Sofia Vergara’s Vanity Fair photo shoot: gorgeous or tacky?

sofia1

Sofia Vergara is profiled in the new issue of Vanity Fair, the one with Angelina Jolie as cover girl. Two of my forever biscuits in one magazine? It’s like Christmas! Especially since Sofia’s pictorial is absolutely gorgeous – prettier than Angelina’s, in my opinion. I think I like the photos so much because Sofia looks so… glamorous and old Hollywood. Sofia does “down-market” very well, probably because she seems genuinely grounded, funny and accessible. She seems “real”. Even when she’s doing magazine photo shoots, they rarely make Sofia look so classy and not-of-this-world. To be fair to Sofia, she brings her bombshell quality to everything she does – she doesn’t have to “try” to be sexy. She just is. But these photos… she’s really one of the great beauties working today, isn’t she?

A beauty with charm and impeccable comic timing, Sofía Vergara is just as much an international success story as she is an international sex bomb. Discovered in a G-string on a beach in her home country of Colombia, Vergara went on to wow Latin America and parts of the U.S. as a major presence on the Univision network.

The forward-thinking creators of the hit ABC sitcom Modern Family had the sense to write a part especially for the 39-year-old actress—that of the demanding, hilarious Latina princess Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, for which Vergara has earned a 2011 N.A.A.C.P. Image Award and a Screen Actors Guild award, not to mention Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.

She lives in Los Angeles with her 18-year-old son, Manolo (named for a key character in Scarface), who is a recent graduate of the Gunnery school in Connecticut. Next up, Vergara is set to appear in Gary Marshall’s rom-com New Year’s Eve and the Farrelly brothers’ reboot of The Three Stooges.

In her spare time, when she is not tweeting (@SofiaVergara), she is raking it in as an entrepreneur of sorts, having struck deals with Diet Pepsi, CoverGirl, and Kmart.

I wish they had done an interview with her – Sofia is usually funny in interviews. Sigh… I love her. Anyway, Sofia is also going to be one of the biggest names at the Emmys, two weekends from now. She’s not only nominated (for Supporting Actress), but she’s also been named as a presenter.

  5. DrD says:

    She looks pretty great to me. 🙂

  6. Eve says:

    She’s beautiful and I really love her character in Modern Family — also, I find her ability to laugh at herself endearing.

    Pictures look a little over the top in my opnion so…yes, a kinda tacky.

  7. Blergh says:

    Jesus! 39!?!!? That is one amazing looking …everything.

  8. Caity says:

    haha @krissy i love it!

    she’s so sexy, i lust….

  9. Cherry says:

    Pretty pics, but the hair is a bit overdone, right? Especially on the bottom pic. Jesus. It’s like she’s laid her head on a super-furry dog or something. Couldn’t they have eased down a bit on the extensions?

  10. soulsister says:

    Tacky?? No way! She looks gorgeous and sexy hot. Love her!

  11. Sillyone says:

    I do think she is gorgeous but I think there is to much tweaking in the top photo, but I do think the others very much resemble her. AMAZING

    @Krissy bwwhahahaa, Lohan could pass for this woman’s grandmother.

  12. k says:

    She really does have impeccable comic timing, so cheers to her.

  13. Dana says:

    I love her chemistry with Ed O’Neill on Modern Family. I totally buy them as a couple.

  14. DavidBowie says:

    I totally love this woman! Gorgeous.

  15. Mew says:

    Her boob is almost escaping in the first picture, yikes… very beautiful pictures, beautiful lady. She has great figure!

  16. Gigi says:

    In that second photo, her face is giving me Sophia Loren vibes. Divine!

  17. beth says:

    superlative.

  18. inthekitchen says:

    OMG…she’s so HOT. And funny and seems pretty down to earth. Love her!

  19. Harley says:

    She is absolute perfection! I completely adore her! She is funny, seems down to earth in interviews and has got to be one of the most beautiful and sexy women out there. Sigh….my girl crush…

  20. Lily says:

    Yes I love her too! I agree she is one of the beauties now and the same goes for her comedic talent. I’m glad she and Modern Family found each other (you know what I mean) and that it introduces her to so many people.

  21. Delta Juliet says:

    Gorgeous and funny. I <3 her.

  22. danielle says:

    Love the top picture because it shows off her face – which is as stunning as her body. The others I don’t like as much.

  23. El Kiddo says:

    She looks quite like Cat Zeta Jones, yes?

    Gorgeous woman!

  24. malia says:

    she’s gorgeous, like a modern day sophia loren.

  25. TXCinderella says:

    My God she is breathtakingly beautiful!

  26. Denise says:

    Hot. Period.

  27. Happy21 says:

    Wow! She never ceases to amaze me. She is just breathtaking. We can all hope to look like that at some point in our lives but she does it at 39!

  28. jinni says:

    In the pic with the cheetah print bra and undies, what’s going on with her toes? It looks like she has a “X” tattoo and is missing the tips of her toes/no toe nails area. Is this just Photoshop or is that really how her foot looks like?

  29. NancyMan says:

    These pics make me want to re-think my whole ‘sexual orientation thing’. She really has the beauty thing down pat…

  30. J O'C says:

    She is so, so beautiful.

  31. mia girl says:

    ¡Guapisima!

  32. GimmeABreak says:

    She is PERFECT!

  33. oh yeah! says:

    She looks amazing and womanly! Take that Skeletons of Hwood.Yes, Angie I’m talking to you!

    • S says:

      A-greed. Vergara puts so many of Hollywood’s so-called “most beautiful women in the world” to shame! She is gorge and I hope she’s telling the whole truth when she says she’s never been under the knife. She can channel Charo sometimes, and it can be a bit cringeworthy, but at least she’s not a smug famewhore. I hope her success in Hollyweird never goes to her head.

  34. Hootie Hoo says:

    She is such a gorgeous, sensual woman. I the animal print swimsuit pic. Her hair is incredible there!

  35. really says:

    Gorgeous!!

  36. Lynnie says:

    I thought the first photo was Liv Tyler (and I love her, too). SV is awesome!!! She does look like Sophia Loren in the second photo. Anyway, I love it that she’s funny and self-deprecating and seems to be accessible. If she were icy or “I’m so sexy,” I wouldn’t like her at all. But that’s not the case!

  37. lucy2 says:

    Stunning!
    I hope she starts getting better movie roles too, she’s got great comedic timing on Modern Family.

  38. Kim says:

    Gorgeous! And you gotta love her spicy personality.

  39. Perry R. says:

    She’s so gorgeous and funny! However, I find the sparkly silver dress too small for her bust. I love her with that fur stole. 🙂

  40. layla says:

    BOMB . SHELL . !!!

  41. Ally says:

    Ridiculous.

    She’s gorgeous, but what she’s wearing… I wish Stanford and Marcus had shown up to tell the stylist how lame and old-fashioned it looked. (@SATC “Cover Girl” episode)

    Is there a stylist working today who knows how to dress an hourglass shape? Buy a book about Edith Head or 50s Hollywood, you maroons.

  42. Amanda says:

    I agree with @Ally Ridiculous!

  43. ManicPixieDreamGirl says:

    She is like a big sexy columbian barbie doll! She is so funny on Modern Family. Love her!

  44. wtf? says:

    love her inside and out, especially her sense of humour

    if i was, i would

  45. Blithe says:

    Can something be tacky AND gorgeous? I think it’s both. The film is really lovely. And if that’s her real hair, I’m extremely jealous. She looks so healthy. AGAIN: very glad that some of the hollywood types are moving away from the stick-figure movement…

  46. rachel says:

    The first picture is just a pathetic attempt at attention.

    all the others are just pathetic too if you ask me. look at my breasts. Like she’s the only one who has them. What is she even famous for?

  47. Alix says:

    Nice implants.

  48. Cinderella says:

    Caliente!

  49. Maritza says:

    She does look a lot like Catherine Zeta Jones but more voluptuous and sexy.

  50. taxi says:

    Way too much bare boob in first shot = tacky. She’s a pretty woman but I find her annoying. In her late-night TV interviews she borders on Charo-style chatter with too much bragging to indicate an interesting or atractive personality. Better if she’d ratchet down the wide-eyed “I’m so____________(fill in the blank).

  51. Deb says:

    Stunning photos. Modern-day Sophia Loren. Fantastic talent as well.
