Sofia Vergara shows off her new (original!) blonde hair: pretty or unflattering?

This is just an FYI – Sofia Vergara is blonde now! Sofia tweeted the above photo yesterday to show off her new shade. I think this is probably closer to her natural hair color. Sofia has said in several interviews that she dyed her hair brown when she came to Hollywood because no one believed that a Latina would naturally have blonde hair. It’s not the Hollywood stereotype! So she dyed her hair darker, although there are several early-modeling shots of Sofia where you can see her natural dirty-blonde hair.

So, considering it’s close to her natural color… I like it. I’m glad she didn’t go platinum-blonde, she went for more of a caramel-honey blonde, and the shade suits her skin and eyes. I’m assuming she’s done filming Modern Family for the season because I think this might be too big of a change for the Gloria character, right?

Incidentally, we got a funny/gross tip yesterday from someone who had some dealings with Sofia’s fiancé Nick Loeb several years ago. This tipster – who wants to remain anonymous – says that Nick “is indeed a complete d–k and tool. He is nothing but arrogant.” The tipster also claims that at the time, Nick “had a book of women he screwed and at the time it was something like 800. He did do drugs, and much more.” ALLEGEDLY!! I mean, last year there were some sordid reports of his womanizing, his affection for hookers and orgies, and his love affair with sweet lady cocaine. But Nick denied all of those reports. But did he ever get around to suing anybody? Hm. Anyway, this is the guy that Sofia is going to marry. And she’s going to have a baby with him too. Via surrogacy because she doesn’t want to mess up her body.

    I was in Miami at the same time as Sophia – I didn’t know her, but used to see her around and her hair looked exactly like this then…. All of ours did since it was the height of the foil highlight, lol!

    I think she actually looks younger like this – love it!

    • brin says:

      Yes, it does make her look younger. She’s lucky, she looks good either way.

    • bella says:

      agreed – she does look much younger as a blond.
      and very different.
      and, yes, beautiful either way.

      so, foil highlights aren’t still in vogue??? LOL

      the entire salon where i go has rows of women getting their foils on…including me…

      • GiGi says:

        Bella – I admit I’m a sucker for foils – give me my late ’90s, multi-tonal beachy blonde hair any day. Especially since I found my first white hair a few months ago and now it’s turning over so fast – highlights keep me from having to dye it every two weeks to my natural dark brown.

        A lot of people around me are doing hand applied/balayage highlights right now.

    • Kasia says:

      agreed. Very flattering.

    • Eve says:

      Agreed. She looks absolutely gorgeous — and she’s barely wearing makeup (you can see her freckles).

    • Clare says:

      I don’t think anything could look, as they say “Unflattering” on her- she is just so pretty!

    • V4Real says:

      Here’ s what some don’t know; Sofia was actually born a natural blonde. She was told to dye her hair dark to look more Latin. That’s messed up right.

  2. Hannah says:

    God, she looks so young! And a bit like Kate Beckinsale at that angle.

    • bluecalling says:

      +1 on the young comment

      i am looking at this pic thinking… she is OLDER than me and somehow i don’t see it…

      very lucky woman

  3. balehead2012 says:

    She looks really good with that hair colour: young and fresh. (Can they just please stop with the open mouth thing?!)

  4. judyjudy says:

    For the most part, everyone’s original hair color is always the most flattering for their face.

    She looks really pretty. She has amazing hair. Is it all her own?

    • clare says:

      I’m very fair with blonde hair but because I live in Australia, I never really go in the sun so my hair is a sort of dark blonde or perhaps light mousey brown (I am assuming from looking at my regrowth) so I get foils to restore it to it’s original colour!

  5. Lottie says:

    She looks so beautiful sans fards! I’m so jealous!

  6. Lolly says:

    She looks amazing! & younger somehow..

  7. chloe says:

    I like the lighter hair and the light makeup, it makes her look a lot younger.

  8. lucy2 says:

    Looks good on her.

    If her boyfriend is half the jerk these stories make him out to be, she’s a fool for marrying him.

  9. Mrs.Darcy says:

    I agree it makes her look younger, but somehow I still prefer it darker. She’s ridcyoulooosely pretty anyway as Gloria would say. A shame her taste in men seems beneath her.

  10. Chelsea's handler says:

    Sophie Viagra!!!!!!!

  11. Tessa says:

    I thought she was some teen model in this pic before I realized it was Sophia. She looks fifteen!

  12. Jayna says:

    Come on. She was blond at 19. At 40, her hair is brown naturally. I am sure, like my sister, her hair darkened over the years.

    • jc126 says:

      I’ve seen a pic of her as a young girl (think this was on the Daily Beast or Gawker yesterday) and her hair was more like a mousy brown/dark, dark blond. Not “blond blond”, you know? But lighter than it is now.
      As for her hair getting darker, who knows. My hair color seems to have gotten lighter as I’ve gotten older apart from the grays I’ve got now, and my hair is naturally that mousy brown shade. It’s faded somehow.
      I do like this shade on her, however.

  13. Kiddo says:

    Either way, she looks gorgeous. Whoever did the highlighting did a fantastic job, it looks pretty natural and not overdone.

    • T.C. says:

      +1

      Looks very natural, matches her skin tone. Makes her look younger. On other people lighter hair ages them.

  14. Ellie66 says:

    She could have 3 hairs on top of her head and still look amazing! She is a very beautiful woman and really funny! Love her!

  15. Jen34 says:

    What a beautiful girl. I’d like to see what she looks like on the red carpet.

  16. Nemesis says:

    Does her voice sound like that in real life? Or is it an act for modern family?

    • Dhavynia says:

      The voice in the show is a little more exaggerated than real life but not by much, English & Spanish

  17. Jenna says:

    I LOVE it! 🙂 Still can’t see what she sees in that fiance of her though! His squinty little eyes creeps me out!

    • Eve says:

      Squinty eyes and slack-jaw. Not to mention his reputation of being a douchebag of the highest order.

      She’s gorgeous and seems to be a grounded, nice person…she could do so much better. I don’t get it.

  18. sarah says:

    google chris paciello and sofia
    she likes them that way

  19. janie says:

    She would be beautiful bald.. Love the blond!

  20. Nev says:

    Gorgeous.

  21. Shira says:

    That’s not blond… also looks like she got highlights, not dye job.

  22. Dawn says:

    I just love her and I think she looks great! Love the hair on her and yes I do believe that is all her own hair. It is so refreshing to see someone who is 100% real from her hair to her toes. And she can act too!

  23. Relli says:

    Looks great! I always think women should go lighter as they get older, especially Latin women. Dying you hair dark as you get older looks odd my MIL and SIL do this and makes them look so hard. In the words of the great Lorelei Gilmore ” “Dark hair is like a big arrow pointing out what is wrong with your face.”

  24. Bananas says:

    Why do you talk about Sofia’s decision to have a baby via surrogacy as a decision about keeping her figure? Realistically, she is 40, which is hitting the VERY tail end of the age spectrum for a feasible healthy pregnancy + baby.

  25. alice / jane says:

    Does anyone else is under the impression that this woman may be / have been involved in drug trafficking in some way / at some point?
    I don’t know much about her, she’s not that popular here in Europe, but there are facts emerging from her interviews that made me wonder.
    Frequent trips from Colombia to Miami as a young model, self-declared admiration for the Scarface character plus the shady boyfriend rumored to be a cokehead.
    I also vaguely recall a blind item form some time ago about a successful breakthrough actress that made it in Hollywood by basically being a coke supplier.

    • MissKittyKay says:

      I wouldn’t doubt it. I have thought for a long time that she likes the cocaine.

    • OriginallyBlue says:

      Isn’t she Columbian though? I mean I could believe it but frequent trips to her country is not odd.

    • ataylor says:

      Frequent trips to Colombia to visit their families by Colombians is not rare. Especially for those that live in Miami. It’s only 2 hours by plane and airfare is really cheap.

      Not everything has to be proof of a stereotype.

    • Jarredsgirl says:

      with a guy like that… yes. I mean, this is the guy she has chosen to be her husband!! Now why would somebody who is not into drugs and is not a douche want to marry a drug-addled douche? Generally we pick partners that are similar to us, so…. & in these pics, he looks high as a kite!

  26. Helvetica says:

    She is beautiful

  27. BRE says:

    I like her hair but I just don’t consider it blonde. I think it looks like a light brown.

  28. mystified says:

    Wow! She used to look to be in her late 30’s. Now she looks 23. Pretty either way.

  29. TheTruthHurts says:

    She looks pretty, a lot younger, but, also like a tranny if that is possible. :/

  30. Prettylights says:

    That’s about the same shade as my natural hair – I like it on her! She looks very young and pretty.

  31. KellyinSeattle says:

    She’s so gorgeous but I think she should’ve stayed with dark hair; it’s kind of her trademark (her hair), with her body, and I don’t want to see her mess with it…I think she looks classier as a brunette; brings out her natural beauty.

    • Ailine says:

      Classier as a brunette? Are you saying that blondes are somehow less classy? I hope not because that would be silly.

  32. Miss M says:

    Gorgeous!!!!

  33. Francesca says:

    It looks good. Pluck her eyebrows and she’d be a beauty.

  34. LucyToy says:

    looks more porno. But still beautiful, couldn’t change that!

  35. Mandy says:

    I think this shade actually makes her look younger, right?

  36. Happymom says:

    Hmmm-do her lips look like they got a little plumped out? I think we’re so mesmerized by her hair (and her boobs, of course) that we over looked this . . .

  37. Lee says:

    so good

  38. Annette says:

    I love it. I think Sophia’s naturally dirty blonde, like the sort of person who was blonde as a child so she can pull off blonde as an adult. She’s one of the few women who look equally good both blonde and brunette.

  39. a. says:

    Pretty woman but I prefer her as a brunette.

  40. xoxokaligrl says:

    Yawn.
    Why are we talking about her again?

  41. SydneySpy says:

    I live in Australia and I remember reading about these allegations re Nick Loeb a few years ago, even though I didn’t, and still don’t, know who or what he is. He appears to be a right twat. It just goes to show that even stunning, successful and much-admired women like this fall for these scummy dropkicks. Maybe it’s that “bad boy” attraction thing…
