The first trailer for Robert Rodriguez's "Machete Kills" features Sofia Vergara, Jessica Alba, Mel Gibson, Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Amber Heard, Antonio Banderas, and Charlie Sheen (as Carlos Estevez).

Even Lady Gaga has a role in the film!

Due in theaters September 13, "Machete Kills" features Danny Trejo as a Machete, who is recruited by the President to stop a billionaire arms dealer.

And it looks ridiculous. But maybe in a good way?

Character posters for upcoming film "Machete Kills" have started to roll out and the latest Sofia Vergara one doesn't hold anything back. 

Film distributor Open Road Films shows it knows how to take full advantage of Vergara's assets in its latest marketing device.

 Here's the first one that was released earlier. Notice there are no guns.

There they are in the new one.

Looks like they had some inspiration from Katy Perry.

The film is Robert Rodriguez's sequel to 2010 film "Machete" and follows the adventures of gun-slinging Danny Trejo after he's recruited on a mission by the President.

"Machete Kills" comes out September 13.

The Alpha Female of the "Modern Family" clan, Sophia Vergara took the top spot on Forbes' list of Highest-Paid TV Actresses of 2013, for the second year in a row.

Vergara's earnings reached $30 million, thanks to a 16-time Emmy-winning ABC sitcom and a bilingual portfolio of endorsement deals.

The 41-year-old Colombian beauty has a clothing line at Kmart and is a spokeswoman for Diet Pepsi, Covergirl, Rooms To Go, Comcast, and State Farm insurance.

With a $30 million salary, "Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara was recently named Forbes' highest paid actress on TV for the second year in a row.

But the 41-year-old Colombian beauty didn't get there on her looks alone.

"I think that the concept of being sexy and smart is difficult for many to grasp," Vergara says in the new issue of Glam Belleza Latina. "Most people are more comfortable with the notion of 'sexy bimbo.' And I have to admit that I've capitalized on that to negotiate a couple of times, when the 'smart ones' think I have no idea what I can deliver, and I end up costing them more." 

Vergara also boasts big endorsement deals with Diet Pepsi, CoverGirl, Kmart, Comcast, and State Farm insurance.

"I'm not ashamed to say I love making money," the actress admits. "I like business, and the truth is I save way more than I spend. I invest. I plan for the future. I have a special eye for opportunities and work harder than anyone might expect. It is fun to shock people with my business ideas. Most people just see me as [her 'Modern Family' character] Gloria." 

Vergara says that her now 21-year-old son motivated her to work hard and make money "because I had a child to support" — even if that meant dying her once blonde hair dark.

"I wasn't getting roles because I didn't look, according to many casting directors and producers, 'Latina enough.' The reality is Latinos come in all colors, heights and flavors, but who was I to preach this stuff when I needed a job?" she says. "My team and I decided to darken my hair to make it more in tune with my accent, and it worked." 

Clearly.

Stars don't merely go home after awards shows — they party the night away!

Winners, nominees, and wannabes hit bashes thrown by InStyle and Warner Bros., NBC, FOX, and the Weinstein Company after Sunday’s Golden Globes.

Taylor Swift may have had the most fun last night.

She partied with "Modern Family" star Sarah Hyland, Hailee Steinfeld, model/actress Jaime King, and other friends at The Weinstein Company & Netflix's 2014 Golden Globes After Party at The Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Then she got an earful from Bono as Liberty Ross watched on.

Her pal Sarah Hyland posted this candid shot: "Dance party!! @taylorswift @haileesteinfeld @odeyarush1 #goldenglobes"

"She doesn't need a golden globe. She's got two! @sofiavergara and her tequila ;)" her "Modern Family" co-star Sarah Hyland posted.

Vergara later tried to steal Jacqueline Bisset's Golden Globe. "Its mine!!!!!!!mio!!!!!!!!!!"

Heidi Klum photobombed Kaley Cuoco and stylist Tara Swennen.

Model Miranda Kerr bared almost all and partied with her ex, Orlando Bloom, at the InStyle and Warner Bros. bash in Beverly Hills.

Blogger Jared Eng posted this pic of a dance-off. "Jaime King Epic dance party par deux @cameronmonaghan@jaime_king @izakr #austinswift #goldenglobes"

And Aaron Paul stayed true to character. "It's that time. Yeah Bitch. #GoldenGlobes"

Despite what some of the characters she plays may suggest, actress Sofia Vergara is a very savvy businesswoman.

Today, the 41-year-old Colombian beauty is expanding her $30 million a year empire to include a fragrance line, simply called "Sofía."

The perfume line's earnings could easily double Vergara's annual earnings.

According to Women's Wear Daily, "Industry sources estimate Sofía by Sofía Vergara would generate $25 million in first-year revenues. The fragrance is priced at $55 for a 100-ml. version and $48 for a 50-ml. version. A 200-ml. Body Shimmer is $30."

Vergara's bilingual portfolio of endorsement deals already includes a clothing line at Kmart and spokeswoman positions for Diet Pepsi, Covergirl, Rooms To Go, Comcast, Head & Shoulders, State Farm insurance, thyroid medicine Synthroid, and more.

Combined with her "Modern Family" paycheck, Vergara's annual $30 million earned her the top spot on Forbes' list of Highest-Paid TV Actresses of 2013, for the second year in a row.

Vergara acknowledged she could have signed a scent deal much earlier, but waited for something where she could "maintain creative control over her fragrance franchise," which launches April 24 on the Home Shopping Network.

"I usually don’t like getting into things where I don’t have a say," Vergara explains to Women's Wear Daily. "I just don’t want to give them my name and say, ‘Do whatever you want.’ I am trying to create my brand. I have my clothing line, the makeup, the hair, the furniture, and this was something that really rounds out my brand.”

HSN will have an exclusive on the fragrance in the U.S. through July, and it will branch out to “upper moderate” U.S. department stores in time for the holiday shopping season. 

Vergara notes that she wanted to continue building out her brand and accumulating more "Modern Family" fans before hawking her Colombia-inspired perfume to the masses.

“I don’t think I would have ever been able to achieve the things in my brand that I wanted to do [without the show]," says Vergara. "Because of ‘Modern Family,’ I became a household name in the American market. Kids come up to me, grandmothers, mothers, grandfathers. It opened all the doors for me to do the things that I wanted to do,” she said.

And the actress' social media reach doesn't hurt, either.

Vergara currently boasts nearly 6 million Twitter followers, over 1.4 million followers on Instagram, and 5 million “likes” on Facebook.

As for whether her brand could one day reach $1 billion in sales, she tells WWD, "It’s not what I’m thinking about right now. I’ve done all the things I’ve wanted to do, and [further extensions] have to be something organic. I don’t want to force it.”

But that doesn't mean that Vergara isn't being proactive when it comes to her financial profile.

"I'm not ashamed to say I love making money," the actress admitted to Glam Belleza Latina magazine in December. "I like business, and the truth is I save way more than I spend. I invest. I plan for the future. I have a special eye for opportunities and work harder than anyone might expect. It is fun to shock people with my business ideas. Most people just see me as [her 'Modern Family' character] Gloria." 

Vergara says that she has even capitalized on people's misconceptions about her.

"I think that the concept of being sexy and smart is difficult for many to grasp," she added. "Most people are more comfortable with the notion of 'sexy bimbo.' And I have to admit that I've capitalized on that to negotiate a couple of times, when the 'smart ones' think I have no idea what I can deliver, and I end up costing them more."

Soon-to-be -married "Modern Family" actress Sofia Vergara just dropped $10.6 million on a villa in the heart of Beverly Hills, according to Trulia.

The 11,400-square-foot home has seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, including a master suite with separate his and hers closets and a balcony terrace. The estate grounds include a pool, spa and room for two maids to live. 

The Colombian-born beauty is the highest-paid actress on television for the second year in a row, according to Forbes, bringing in $30 million between June 2012 and June 2013. Her fiance is businessman Nick Loeb who is related to the founders of Lehman Brothers and his uncle is the late Canadian Billionaire Edgar Bronfman, Sr.  

Sofia Vergara's new villa sits in Beverly Hills.

It includes a sprawling entryway.

The home spans 11,400 square feet.

To provide some eye candy as Academy of Television Arts & Sciences president Bruce Rosenblum gave a speech during Monday night's Emmy Awards, Sofia Vergara hopped up on a platform and posed as she spun around on a pedestal like a trophy. 

While Vergara was clearly in on the joke, people on Twitter weren't laughing:

I love @SofiaVergara but did anyone find that schtick somewhat offensive?

— Katie Couric (@katiecouric) August 26, 2014

This whole spinning platform Sofia Vergara thing is borderline 1950. Just sayin' #Emmys2014

On the plus side, the Vergara bit has magically united everyone in my Twitter feed in mutual sorrow and shame.

— emilynussbaum (@emilynussbaum) August 26, 2014

That Sofia Vergara bit was offensive. Remember last night when this was on TV? #Emmys#VMAspic.twitter.com/q6TNwnn9Az

— Mark Lieberman (@MarkALieberman) August 26, 2014

When Vergara heard people were offended by the bit, she defended the skit to reporters after the Emmys:

I think it’s absolutely the opposite. It means someone can be hot and also be funny and make fun of herself and enjoy and work and make money, so I absolutely think it’s ridiculous. And somebody who started this, and I know who she was, has no sense of humor and should lighten up a little bit!

Perhaps the "I know who she was" is aimed at Couric?

The 21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards took place Sunday night at The Shrine Auditorium.

The SAG Awards is an accolade given by the actors to actors, recognizing outstanding performances in both film and TV. 

This year's show brought out everyone from Sofia Vergara and Reese Witherspoon to Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston.

"Cake" best actress nominee Jennifer Aniston with fiancé Justin Theroux.

"Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara, wearing a Donna Karan Atelier dress, with fiancé Joe Manganiello.

"True Detective" nominee Matthew McConaughey with wife Camila Alves.

A Tumblr blog that imagines what celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Kendall Jenner and Zayn Malik would look like if they were ginger is making the rounds on social media and has amassed more then 7,000 Instagram followers since April 28.

Australian ad creative Nadia Ahmad is the brains behind the blog, which is called "Put a Rang On It.""Rang" or "ranga" is a derogatory term for a person with red hair in Australia. It comes from the word orangutan, according to Urban Dictionary.

Other outlets that have covered this Tumblr suggested that the celebrities looked worse with red hair and that the blog was created in order to point that out. NewNowNext went as far as calling the blog "sickening" in a headline. This rubbed some — including Ahmad — the wrong way, although NewNowNext has since clarified on Twitter and via email with us that they meant "sickening" as a positive adjective, the way it's used in the drag community and on other posts on their site.

Follower reactions on the project's Instagram account are mixed. The comments below, for example, all appear under Zayn Malik's photo.

But Ahmad insists that the blog wasn't created to hurt feelings or pile on to the anti-ginger hate that many redheads experience. Read on for our Q&A with the Put A Rang On It (PAROI) creator.  

BUSINESS INSIDER: How did you get the idea for this?

NADIA AHMAD: The name ‘Put A Rang On It’ was created a couple of years ago by my friend Josephine Burns (who is a fellow redhead) and myself. We were in a bar talking about an idea that had to do with ginger hair and it was coined ‘Put A Rang On It’. Years past and that idea didn’t go anywhere, but the name stuck with me so I recently decided to focus on famous faces and launched it on Tumblr, Instagram and Facebook just over a week ago. 

BI: Are you ginger yourself?

NA: No, I’m not, but thinking I might dye my hair now.

BI: Are you trying to make a statement at all with this, or do you just think people look interesting with red hair?

NA: The statement PAROI is making is that these celebrities look really good with red hair. I didn’t start PAROI to be malicious and I want people to understand that. 

BI: How do you feel about people who say hurtful things about gingers? For example, the headline that called PAROI "sickening"— what's your reaction to that?

NA: Yes, I saw that and it actually pissed me off because that is absolutely not what PAROI is about. It’s about embracing redheads and giving more power to them.

BI: How do you decide which celebrities to put on PAROI?

NA: Sometimes it’s just who’s top of mind. Other times it’s event based, like the Met Gala. I also posted several ‘Throw Back Thursday’ images. Most suggestions come from friends, but I also like to throw in a few randoms like Jean Claude Van Damme, Betty White and Chewbacca. 

BI: You're Australian, right? What is the perception of redheads and gingers there?

NA: Yes, I am. My belief is people should judge others on who they are as people rather than what they look like or where they come from. Most Australians, and a vast amount of people around my age, are the same way. I’m proud to say that I have such a diverse group of friends who can all laugh at themselves and at each other, so it really doesn’t matter, as long as you’re not coming from a place of hate.

NOW WATCH: This simple exercise will work out every muscle in your body

Sofia Vergara is starring in a new reality series premiering on Snapchat this summer, Variety reports.

The series is being co-produced by Fusion and Vergara's own talent management company, Latin World Entertainment.

The "Modern Family" star's new six-episode series will be "a tongue-in-cheek look at the [thespian's] career through the perspective of her son, Manolo González Vergara," according to Variety.

“Manolo finally graduated, and I am very happy for his alliance with Fusion to create such an innovative series,” Sofia Vergara said in a statement.

Besides Vergara's series, Fusion already has a Snapchat presence: the news and entertainment outlet is one of Snapchat's Discover content partners, and broadcasts news updates in a number of languages on the platform.

"Vergaraland" won't be the first original series to debut on Snapchat. 

In February, a series called "Literally Can't Even" premiered on Snapchat's Discover feature. Discover allows Snapchat users to view pieces of news in the form of Snapchat Stories. After 24 hours, the stories self-destruct and new content replaces them. Snapchat's partners for Discovery include media companies like CNN, Vice, Comedy Central, National Geographic, and ESPN.

Written by Sasha Spielberg — the daughter of Steven Spielberg — and Emily Goldwyn, the daughter of film producer John Goldwyn, "Literally Can't Even" stars the friends and writing partners as comedic versions of themselves — Spielberg recently single after a long relationship and Goldwyn embarking on a six-month cleanse — and follows them on a series of misadventures in Los Angeles,"according to the Hollywood Reporter.

New episodes of the series get published every Saturday, but each episode self-destructs after 24 hours, much like Snapchat Stories or the content available in the Discover feature. Presumably, Vergara's new series will be featured on Discover in a similar way.

NOW WATCH: It's dangerously easy to record Snapchats without the other person knowing

One of the big highlights of Netflix’s “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday” is the appearance of Joe Manganiello.

Playing himself in the new movie, the “Magic Mike” star shows up to the town Pee-wee lives in and, after the two hit it off, Manganiello invites the childlike character to his birthday party in New York City. This leads to Pee-wee’s first-ever holiday, which is filled with interesting characters and hilarious dreams of Manganiello.

A die-hard Pee-wee fan, Manganiello told Business Insider that he instantly said yes to playing the role when Paul Reubens (who plays Pee-wee) personally called him a year before shooting started, asking him to be in the movie.

“For me, nothing can prepare you for putting on a Pee-wee suit, getting on a life-size piñata, and jousting while speaking Spanish with giant pinwheels of fire around you,” he said, referring to one particular dream sequence he and Ruebens did for the movie.

But what he was completely prepared for was showing his wife, Sofía Vergara, the "Modern Family" star, the finished product.

Admitting he wasn’t scared at all to show her his wacky side, he told us the two actually had a small screening party at their house with Reubens to watch the movie.

“The two of us were just laughing the whole time,” he said from the South by Southwest festival, where “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday” had its only theatrical screening (it’s currently streaming on Netflix).

But Manganiello said there’s another fun part about showing your wife a comedic role you did.

“When you know somebody the way we know each other, the other person knows when you’re doing ‘that thing’ you do,” he said. “It’s like there’s these little Easter eggs that we drop in our performances that make the other laugh.”

Sadly, Manganiello is keeping those Easter eggs to himself.

NOW WATCH: A law professor tricked his students into lying, which shows why you should never talk to police

Chicago (AFP) - TV star Sofia Vergara is facing a bizarre lawsuit brought on behalf of two frozen embryos she created with an ex-boyfriend, the subject of a year-long legal battle. 

The embryos are listed as plaintiffs "Emma" and "Isabella" in papers filed with a Louisiana court, the New York Post reported. Louisiana is a pro-life state where embryos are given rights as people. 

The surprise filing by a trust apparently established for the embryos comes as Vergara's ex-fiancee Nick Loeb this week sought to end another lawsuit he had filed against her. 

In that suit, the businessman had tried to gain custody of the two fertilized eggs he and Vergara created via in-vitro fertilization with the aim of bringing them to term.

According to the new lawsuit, not allowing the embryos -- currently frozen at a California fertility clinic -- to be born is depriving them of their inheritance.

The Colombian-born actress has said she wants to keep the embryos frozen indefinitely. 

"A woman is entitled to bring a pregnancy to term even if the man objects," Loeb wrote in April in a New York Times op-ed. "Shouldn't a man who is willing to take on all parental responsibilities be similarly entitled to bring his embryos to term even if the woman objects?" 

But the 42-year-old "Modern Family" star insisted last year that she's "doing the right thing" by refusing to sign over custody of the embryos to Loeb.

"Can you blame me?" she said on the "Howard Stern Show."

A child brought into the world needs "more than a mother, it needs a loving relationship of parents," she added.

Loeb, 39, signed an agreement with Vergara -- America's top-earning TV star -- in November 2013 before they proceeded with IVF, stipulating that nothing would be done with the embryos unless both agreed.

However, Loeb sued the actress for custody after their breakup, saying the agreement did not clearly state what would become of the embryos if he and Vergara were to split. 

The latest lawsuit on behalf of the embryos is unusual and a "longshot," legal experts told The Daily Beast, but had a "very real chance at some kind of success" thanks to Louisiana's pro-life laws.

NOW WATCH: Here's why some people have a tiny hole above their ears

Sofia Vergara is a lot more than her beautiful curves and spot-on comedic timing.

The "Modern Family" star has been the highest-paid television actress for five years in a row, but her hard work started years before anyone knew her name.

You may think you know Vergara, who turns 45 on July 10th, but here are five things you probably didn't know about the Colombian beauty.

1. She's a natural blonde.

One of Vergara's earliest success secrets started with being able to recognize what would get her ahead. And, ironically, it started with her head. Known now for her flowing brunette locks, Vergara is a natural blonde. She made the switch to a darker do, because it was more marketable in Hollywood.

"I'm a natural blonde, like my siblings,"Vergara told Parade.

"When I started auditioning for American acting roles, they didn't know where to put me," she continued. "A blonde Latina? In L.A., they're used to Latin women looking more Mexican. But if you go to Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia, everybody is blonde."

2. She originally planned to be a dentist.

After high school, Vergara studied to be a dentist.

“I didn’t want to be an actress. I wanted to be a dentist, but you never know what life will bring you,” she told the New York Daily News. “But I can’t complain, I’m happy with what I’ve achieved.”

Her career path would forever be altered one day at the beach.

"I was 17. I was at the beach with my parents and some scout asked to take a Polaroid of me," Vergara told E! of the pivotal moment.

Her first big job was in a 1992 Pepsi commercial.

3. Vergara had a child at just 19 years old.

At 18, Vergara wed José González, who she described to Parade as her “high school sweetheart, the only one." A year later, they had a son, Manolo. But things didn't work out between the couple and a year later, when Vergara was 20, they divorced.

Vergara raised him as a single mother, and Manolo is now 24 years old and has his own modeling career.

Vergara has also found a new love in "True Blood" and "Magic Mike" actor Joe Manganiello, whom she married in November 2015.

The INSIDER Summary:

• Sofia Vergara's long locks and center part have been her signature look for years. 
• But she switched things up and debuted blunt bangs on Instagram. 

Sofía Vergara has definitely perfected her *look* over the years. Vergara is known for her long flowing locks and curve-hugging dresses, so we were pretty shocked when the "Modern Family" actress revealed a major style change on Instagram.

She got bangs! The mother of one (soon to be two!) debuted the switchup on Insta, posing just so as she snapped a selfie. “New haircut,” she wrote. “Gracias, #KellyKlain!”

Whoa. It’s a huge departure from her last public appearance on June 26 when she attended a launch party for Raze in Los Angeles where sported her signature beachy waves and a tight, mermaid-silhouette minidress. But we dig it!

While Vergara looked undeniably gorgeous with her new fringe, she couldn’t help but have some fun with it, too.

In a second snap uploaded last night, she likened herself to Mexican sitcom character La Chilindrina, a mischievous prankster with pigtails, glasses, plenty of freckles, and of course, those straight wispy bangs. LOL! We already knew Vergara was a world class comedian, but it’s good to see she doesn’t take herself too seriously.

Looking good, Sofía!

NOW WATCH: We drove a brand-new Tesla Model X from San Francisco to New York — here's what happened

The INSIDER Summary: 

• Sofia Vergara posed nude for the cover of Women's Health's September issue. 
• The cover is for the magazine's first ever global "Naked Issue."
• The magazine's team felt that Vergara is a celebrity who would resonate around the world.
  

Women’s Health is baring all for its September issue. 

The cover of the magazine’s “naked” issue features Sofia Vergara sitting on a wooden block, completely nude save for the shiny brunette waves cascading down her back (in the new publishing era, even the cover benefited from a brand partnership — Vergara is a spokeswoman for Head & Shoulders, and the magazine made a deal with the company for advertorials).

“The goal is to show really confident, strong women in their own skin,” said editor in chief Amy Keller Laird. The idea of showing some skin came from the U.K. edition, which has had cover stars pose au naturel on its September issue for the past three years. The U.S. led the charge on taking that concept and making it bigger. The concept, with Vergara on the cover, will run globally on 15 editions.  

“Step one was finding someone who would resonate around the world, and there’s only a few people who do that,” Keller Laird said. According to Keller Laird, there was a shortlist of three stars whom the editors of all the global issues could agree on, and the “Modern Family” star was number one. Although the decision was, according to the magazine, an editorial one, being able to work with Head & Shoulders on ads and online advertorials was, no doubt, a plus. 

The editors took the “naked” concept and applied it to all the content in the issue. There are instructions for how to take the peels of fruit and vegetables, guides to natural snacks and cosmetics, service pieces about vitamin deficiencies and which articles of clothing to remove at various doctors, stories about auras and climate change.

“We are looking at nakedness not just literally and physically, but mentally, emotionally, metaphorically,” Keller Laird explained. “We wanted to make sure to take the concept and not be utterly cheesy about it.”

Even Keller Laird disrobed for the issue. Photos that accompany her editor’s letter show her topless — at least, from the shoulders up.

“Our editorial director essentially said that if I was asking all these women to strip down and bare it all, shouldn’t I be willing to do the same?” she said. “But really, I’m only showing a little shoulder. There are different forms of nakedness and rawness and being open, and mine is more an emotional nakedness.”

The issue, which hits newsstands on August 8, comes as parent company Rodale begins to entertain bidders in preparation for a potential sale.

Sofia Vergara is currently the highest-paid television actress in the world, according to Forbes. 

Vergara has been the world's highest-paid television actress for the past six years in a row. (Forbes' period ran from June 2016 to June 2017.)

Vergara reportedly made a whopping $41.5 million this past year - $15.5 million more than the world's highest-paid film actress, Emma Stone.

According to Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid TV actresses in 2017, Vergara's big financial gain this year comes not only from her role on the hit series "Modern Family," but from two licensing deals, and her uber-popular line of perfumes.

While the other women on the list have made exorbitant amounts of money this past year, none have even come close to beating Vergara's earnings.

These are the 10 highest-paid TV actresses of 2017:

It looks as though playing Abby for the past 14 years has payed off.

9. Robin Wright ($9 million)

Thanks to her role on the acclaimed Netflix series "House of Cards," Wright has become one of the top female earners in television. 

Wright also had a role in "Wonder Woman," and the upcoming films "Justice League" and "Blade Runner 2049" this year.

8. Priyanka Chopra ($10 million)

The Bollywood actress' major sources of income this year came from her drama "Quantico," as well as her endorsement deals with Pantene, Lyf Mobile, and Nirav Modi. 

Chopra also had a role in the film "Baywatch" this year.

• Sofia Vergara posted a throwback photo to her Instagram on Thursday.
• The photo shows the actress with her natural blonde hair back in the '90s. 
• Vergara previously revealed that she dyed her hair in order to find more success with auditioning for roles in America.

Sofia Vergara may be known for her fierce brunette image, but a throwback photo she posted to Instagram on Thursday reminded everyone that she used to look a little different.

The "Modern Family" actress wasn't always rocking deep brown locks — she's actually a natural blonde. Vergara's most recent Instagram post gave her followers a look at her bright blonde strands from the '90s.

Vergara has previously spoken about her blonde roots, revealing to Parade magazine that she went brunette in hopes of finding more success with auditions in America. 

"I’m a natural blonde, like my siblings," she told Parade in July 2011. "When I started auditioning for American acting roles, they didn’t know where to put me. A blond Latina? In L.A. they’re used to Latin women looking more Mexican. But if you go to Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia, everybody is blond."

The actress kept her natural hair color for some of her earliest red carpet appearances in the US, which she sometimes shares with her followers on Instagram.

She's definitely not the only celebrity to change her natural hair color, as several others have switched up their styles for certain roles. Either way, Vergara looks just as flawless with her natural color as she does with her darker dyed locks.
