Out of all the celebrities in Hollywood, Modern Family alum Sofia Vergara has one of the most signature styles. Though the Colombian actress varies in color and neckline for each event, Vergara has proved she knows what she likes: figure-hugging dresses that show off her curves.

Talking to Net-a-Porter back in 2016, Vergara explained why she’s developed such a staple look. “People will often say that I wear the same thing on the red carpet, but I know my body: it’s very voluptuous and I’ve got the boobs of a stripper,” she revealed, adding that having triple D breasts often limits her fashion options. “I need my dresses to have structure – and under armor.”

“There is so much going on under my dresses that I bleed at the end of award ceremonies,” she continued. “In ten years I think it would be good to have a reduction. I don’t think it’s even going to be an option not to have surgery, because I’m going to start having back pains. I wouldn’t make them too small – just enough that I don’t end up looking like an old stripper.”

Although we can’t say we totally agree with Vergara’s stripper comparison, any large-chested people out there understand how difficult it is to shop for your body and feel good in it too. And, looking at Vergara’s many looks over the years, “good” is just an understatement. Take a look at all of her best looks below!
