As a wise old lady once said: A woman’s outfit should be like a barbed-wire fence – serving its purpose without obstructing the view.

That lady was Sophia Loren. And judging by her daring outfit, it appears she is still using it as her dress code.

At 75, it seems Miss Loren has decided a woman of a certain age has no need to be demure.

So fab: Sophia Loren shows a lot of leg in a thigh-high skirt

Daring: Sophia Loren looked far younger than her 75 years at a photocall for her new TV series in Rome yesterday.

The actress arrived at the launch of a TV series in Rome yesterday showing off an impressive cleavage and thigh-high skirt.

She stars in La Mia Casa e Piena di Specchi (My House Is Full of Mirrors), a series based on the book about her life by her sister Maria Scicolone.

In it, she plays her mother, Romilda Villani, while stunning actress Margareth Made plays the young Sophia.
