Sofia Vergara Shows Some Skin in a White Lace One-Piece Swimsuit for Her Birthday

Sofia Vergara is a vision in white on her birthday!

The Modern Family actress modeled a bright white swimsuit in not one, but two stylish ways as she celebrated her 51st birthday in Italy on Monday.

In the first photo, Vergara took a selfie as she captured cliffs and the Mediterranean sea in the background. The 51-year-old was age-defying with a fresh face and sported her signature deep nude lip, while her hair hung loosely.

Vergara accessorized her swimsuit with a gold chain-link necklace and embellished bangles, along with a pair of blue aviator sunglasses. The actress was seen in the following photos posing on a boat in front of more cliffs in her swimsuit as she took her sunglasses off.

An outfit change was made in the last photos shared, as Vergara added a pair of high-rise white wide leg pants over her swimsuit, in a full monochrome look.

A final photo saw Vergara giving fans a full-length view of her white birthday ensemble as she posed by the balcony of the restaurant with her pals.

On Monday, Vergara shared a stunning makeup-free selfie to commemorate her birthday.

“Waking up here on my 51st birthday,” the actress captioned, translated from Spanish. “Still with health, dreams, energy, (my knees already hurt) but with a lot of joy to live!”
