In a rare and glamorous family moment, Hollywood superstar Sofia Vergara was spotted celebrating alongside her younger sister, Sandra Vergara, at the prestigious Toty party in Miami on Thursday evening.
A Sibling Affair in the Sunshine State
The Modern Family alum, 53, and her sister, 37, who is a real estate agent on the hit Netflix reality show Selling Sunset, delighted fans by posing together for photographs. Sofia commanded attention in a stunning, low-cut coral gown, while Sandra radiated elegance in a feminine pale pink strapless dress.
Taking to Instagram, Sofia shared the joyful occasion with her followers. Her first post was captioned simply, 'Family!' A subsequent post elaborated, 'Only in Miami u can have this much fun! Celebrating Toty with all this beautiful people! Luv u❤️❤️.' Sandra also expressed her excitement on her own social media page, raving about the 'ultimate' Miami party.
More Than Sisters: A Unique Family Bond
The festive gathering was a true family affair, also attended by other relatives including Veronica Vergara, Rosa Vergara, and Gloria Luque, alongside a family friend, Marianella. Despite their close bond, public appearances featuring both sisters are uncommon. Their last notable red carpet appearance together was nearly two decades ago, in 2005.
Adding a fascinating layer to their relationship, reports from outlets like E! indicate that Sandra is technically Sofia's cousin. However, she was legally adopted by Sofia's family at a very young age and was raised alongside the America's Got Talent judge as her sister.
Thriving Careers on Separate Paths
While Sofia is a household name, Sandra has been carving out her own successful career. Her role on the ninth season of Selling Sunset has brought her into the spotlight, with the show's synopsis promising heightened drama as the agents navigate changing landscapes in Los Angeles real estate.
Announcing her new role, Sandra wrote on social media, 'Three new faces on Selling the OC. And just One on Selling Sunset! And that’s yours truly.' She added that she brought 'a bit more sparkle, depth, and mischief to the Strip.'
Beyond reality TV, Sandra boasts an extensive acting portfolio on IMDB, with appearances on popular series like The Bold And The Beautiful and CSI. The sisters have historically kept their professional lives quite separate.
Meanwhile, Sofia is currently prioritising a better work-life balance. In a recent discussion with DailyMail.com, she revealed she is getting better at taking time off, stating, 'I think I have worked hard enough my whole life that I am finally beginning to let myself enjoy my vacations.' She acknowledged the fear actors often have about missing opportunities but stressed the importance of taking breaks.
