Sofia Vergara delighted fans with a heartwarming mini reunion featuring some of her former Modern Family co-stars, captured in a series of sweet selfies shared on social media. The 53-year-old actress, who recently turned heads at the premiere of Paris Hilton's Infinite Icon documentary, took to her main Instagram page on Friday to reveal she had spent quality time with Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
A Nostalgic Gathering
The trio, who starred together in the hit ABC series that aired for 11 seasons, were all smiles in the photographs. Vergara, who played the memorable character of Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, gazed towards the camera while Bowen and Ferguson flashed cheerful, genuine smiles. The gathering was made even more special by the presence of Ferguson's husband, Justin Mikita, known for his appearance in projects such as Taylor Swift's music video for You Need To Calm Down.
Fashion and Style Details
Vergara dressed perfectly for the lighthearted occasion, wearing a figure-hugging brown knit dress layered with a stylish brown leather jacket. Her long locks were parted in the middle and flowed effortlessly straight past her shoulders, creating an elegant yet relaxed look. The actress opted for minimal accessories to allow her ensemble to be the main focal point, adding only a pair of small earrings and a few flashy rings on her hands.
Her makeup was glammed up with a layer of mascara on her voluminous lashes and a smoky shadow around her eyes. A light blush added a radiant glow to her cheekbones, while a darker nude-colored tint on her lips provided the perfect finishing touch. Vergara later shared a mirror selfie on her Instagram stories, giving fans a closer look at her stylish ensemble, complete with a tan-colored clutch to hold essentials during the fun gathering.
Modern Family Connections
Bowen had played the role of Claire Dunphy in the beloved series, while Ferguson portrayed Mitchell Pritchett, creating one of television's most memorable family dynamics. This is not the first time the trio have come together since the sitcom ended in 2020. Back in 2023, Vergara hosted Bowen and Ferguson at her mansion, with Ferguson's husband also joining in on the fun at that time.
Larger Cast Reunions
Later that same year, a larger cast reunion took place, which the Colombian-born actress also hosted. That gathering included Rico Rodriguez, Ed O'Neill, Nolan Gould, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Bowen, Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, Ferguson, and Eric Stonestreet. Although Ty Burrell was unable to attend, the cast made sure he was there in spirit by printing out a photo of him and framing it for the occasion.
Maintaining Family Bonds
Last year in October, Vergara offered an update on the Modern Family cast five years after the series finale. 'We are still like a family,' the Griselda actress told E! News. 'Everything we do, we are connected in a gigantic chat with all the kids and all the actors. And we're always watching each other, supporting each other.'
The following month, she recalled to People how the cast had initially been 'disconnected' when filming came to a close. Vergara explained they 'kind of got separated because we finished, and two weeks later, they closed everything for COVID. We got disconnected really fast.' However, the strong bonds formed during their eleven seasons together have clearly endured.
Recent Projects and Appearances
The star has been keeping busy with various projects, recently collaborating with fellow actress Octavia Spencer in a Detect the SOS health campaign. The ad is set to air later next month on February 8 during Super Bowl LX. Detect the SOS is described as a public health mission to elevate awareness and encourage people with high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes to include a uACR urine test as part of comprehensive chronic kidney disease screening.
Spencer recently opened up about taking a role in the health campaign, telling People, 'Your body could be sending out an SOS if your kidneys are malfunctioning and you wanna answer the call. And while that sounds like it's scary, the way to detect it is easy.' The test can also help uncover hidden risks for events like heart attack or stroke, according to the official website.
Just last week, Vergara dressed to impress in a strapless leather dress that clung to her toned figure at the premiere of Paris Hilton's documentary Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir. Her dark hair was parted in the middle and cascaded down past her shoulders in light waves. She crossed paths with other attendees at the star-studded festivities, including model and former America's Got Talent judge Heidi Klum.
Vergara shared a series of snaps from the screening, with one image showing the pair nibbling on popcorn while sitting next to each other inside the theater. The actress continues to maintain her status as a style icon while balancing professional projects with maintaining the precious connections formed during her Modern Family years.
