Sofía Vergara is widely known for her undeniable, witty talent as a successful actor in Hollywood, from landing her first role in a Pepsi commercial at the tender age of 17 to amassing worldwide fame in the hit ABC series “Modern Family.” While she has many awards to back up her impressive career (including multiple SAGs and NAACP Image wins), her style is no matter to gloss over. Vergara enjoyed quite the modeling career in the ’90s, often sharing memories on her Instagram that showcase her love for various bathing suit styles, from high-cut swimsuits and thongkinis to topless looks, replete with nothing but a pair of bottoms. From posing nearly nude on the cover of Shape magazine to her cleavage-baring Zuhair Murad wedding gown, Vergara is the queen of sultry style.
While modern trends like corsets and low-rise denim often defined her early days, the “America’s Got Talent” judge now embraces even more figure-flattering silhouettes — especially dresses with sweetheart necklines and embellished detailing. In 2016, she memorably channeled Valentino Barbiecore in a sleeveless, hot-pink gown with a high slit and a satin clutch to match for the SAG Awards, and she turned heads in a dazzling, custom yellow sequined dress by Laura Basci for the 2022 Emmy Awards.
Most recently, Vergara’s remained true to her affinity for revealing silhouettes. Amid her divorce from Joe Manganiello, the 51-year-old Colombian American actor flaunted a leopard-print swimsuit with a cheeky backside during her birthday celebration in Italy. She also sported a tiny black two-piece while lounging by the pool last month and a lacy white maillot by OYE Swimwear. She recently traded swimsuits for evening wear in a blue-and-white floral dress and a white Chanel bag, as she enjoyed a night out in the Ravello region with friends.
