Sofia Vergara made a stunning appearance at the five-star Hôtel Costes in Paris on Wednesday night, showcasing her signature style during the Paris Fashion Week festivities celebrating the women's FW/26 collections. The 53-year-old America's Got Talent judge wore a brown lace-and-silk slip dress that highlighted her cleavage, layered beneath a lighter brown suede maxi-coat.
Vergara's Fashion Week Ensemble
Her outfit was completed with peep-toe platform heels selected by stylist Rhonda Spies, and she accessorized with a braided clutch. Vergara wore her signature brunette hair down with a middle part, and her makeup featured a fully contoured, suspiciously-unlined complexion with a smoky eye and defined brows. This look perfectly captured the glamour of the high-profile event.
The Heels Philosophy
In a recent revelation on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Vergara confessed she wears heels 'all the time' unless she's working out or relaxing at her $26 million seven-bedroom Beverly Park mansion. 'I'm Latin. I don't even know if I love them. I was born with them on,' the Colombian actress explained. She added, 'I am more comfortable in high heels. I think it's like a Latin thing.'
Vergara elaborated on her comfort with heels, stating: 'Why do you want to feel your feet? It's great. The longer they have them on, you don't feel them. It's like really numb. And if you have one little drink? Oh yeah, you don't feel them at all!' This candid insight offers a glimpse into her personal style philosophy.
Personal Life and Career Updates
Missing from Vergara's side during her Paris trip was Spanish actor Manu Vega, who at 32 is 21 years younger than her. Despite this absence, the pair were seen kissing outside the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood on February 13. Vergara finalized her divorce from second ex-husband Joe Manganiello in 2024 after seven years of marriage.
She is the mother of 34-year-old son Manolo Gonzalez from her two-year marriage to high school sweetheart Joe Gonzalez, which ended in 1993. Professionally, Vergara will next judge the 21st season of America's Got Talent, premiering late May on NBC, alongside Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B and host Terry Crews.
Financial Success and Business Ventures
According to The Cinemaholic in 2021, Vergara earns $10 million per season of America's Got Talent, with season 21 marking her seventh time on the popular reality competition. Beyond television, she keeps busy with multiple business ventures:
- Running her beauty brand Toty (after her nickname La Toti)
- Managing culinary brand Toma with her son
- Overseeing the Dios Mío Coffee brand
The four-time SAG Award winner also filmed her role in Daina Oniunas-Pusić's New York-set black comedy Thumb last November, alongside stars like Milly Alcock and Awkwafina. With 57.8 million social media followers, Vergara serves as an influencer with paid partnerships for brands including Telemundo, Boehringer Ingelheim US and Skechers.
Paris Vacation Details
Vergara has been vacationing in France for the past week, showcasing the decadent meals she's sampled at fancy restaurants like La Renommée. Her Paris Fashion Week appearance at Hôtel Costes was part of these celebrations, demonstrating her continued prominence in both entertainment and fashion circles.
