The actor flashed a sly smile as he looked ever so hunky in a checked purple, grey and brown blazer while hanging out with pals Richie Palmer and Giuseppe Franco.
Stallone wore the patterned jacket over a grey shirt, powder blue trousers and red leather dress shoes.
He had his hair elegantly combed to the side as he accessorised with designer shades and a silver watch.

In a recent interview the action man talked about tapping into the painful death of his son, Sage, for his role in Creed.
'Every time you can vent emotions that are real, I think that’s very helpful,' Sly told Closer.
'Most importantly, I want to respect his memory. I think we did, so it was good.'
When he was approached about making the film by director Ryan Coogler, the talented actor definitely had his own reservations as he explained: 'It took a while.

'I really didn’t want to do it — I swear to you. It’s just too painful. It’s rough. There is no closure. There is nothing.
'The wonderful thing about acting is that it’s a release. I can take some solace in that.'
On July 13, 2012, Sage suffered a heart attack caused by heart disease. He was just 36 at the time of his passing.

He has previously talked about the tough subject as shortly after accepting the Golden Globes earlier this month, he talked to People about his son's impact on his career as he said: 'Wow, that's a very heavy question.
'Any time you can do things that are real, I think it's very, very helpful. And with my son, I want to respect his memory, and I think we did so.'
The late actor joined his father as his son Rocky Balboa Jr in Rocky V, released in 1990, in addition to 1996 film Daylight.
In the movie Creed, he appeared on a still image and his character was said to have moved to Vancouver.
