Look for her in bright, bold shades, formfitting silhouettes, flowing hair and major jewels (often emeralds) that could stop traffic. And she loves to celebrate the style that's so uniquely hers, whether that's disavowing all updos (they make you look old), embracing her sex appeal and making sure she's picking dresses that celebrate her curves, no matter how much effort it takes. Look back at our 10 favorite looks of hers so far.

She stepped out to promote the show in May 2005 wearing what would become some of her style signatures: a bold, bright color, curve-hugging cut and mega earrings. 02 of 10 Sofía Vergara at the 2010 SAG Awards WireImage For Modern Family's first appearance at the SAG Awards (where they'd win for outstanding performance for ensemble in a comedy), Sofía Vergara opted for a spicy orange-and-scarlet color combination with an off-the-shoulder neckline and sparkling beading by Carolina Herrera. 03 of 10 Sofía Vergara at the 2013 Emmys Jeff Vespa/WireImage Nominated for an Emmy for the fourth year in a row, Vergara looked like a winner in her red lace Vera Wang gown with a flared hem and exposed corsetry, plus those knockout emerald jewels (more than $7 million of Lorraine Schwartz bling in total). 04 of 10 Sofía Vergara at a 2010 'Twilight' Screening Andrew H. Walker/Getty The bandage dress was the style of 2010, but Vergara made it all her own with the just-right fit, contrasting neon nails and her heels of choice: a peep-toe platform. 05 of 10 Sofía Vergara at the 2012 Emmys Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic Though there was major dress drama heading to the Emmys red carpet (her Zuhair Murad dress split at the seams en route to the event), you'd never know it from how poised and polished she looks in the mermaid-y teal beaded number. 06 of 10 Sofía Vergara at the 2010 Golden Globes Steve Granitz/WireImage The star knew how to make an entrance — and an exit — on a red carpet. Case in point? This dramatic steel blue Carolina Herrera gown with contrasting maroon bow atop the cascading ruffled train. 07 of 10 Sofía Vergara at the 2024 Premiere of 'Griselda' Mireya Acierto/WireImage Dazzling, dangling earrings and architectural cuffs complemented the pleated strapless Laura Basci gown Vegara selected for the premiere of her Netflix limited series, in which she plays drug cartel mastermind Griselda Blanco. 08 of 10 Sofía Vergara at the 2013 CFDA Awards Kevin Mazur/WireImage Any idea what Sofía Vergara's favorite stone is? If you didn't know before, this photo might be a dead giveaway. She matched her fitted V-neck ruched Herve L Leroux gown to her whiplash-inducing necklace and earrings for the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards. 09 of 10 Sofía Vergara at the 2014 White House Correspondents' Dinner Andrew H. Walker/Getty Vergara went for an elegantly understated look at the WHCD, donning a Romona Keveza gown with textured gold asymmetrical bodice, iridescent ivory skirt and gold choker. 10 of 10 Sofía Vergara at the 2011 Emmys Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic The coral Vera Wang gown the actress wore to the 2011 Emmys was classic Vergara: A striking silhouette, bright hue and eye-popping emeralds (from Lorraine Schwartz). Also classic Vergara: A sense of humor when it comes to questions about her body. When a reporter ventured to ask what she was wearing underneath the gown, she joked, “I’m wearing my underwear from my Kmart line!” Close
