The actress is still the standard of female beauty. At the age of 72, she was awarded the title of “most beautiful woman in the world.”
Sophia Loren is the author of the book “Women and Beauty”, released in 2001, which reveals the secrets of the youth of a charming woman. The publication also reveals the worldview, experience and wisdom that allow the actress to correctly perceive age.
Simplicity is the best decoration
Sophia Loren experienced poverty. From birth, she grew up in poverty and did not have even the most minimal benefits. She sculpted dolls from bread crumbs, one bed was shared by three, early bedtime to pass the time faster and feel less hunger – it was in these realities that the actress spent her childhood. And oddly enough, Sophia Loren was never shy about it and openly talks about that life.
In her book, the actress points out that it was this period of time that gave her invaluable experience and taught her to sense fashion and cultivate a refined taste.
The right gait will make any woman a queen
Sophia Loren is sure that grace makes a woman elegant and attractive, regardless of the cost of the outfit. She understood this from the vivid example of her mother. Romilda Villani had amazing beauty and an elegant gait. According to the actress, “even in a worn dress she looked like a queen.”
The actress adopted this feature from childhood and already at the age of 14 she received her first title of beauty queen. And Sophia Loren honed the famous gait from the film “Marriage Italian Style” thanks to her husband, Carlo Ponti, who forced the actress to walk between the cabinets with open drawers and push them with her hip, until she did this without creating extraneous sounds.
Calmness is true beauty
No matter how many sad events you have had in your life. A woman should always be smiling. Restraint and the ability to perceive life with all its ups and downs is the main secret of beauty and youth.
Even when robbers broke into Sophia Loren’s house or property was damaged in a fire, when her elderly mother spent all her money on young people, and her husband suffered from advanced dementia, the actress always smiled.
Laziness is the main enemy of every woman.
Only by overcoming laziness can you achieve results. Sophia Loren twice took part in fairly revealing photo shoots, and despite her age, she can boast of a beautiful figure. The actress’s phrases about laziness spread all over the world and have already become aphorisms. The most popular saying was “It’s hard to be irresistible if you’re lazy.”
Self-discipline is extremely effective, it’s hard to start, and then everything goes automatically. Moreover, this rule works in any area – daily routine, sleep or diet, physical activity. The actress does not deny that it is extremely difficult to refuse a delicious dish, given how often you happen to be at social events where a variety of dishes are served. However, if you are not hungry, no dish or even dessert will be a temptation.
The mind is the natural source of youth
It is self-improvement that allows you to maintain youth. The body shell is not interesting without the spiritual attractiveness of a person. Sophia Loren is not ashamed of her age, and recommends not to waste precious time trying to change nature. Only by accepting your strengths and weaknesses can you overcome age.
There is no need to be sad about the past years. Devote your free time to your favorite activity or interesting person. Then there will simply be no time left for sad thoughts.
The magnificent actress is sure that the source of youth is intelligence, talent and creativity. And only by fully drinking these sources can you defeat age and maintain attractiveness.
