Sofia Vergara in Versace at the Emmys: boring, classic or poorly styled?

wenn29548332

I think Sofia Vergara gets a lot of unfair crap for knowing her proportions and how to dress her curvy figure. When she goes to big events, she obviously gets designers to make her gowns, and she sticks within the same basic framework, year in and year out. But why is that a bad thing? We would be complaining if Sofia dared to change it up and wear something that didn’t flatter her figure, so why not just stick with what works? But at this year’s Emmys, it was Sofia’s styling team that did her wrong. Sofia’s Versace gown was fine. The Versace was well cut, flattering and yes, not that notable. But her styling! My God. The rooster-tail half-pony, the long-ass extensions (which looked like horse hair), the garish makeup. GIRL, NO! Also: Sofia’s Emmys date was her grown-up son Manolo, not her husband Joe Manganiello. Huh. I wonder if that’s something gossip-worthy.

Minnie Driver also chose Versace, only I don’t think she had this made or tailored. It looks like she just pulled if off the rack and threw it on two seconds before she left. This is the wrong color, the wrong silhouette, the wrong fit. Ugh.

    I like Sofia’s dress…I don’t care too much for the earrings, but I love the dress and I think she looks great as usual!

    • Snazzy says:

      I really like the dress as well. It looks great on her. I just don’t like the hair. The half pony thing doesn’t work at all

      PS: I just noticed the cut outs. Ok that makes it works. I hate cut outs

    • JM says:

      I love her dress! She’s giving me flashbacks of Sophia Loren (ageing myself) in her prime.

      • g.lamerek says:

        Loooooove the the ring and bracelet. Anyone knows who designed it?

        Also, Mini’s pic looks like she’s missing a foot.

    • EyeRollin says:

      I get the feeling they tried to style her hair Ariana Grande’s style but it doesn’t do Sofia any favors…

  2. Betti says:

    With Sofia is not really the framework thats the issue, yes she does know how to dress for her body type, for me it her dresses could be more elegant – they always look a bit trashy Vegas arm candy to me. She is a beautiful woman with a great bod – she knows how to work it. The dress is lovely on her.

    • als says:

      True, but in all fairness, 90% of clothes you put on that kind of silhouette will give off some sort of Vegas look. For me, I like a trashy – elegant style and her body is above any bad outfit.
      I like her ring-bracelet a lot, it is a very cool accessory.

  3. Tania says:

    Sofia has done something to her face. I don’t know what but I don’t like it.

    • detritus says:

      I thought maybe she was sick? She looks like she’s losing weight. You’re right though, something different.
      I looked again, maybe it is manjello related. She looks sad or stressed.

      • marymoon says:

        I think you’re right, since marrying she has looked (to me) both stressed and like she’s lost/losing weight.

    • hnmmom says:

      I noticed the same thing. I think she did some aggressive facials/peels leading up to the event plus a tight pony pulling her skin.

    • Michelina says:

      Totally agree, Tania. I’ve noticed it a lot in recent photos. She definitely had some work done. her face looks tight and almost puffy. I think it’s in the eyes and cheeks. Whatever it is, I hope it’s not permanent because I don’t think it’s a good look. Her face looks strange and frozen.

      • Sparkles says:

        Tania, I’d noticed it as well. I love her and think she’s lovely, although I don’t particularly like her hairdo for this event. Her face, especially around the eyes, has that same “pulled, tightened” look as Julie Bowen. Perhaps they go to the same doctor?

    • JenniferJustice says:

      Obviously yet another nose job. She’s veering into Jackson territory. Why get rid of your cultural features while proclaiming to be so proud of your heritage which is your entire persona you’re banking on? Doesn’t make sense.

      • deevia says:

        How is a facial feature “cultural”? Sofia is white with heritage dated back to Europe, just on the South side even though culturally she is Latina. She can be proud of her culture AND do what most other white American do.

      • Ericka says:

        Race: White. Ethnicity: Latina.

      • g.lamerek says:

        Getting work down has nothing to do with losing ones ethnicity. Common, the amount of work being done tody is incredible.

  4. Kate says:

    Eek to both. They are both beautiful women but these looks didn’t work.

  5. Bex says:

    I wouldn’t criticize her for sticking with the same style. Why fix what ain’t broke? If it makes her feel comfortable and confident, then good for her. Besides, the men get to turn up to every event in boring ill fitting tuxes! That being said I sort of hate this particular dress with the weird corsetry cutout things. Cutouts are a trend that need to die immediately.

  6. Jegede says:

    Never seen him before, but her son looks like her.
    Dunno why that surprises me.

  7. Lara K says:

    Did she have a nose job? A bad one?

    I think she looks fine, I’m even ok with he hair. Very typical of her, but as said, she knows her body. The nose tho…

  8. detritus says:

    The hair 🙁
    She needs to take some remedial YouTube courses with AnnE.

  9. Guesto says:

    Love the top half of Minnie’s dress – the colour is great on her – but the length is off. Floor-length would have worked better.

  10. Elyna says:

    Sofia is giving vibes of Charo, all curves and hair. Beautiful lady, missing only the confidence to pull off a different look unless with others support — note that look when she is with her son. 😀

    Props for Minnie. She can pull off the yellow AND the slits of the dress, something usually reserved for a 20-something female. Minnie is ageless!

  11. lucy2 says:

    There’s something about Sofia’s dress that looks a little cheap to me, though I’m not the biggest Versace fan so that’s not surprising. Don’t care for that hairstyle on her.

  12. Michelina says:

    Sofia’s son Manolo is handsome! If you have Instagram, he’s hilarious on there.

  13. Kitten says:

    I just find her style so incredibly boring and one-note and what she’s doing to her face: she needs to cut it out.

  14. Margo S. says:

    I don’t like the dress around her bust. She has beautiful breasts. Don’t make them look all odd with a weird single strap! But the colour and makeup are perfect.

  15. QQ says:

    *yawn* .. really Just *yawn*

  16. ChimChimsMom says:

    The first photo of Minnie Driver looks like she has only one leg.

  17. Steph S says:

    I always find Sofia to be boring…pretty, but boring. That bracelet/ring combo is BADASS, though!

    I don’t think Minnie has aged in the past twenty-ish years. She looks great (dress aside).

  18. Amanda DG says:

    I’m not a big fan of Sophia but I rarely see her look bad. She usually finds the perfect dress to compliment her amazing figure.

  19. Kate Bush says:

    I don’t like Sofia’s makeup especially the dark lipstick which makes her face looked pinched to me. Minnie’s body is amazing

  20. TheOtherSam says:

    She looks fine here, as she usually does. Why isn’t Joe M there with her? I don’t think he’s currently filming anything. Something’s up. Maybe not marital probs, but he’s barely been seen in public since his health issues a few months ago. I wonder if it was more serious than they said and he’s been recovering from something we’ll know more about later.

  21. Pmnichols says:

    Love her dress and her body looks great but I did not like her hair at all.

  22. A Fan says:

    Yup, boring. But her face is now the problem…she’s crossed the line into too much work.
