Sofia Vergara in teal Zuhair Murad at the Emmys: gorgeous or unflattering?

It’s hard not to love Sofia Vergara. She just seems like she’s such a good time, in every way, shape or form. While this Zuhair Murad dress would have been a cut-out disaster on most women, Sofia ended up rocking it and forcing me to love it. What I dislike: the cutouts, the seemingly weird design choice to “force” her boobs apart, and the way the gown was cut through the butt. What I loved: the color (gorgeous teal), how Sofia’s body looked in the dress, and how you could tell that she felt comfortable in it. I know some of you find her annoying, but I love her. I was kind of sad for her that she brought 19 family members to the Emmys only to watch Julie Bowen win, but I do think Julie and Sofia genuinely enjoy each other, and they’re tight in real life. Julie even went to Mexico for Sofia’s 40th birthday party, you know? They’re tight.

Here’s Padma Lakshmi in orange Monique Lhuillier. Yeah… the design is pretty enough, although I think it’s all pretty “basic” (as in “Lhuillier basically dyed one of her basic wedding gowns and gave it to Padma”). The orange is AWFUL. I have similar coloring to Padma and I would never wear this color, I would never even attempt it or think, “Hey, maybe that will work.” She’s a beautiful woman and she looks like a traffic cone. MOVE THAT PADMA LAKSHMI, I’M LINDSAY LOHAN!!!

    Sofia looks good….but she always chooses the same silhouette. And her hair always look the same. She never changes up her look. And the teal sequins kind of look like a mermaid.

    Padma looks fantastic though.

    Gorgeous!!! Dress is a little over-the-top but screw it: I love everything.

    The colour, the cut, the way her butt looks. When she was being interviewed by Ryan Seacrest I was waiting for her to turn around so I could see her perfect backside. She has lower back dimples for crying out loud!

    Girl-crushing really hard right now. Love her.

      Well said Eve! Love Sofia, she rocked the shit out of this. For once the girls weren’t popping out everywhere. I would like to see something different with her hair but overall perfection. Covergirl should let her style herself for commercials, she chooses better.

    Kaiser, you are so right about it being hard not to like Sofia. I’ve never even seen the show, only know her from interviews and such. She is always so bubbly which always seems contagious. That said, I like the dress from the waist down. And I actually love the cutouts on the back of the dress, it’s just so Sofia. From the waist up, not so much. However, as many people seem to mention, designers design dresers for skinny model types with little to no curves. Then when a real woman like Sofia puts on the same dress, it doesn’t fit right in the chest region.

    The top kinda reminds me of an ice skater’s outfit, but Sophia always looks nearly flawless. I love her! I like the other because I love orange.

    Sofia knows what works on her body. I don’t like the dress per say, but she looked hot for sure. Padma looked really great and that color was stunning on her.

    I kind of liked Sophia, but with the pepsi and k-mart commercials, I now feel like she is super over-exposed. Does she really need her own line of k-mart bedding? What a kardASSian move. I have a feeling she’d sign her name to anything.

    I don’t think I ever had such good skin, not even when I was 20. On the other hand I’m the freckly blonde type.

  13. Sofia was best dressed last night, hands down. She simply looks divine.

    Padma looks good too.

    LOL Sofia busted out of the dress later on. Very funny she seems to have a such great sense of humour and I love her accent. Padma looks amazing I love that colour on her although dress is pretty safe.

    Im not a fan of Sofia’s style, I hardly ever like anything she wears. She’s a gorgeous woman though and I love her figure!
    As for Padma, I think she looks AMAZING! I’m darker than her and I really like bright colors for myself… hubby loves seeing me in oranges and yellows :-)

    I am so tired of Sofia. She’s every where you turn and that accent is so annoyingly overdone. Give it a break already!

    When I caught my first glance of the dress last night it was in a photo that was posted under a worst dressed list. I thought it was hideous, but the longer I look at it and realize how perfectly it hugs her body, I’m thinking it’s a work of art.

    Of course she looks good in it, she looks good in everything–but it’s still tacky as hell in a lovely colour.

    Padma’s dress is very similar to a salmon-coloured halter Sofia wore once–with big emerald earrings, if I remember. People liked that, so why don’t they like this?

    Padma was THE best dressed. That color just looked so stunning with her skin tone. She kept the jewelry simple, her hair natural, I like that!. Sofia was meh… Too “telenovela” to me. She looked rather tacky.

    I also think Padma’s poses were really graceful, much better than Heidi Klum’s *snickers…

    I love the color and detailing of Sofia’s but agree about the cut outs.
    I saw different photos of Padma, and the color looked gorgeous on her. Based on this photos not so much, but other photos, it was lovely.

    I haven’t watched very much of Modern Family, but I don’t find it very appealing. I’m tired of Sofia Vergara. I don’t actively seek her out, but yet she seems to be everywhere and she drives me crazy. She strikes me as extremely vain, arrogant, and obnoxious. She also does not strike me as very talented.

    Sofia’s had a facelift, cheek implants, nose job, and boob job, just for openers. And she’s so self-absorbed with her 2nd rate looks and 3d rate talent. BARF.

    I don’t care for this dress or how she dresses period. She always looks like she is trying too hard to make us notice her great body. She doesn’t need to flaunt it, we would notice it if she wore a pillow case. Take it down a notch.
