Sofia Vergara looks busty in sizzling red dress at Primetime Emmy Awards
Sofía Vergara looked as stunning as ever when she made a grand entrance at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday.
The 52-year-old Modern Family actress set temperatures soaring with her fiery red dress, which featured a plunging neckline.
Vergara is nominated this year for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series for her lead role in Netflix’s miniseries Griselda, in which she played the Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco Restrepo.
The Emmys are set to honor the best of television at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Sofía’s off-the-shoulder dress design highlighted her toned arms, and the dress’ bust and torso were covered in delicate, tight ruching.

The look included a long scarlet skirt that reached the ground and trailed behind Sofía slightly.
The television star — who previously revealed that she is a natural blond — wore her caramel-colored brunette locks in gorgeous, lustrous waves cascading down her shoulders.
Vergara is nominated in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Anthology Series or Movie category for portraying the real-life drug lord Griselda Blanco Restrepo in Netflix’s miniseries Griselda.
The role required her to wear extensive facial prosthetics, though she still looked considerably closer to her usual self than to the real-life Griselda.
She is competing against a stacked lineup of actresses, including Jodie Foster for True Detective, Brie Larson for Lessons in Chemistry, Juno Temple for Fargo and Naomi Watts for Feud.
According to Deadline, the nomination makes her the first Latina born in a Latin country — Colombia — to be nominated in the Lead Actress in a Limited Series category.
In a statement released after her nomination was announced, Vergara gushed: ‘Wow. Griselda was my first dramatic role ever, and it took us 15 years to bring her to life.
‘I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who was a part of this series. I could have never done this without my director Andres Baiz, my costar Alberto Guerra, Eric Newman, and the full creative team, my partner and producer Luis Balaguer, Ted Sarandos, Bela Bajaria, and their team at Netflix, and all the amazing cast and crew,’ she continued. ‘I never dreamed that after Modern Family I would be able to work on something as special as Griselda.
