Sofía Vergara loves a good throwback moment, and she didn’t hold back on June 19 with probably the most sizzling photos to hit the internet. 

The 52-year-old actress showed off some steamy white bikini snapshots on Instagram that flaunted her fit physique. The carousel of images was taken in a tropical location where her golden glow and slightly wet hair were on display. She flaunted her gorgeous curves and toned legs as she stared soulfully into the camera’s lens. The America’s Got Talent judge kept her caption short and simple, “#tbt Miami☀️☀️.”

Vergara has always felt confident in her own skin and her former Modern Family costar, Ariel Winter, praised her for passing that body-image lesson onto her at a young age. “I had Sofia Vergara, for one thing. Growing up working with her was amazing because I got to see how confident she was in her body and how much she embraced her curves,” Winter shared with Today in 2016. 

While she has always been comfortable showing a little skin, Vergara hid her curves when she filmed her Emmy Award-nominated role in Griselda. 

“She was maybe not a Barbie doll, but the real Griselda Blanco had something — she had some kind of sex appeal that I needed to show,” she told Varietyin August 2024. “I didn’t want the bouncing that is natural for Latin women to show,” Vergara said. “I would have to wrap myself so that my butt wouldn’t jiggle. I had to wear a really bad bra. I had to cover my arms because I have very skinny arms, and you don’t look threatening when you have this stupid little arm.”

In her real life, though, Vergara is OK with showing off her athletic shape— whether it’s a daring one-piece swimsuit or a tiny bikini. She also loves that her beauty icon status has followed her through her decades in Hollywood. 

“Well, it’s great that at this age I’m still considered a beauty icon because you know after you start feeling time goes by, things change,” she said to Home Business Magazine, via The Mirror. “So of course, I love it, I think it’s great that I’m showing a little bit more of the Latin looks all over the world, I’m showing a little bit of my ethnicity off.”
