Last week, we had the new Shape Magazine cover with Sofia Vergara, plus some excerpts from her cover interview. These are some of the additional photos from Shape’s photo shoot. Look at Sofia’s 40-year–old ass in that bikini! Jesus. I would do her. Without apologies. Sofia and Emma Thompson. The three of us could live as each other’s sister-wives with absolutely no boys forever and ever. Here are some more excerpts from her interview:
Sofia on primping: “All the women in my family are [primpers]. We put makeup on to give birth! When I started feeling contractions with my son Mamolo, the first thing I did was wash and blow-dry my hair before I went to the hospital. You never know how long you’ll be in labor. It could be days until you’re able to take a shower.”
Sofia’s cravings: “If I could, I would have foie gras and éclairs for breakfast, lunch and dinner!” But her real love is cake – “I love it. Vanilla cake, angel food cake, chocolate cake. For me and my son, buying cake at the grocery store is like buying milk. We always have it in the house.”
[From Shape Magazine, print edition]
Those are the only other interesting parts I found from the interview. It’s not like Shape Magazine was trying to go in-depth about life and death with Sofia. Not that she’s not smart – I think she is. But she also knows that people just want to see her in a bikini and listen to her talk about food.

Nice to see someone with T+A, finally…so tired of seeing the same, blonde clothes hanger with bolt-ons.
well, hellooo girlfriend!
Now that is a sexy 40 year old body, especially since she had a child/children?!
She and I are the same age. I feel like such a schlump.
I had no idea she’s 40. Has she had children? Sometimes I show my husband these threads on CB just to get his opinion….he won’t be seeing this one.
Her body is just gorgeous. Healthy, curvy, like a woman.
I wanna start by saying that this woman is beautiful and funny. This is not a hater post. I just wanna know is this really curvy? Is she even a size 6? Is size 4-8 now “curvy” and 10-whatever just plain “thick.”
more like sofia viagra.
So people with small boobs and no hips aren’t actually women? Well, that’s good to know. I’ll tell that to my vagina.
She’s so gorgeous.
She can really be no bigger than a 4.
“Curvy” now only means “thin with big boobs.”
The definition of curvy has definitely changed over the years.
Not a hater post either.
I too think she is delightful.
@Ladybird83: No curvy is curvy, as in, curves in at the waist and out at the torso and hips/butt. It has nothing to do with dress size. Curvy means not straight and angular, but also not round. I hate it when “curvy” is used to mean fat! Yes, you need some meat on your bones to be curvy, but a round ball doesn’t have curves either.
She is beautiful and seems really nice, too.
Kaiser, if you got stranded on an island and had to choose between Sofia and Angie to keep you company (or do other stuff!), who would you pick? 😀
as hot as she is, i just wanna hang out with her and get drunk and drive all the boys nuts 😀
@Raven Sparrow
God, the reality show that brings to mind LOL!!!
Yeah I agree that curvy should not be synonym for fat, *edit* or plus sized for that matter because there are plenty of plus sized girls out there who ARE NOT curvy, and plenty who are. I’m fairly petite (5’5, 125) but the way I carry my fat is like an hourglass. My thighs are naturally thicker because I run a lot, I have a small waist, larger boobs and butt. I’m not fat by any stretch of the imagination, but I am curvy, and I’m not going to let people tell me because I wear a 4-6 that I don’t qualify. Curvy has nothing to do with dress size. It has to do strictly with curves. Fabgrrl is correct. A round ball is no more an hourglass than a beanpole.
On topic though, Sofia looks absolutely ravishing. I have a massive crush on her.
I would also reckon that she’s closer to a 6 than a 4 simply because of the size of her funbags. Sofia probably gets most/all of her dress custom made or at the very least tailored. She looks like she has the waist to hip ratio of the 4 (around 27 inches) and the bust of a 6-8. I would assume she buys larger and gets the waist taken in. Her boobs are magnificently big for how small and tight her waist is.
She looks fantastic not matter what size she is.
@fabgrrl
Exactly! She is a pin-up. If people need to understand what curvy means then go check-out the women from the 40, 50, and 60’s era. Pin-up women. Sofia has large breasts and she has hips. Not big hips, but from her waiste line to her thigh there is a CURVE in her hips. Not a straight line, but a curve in her hips. Hince the term curvy. She is 40…good God Almighty. I thought she was in her late 20’s and early 30’s. They tried to change the term curvy into a nice way to say overweight. Sorry…out of shape is out of shape and curvy is a lady that is in shape, but has curves to her body. Her hips, butt, and breasts. That is Sofia.
OMG Jane, too funny!
Raven Sparrow – My number lady for a desert-island situation is Emma Thompson. The second choice would be… damn, that’s a tough call! Probably Angelina ahead of Sofia, just because Angelina is more interesting (to me).
so nice to see a healthy body in HW. no matter the breast department: i get a feeling that ladies of HW have to have impressionable, big boobies for them to be ok to be curvy. healthy isn’t ok just with big boobies.
healthy is always ok!
(english is not my first language, so sorry for the mistakes;)
@geekylove
“(english is not my first language, so sorry for the mistakes;)”
You spelled “boobies” correctly. That’s all that counts.
I love hearing from you out of town girls. (That’s just an expression that means not local)
Agreed, curvy means a certain body type, doesn’t have to do much with the weight (but is definitely not a synonym for fat!).
That said, I don’t think she’s that curvy (like some other latinas) and she’s def very thin – size 4 to 6 with big boobs, but a regular bottom. I mean look at her belly! At the age of 40 and cake diet… I am depressed right now.
Shape always does massive photoshopping of its covers… I saw some web page that had before and afters for several (Rachel Ray comes to mind) and boy, the before’s were nothing like the after’s.
Still though, she looks superb.
She looks fab. But then she lost me at foie gras. Ew.
She’s got a great body but I check a lot of photoshop on that abs. And the foie gras thing, I’m with Circe.
she’s not 40, she’s 38 but still, what is the perpetuation of this idea that you can’t have a nice figure at 40? sheesh.
I’ve been wondering about photoshop, too, as Shape is notoriously heavy handed with their mouse clicks, but I remember not terribly long ago some candid pap shots of Sofia in a white bikini (an age/figure appropriate one, very very cute) and while her stomach is not that ripped, it is flat, which in and of itself is mindblowing. The only thing I can account for that is that she had her son very young, so her body was able to snap back much better than a woman in her late 20s, or 30s and 40s.
@Serena – because most people don’t have a nice figure at 40. That’s not an idea that’s being perpetuated, it’s a REALITY that’s being perpetuated. People can have wonderful figures at any age, but genetics, eating habits, money, the amount of time you can dedicate to working out and eating right are big factors in whether or not people stay in shape as they get older. Looking at Americans in their 30s and 40s, I would say it is a feat for someone of 38, who’s had a child, to look THAT good. It’s not a feat for someone who’s rich and famous, but for the everyday American, her body is an unattainable ideal. Most people don’t have the time, money, or energy to maintain their bodies like they’d want to. It’s possible, but highly improbable. That’s just the way things are.
Jellis!
those boobs are real, she’s been famous in her country since she was a teen and they’ve always been present. She’s just some freak of nature of having an almost cartoon-like bod that is aging fabulously. Did this get photoshopped? Sure. Everyone does. But her body has not been chopped into oblivion either, she’s just got some great genes.
“curvy means a certain body type, doesn’t have to do much with the weight (but is definitely not a synonym for fat!).”
Yes…very true! Curvy is definitely not a synonym for fat, even though people try to use it that way. They use the term curvy incorrectly if they do.
@Serena
It’s not about her body, it’s her face. I’ve seen her on tv interviews a couple of times and she looks very young in the face. Not saying plenty of 40 yr olds don’t look 10 years their junior. It’s a compliment to how good she looks, saying I didn’t know she was 40 or really 38. She looks 28/29/30/ mayyybe 31 in tv interviews. She just has one if those young faces, like the red head on How I Met Your
Mother. Of course she’s young looking and sexy hot.
@KJ
No no, can’t agree with that now. That gives people the excuse to not take careof themselves. Of course the body does change with age, but if you do the old
tired saying..’Workout and eat right’…you will look good at 40 and on.
In the United States there are so many chemicals in our food and few places that sell healthy food, we are a large country. There are plenty of great looking women in their 40’s and older, in this country and especially the world, that show you can look great at all ages.
The thing in regards to people with money is they have the cash for a tummy tuck. After having kids, yeah sometimes the stomach isnt the same. It’s just what do you want to pay for or go in debt for. Portion control when eating bad foods and making healthier choices is the key. Going for walks regularly is another.
I want a body like that!
@KJ: I was 40 when I had my baby, and my belly is flat as can be again. But it’s always been flat. That is just not a place that bulges on me, or perhaps on Sophia either. We won’t get into other parts of my body though… 😆
Seriously though, Shape Magazine? They draw pretty pictures from their photographs. You can’t even call them photographs, so I’m not making any conclusions about the way she actually looks from these photos.
@Soapdish – what about the people who work such crazy hours to provide for their families that they don’t have time to work out? What about the moms who are so busy taking care of their kids that they’re too tired to go to the gym? Are you talking about being healthy or are you talking about having a killer body? Because it’s easy (sort of) to be healthy, even on a budget and with not so much time, but if you’re telling me that her figure is attainable with our economy, our work hours, our wages, etc., then I have to respectfully say I could not disagree more. Getting a figure like Sofia for most people takes at least an hour in the gym, 4-6 times a week, and watching your caloric intake very carefully, which is damn near impossible for busy, working parents of multiple children. You CAN look great at all ages, I won’t argue that. But to say that it’s just sooo easy, well, if it were, we wouldn’t be an overweight country, would we? Being overweight is much more than sheer laziness. It’s a lot of environmental, situational, monetary and physical factors rolled into one. Please re-read my post. I’m not giving anyone an excuse for anything. But I am saying, and I said before, it is much harder for the average 38 year old woman to look like Sofia than it is for Sofia to look like Sofia.
*EDIT* And before anyone jumps on me, YES, there are overweight people who are just plain lazy. And YES there are working parents who have great bodies. They usually have great paying jobs with not so terrible hours, a luxury that the average American does not have access to.
@Crash2GO2 – My mom had me later (she was 37 when I was born) and her stomach is STILL flat, even at 59. Other areas have gotten bigger, mostly due to both knees not having enough cartilage to run really, but she just has that kind of body. Some people are built that way, I guess. I can only hope I got her age-resistant genes, though!
If you want to see some 40s year old with amazing bodies, come to my gym. Now granted, their kids are in school and their husbands make enough money that working out is kind of their job, but they look incredible.
“She and I are the same age. I feel like such a schlump.”
I know that shouldn’t have made me laugh, but it did. Women like Sophia exist to make the rest of us feel like schlumps. 😉 A very empty existence if you ask me…
I just called my husband over and asked if he wanted to see Sofia Vergara in a bikini. We both exclaimed,”Boobies!” She’s my crush.
Dear God she is fabulous! that body is sick! I love it!
I remember seeing her on a Spanish language talk show after she’d moved to Hollywood and just dyed her hair dark, and they said on the show she was a size 6. Which no, is not fat, and curvy is definitely a body-type, but compared to the average Hollywood actress, she’s bigger. So I believe she does eat cake. 🙂
She is beautiful and I love the quote about primping before labor (as some of us discussed doing the same on another thread). That being said, I’m not convinced she hasn’t had some liposculpting on those abs. They just have that look about them, similar to Jersey Shore J-WOW.
She looks amazing. That is a beautiful body to admire.
So nice to see a real aged and bodied woman who hasn’t been massively photoshopped. Makes her look even better.

So people with small boobs and no hips aren’t actually women? Well, that’s good to know. I’ll tell that to my vagina.

I’d better do the same.
Nobody is offended for the obvious photoshopping in this case… ?
Her belly looks nothing like that, go check her bikini pictures taken when she was on a boat on vacation.
And her boobs too are done.
She is ALL woman. Beautiful.
@truthSF: I agree. 😀
THat white bikini is spectacular. ABS mania!
LadyBird 83: I said curvy, so not sure if you were referring to my post, but personally, I meant she actually looks like she has some extra fat that makes her look soft. It’s nice to see someone who doesn’t look like a skeleton.
I also describe Beyonce’s body as curvy and womanly. I think her body is ‘ideal’ as well.
A size 10 isn’t thick by any means, it just depends on how tall you are.
I think she looks amazing no matter what age she is!
She looks like she works out, she probably considers it part of her job to stay in shape.
She quit college a few credits away from being a denist? I’m impressed. It’s what I wanted to be. 🙁
@ fishlips…u and ur husband r a waste of air
oh la la! Chica is banging!! Thanks Sofia for showing them at 40 is only a number!!
@KJ
I talked about looking good in every age group. Where did looking like Sofia come into play? Where did I say anyone could look like Sofia? I said women can look good in all age groups. You should go back and read my post. No one is going to look like Sofia. Only Sofia is going to look like Sofia. Everyone has different bone structures. Even though Sofia falls into a group of being curvy, she does not look exactly like another curvy woman such as Selma Hayek. Everyone is built differently. Sofia is Sofia and Selma is Selma.
A person can be their own personal best and making it a family affair is the right thing to do and the only way to have kids be healthy in their adulthood.
You know there are companies(people’s jobs) that actually have a gym? A YMCA membership in my neighborhood is $30 a month. A dollar a day. Who needs a gym? There are workouts one can do all over the Internet. YouTube.com. We all know about sit-ups & push-ups. We know about leg exercises. A person can also walk…not run, but walk around their neighborhood. Take the kids for a 30min walk/bike ride. 3 hours a week is what’s needed. 3 hours a week doing at home workouts is what’s needed. People can
spend $10 for lunch each day. How much fruit and vegetables, can a person buy at the grocery
store with $10.00. There are plenty of herbs someone can get at the grocery store for cheap. Basil, Pepper, and so forth …to season meat.
Sticking to chicken and fish…you can’t go wrong as far as meats. Stick to baking primarily and only fry with olive oil or butter like Smart Choice.
Recipes that need seasonings that aren’t expensive are all over the Internet too.
As far as your kid claims, my grandmother had 13 kids…in that a set of twins. My aunt had 9 kids. My grandmother is in her early 90’s. Both always small people. Small doesn’t equal healthy,. Illustrated by Mariska Hargitay and Toni
Braxton.
Who said anything about easy. Is work always easy, school, family, friends, and life in general.
I rent out space to people, so my hours vary 4 days a week. If you want something you have to work for it. It’s what a person wants for themselves. If you want something you’ll work for
it. Everyone knows eating from a grocery store is way cheaper than eating out. Choose vegetable, fruits, fish, and chicken over the processed stuff.
Personally if I want to eat crap I just do. Don’t want to workout, just don’t. Simple. No excuses.
If you’re working more than 40hours a week or have specific family circumstances it’s understandable to not workout. Eating right, there isn’t an excuse not to. Even with foodstamps these days, unlike the past, people get to pick what they eat. If you can eat out, have the Internet, and are able to walk, then you can be fit.
I mean you can go to a 4 yr colleges gym and
get a trainer for 35, 40, 50, or 60 bucks once or a couple of times to get info on proper workout techniques. Lot cheaper than some gym like All American Fitness.
@Jane: Amen. I am by NO means curvy, and it kind of irritates me when people say curvy women are real women. Yes, I love curves, but in my case at least, I simply don’t HAVE any, and I hate feeling like I’m less of a woman because of it.
That being said, I think Sofia is gorgeous, and really in shape.
Just throwing this out there: The average size of a “pin-up girl” or “starlette” in the 50’s/60’s was size 12-14. Carry on…
Dayum!
I like the dress in the 3rd photo, but not the blue one.
Must start working out…must start working out…
I wish you put side by side Sofia’s cover with LeAnn’s. What half a year makes. That LeAnn issue shook my whole being, what a tragic mess that was Shape rebounded with this issue and earned plus points, unless they put LeAnn back again.
😉
Why is she always showing one side of her face at an angle in pictures? Is she one dimensional?
She is so pretty!!! great bod for 40+
She has like a son in his 20s.
i hope she stays curvy or “normal” and not become ano.
look WHAT has happened to Emily Blunt.. i used to love her, but she has succumb to hollywood too and the latest post Kaiser put up, emily looks FREAKING DEAD!
i thought she was better than that but i guess she gave up.
u know its funny, she hooked up with a married man and was living with him n very open about her relationship with him…(he wasn’t divorced until recently i don’t think) and people seem to adore her!(i think she is as FUNNY as hell and more beautiful than a lot of hollywood types)! Know what the difference is btween her n some othr ppl who have done the same? Sofia isn’t on twitter 24hrs a day taunting n being horrible instead of living the life with the gigolo she stole!
mr. original kate just saw this photo and he made a three stooges-type noise, something along the lines of “whubbada whubbada.” i asked if he thought she was sexy and he immediately said “not as sexy as you.”
well played, mr. original kate; well played indeed.
WOW! The original bellaluna, you are spewing misinformation by throwing out the dress sizes from the 50’s-60’s. Most everyone knows that those sizes 12 & 14 translate to sizes 6 and 8 respectively. Don’t fool yourselves!!!!
There is a website that is dedicated to the measurements of hot chicks. Sofia’s measurements are 5’7″ bust 40″ waist 28″ hips 39″
Love it that she is so fit and sassy, and still eats cake all of the time! My kinda gal!
She was born July 10, 1972. That means whe will be 40 on July 10, 2012. She is 38 1/2. Looks awesome but just for the record. 🙂
When I was 21 I was a size 4 with 34F bra size.. It can happen o_O
she was in madea goes to jail – funny shit
love it
don’t change a thing
