Every year, we look to the past to inform our Christmas tree decor, and this year, it's back to the turn of the millennium, courtesy of Sophia Loren. Despite the Italian actress being most synonymous with the 1960s, her most inspiring Christmas tree is more recent, dating back to the year 2000.
At the time, Sophia displayed her tree for auction at the 'Merv Griffins 7th Annual Christmas Tree Lane Lighting Ceremony,' but its gold, vintage-style design remains just as beautiful in 2025. Featuring porcelain angel figures (like this one from Target), her tree has a nostalgic aesthetic that makes it feel older than it really is. However, in this case, dated certainly isn't a negative.
