earrings.
