- 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.
