In 2010, Sofía Vergara first stepped onto the Emmy red carpet as a nominee. Gloria Pritchett was just beginning to make her famous around the world, and the Colombian actress, with her light brown mane and that laugh that became her trademark, was competing for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy thanks to Modern Family.

Sixteen years later, on September 14, 2026, she returned to the same ceremony. This time in a pastel pink Laura Basci mermaid-cut gown, with lace and illusion panels that outlined her silhouette as if the calendar had not moved forward. Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, including a pear-cut diamond ring, completed the look.

In between came the yellow dress from 2022, the Jessica Rabbit-style red one by Dolce & Gabbana in 2024, and even that broken zipper from 2012 that she herself turned into a funny anecdote. Different colors, different fabrics, but the same woman recognizable at a glance: that’s what stands out most about her appearances at the Emmys.
