'I am 40, I had a baby, and I am a 32F... I need armor': Sofia Vergara on challenges of dressing those curves for the red carpet



It is safe to say that most women would give anything for a body like Sofia Vergara.

But in a new interview, she has admitted how difficult it can be to look good on the red carpet if, like her, one has such bombshell curves.

She admitted to Vogue : 'I mean, a normal girl will just put the dress on and leave. I need them to be like an armory.'

Bombshell curves: Sofia Vergara, pictured in the new issue of Vogue, says her shape is challenging to dress and she needs her dresses to be like 'a work of art inside'

She explained that the gowns she chooses are 'like a work of art inside', pulling her together and lifting her chest.

'You know, I am 40 years old, I had a baby, and I am a 32F boob,' she says. 'And they are real still. When they are fake, you take the bra off and they are still there, perfect! Me - no, so I have to bring them up!'



While, she says, there are many designers that she 'cannot even fit', she names Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli as the designers she turns to in an emergency, as they don't require tailoring.

But for the most part, altering her clothes is more the secret to her sartorial success. She admits, 'I spend more money on tweaking and fixing the clothes than the actual clothes...

'Once you know how to tweak it, you look like you are well dressed,' she says.

In a behind-the-scenes video, Ms Vergara elaborated further on the subject, revealing that she covers up more now than she ever did in the past.

'I think when you're so voluptuous it's kind of difficult to look chic,' she said. ' When I was younger I though I had to accentuate my boobs all the time because I come from the Latin culture - you think that the more you have, the better you look.

'Now I try to be a little bit more conservative, for example, if I am wearing a low-cut dress, I don't wear a miniskirt. So now I am balanced.'

Nor does she feel sexy without some help, adding: 'I want to tell you that I feel sexy when I just wake up, a little make-up and a little bit of perfume - no.



'I feel sexy when I am full make-up on, hair teased, high heels, push-up bra, I mean everything. Then I feel sexy. '

The interview also sees Ms Vergara open up about the fact that she could be set to become a mother for the second time.
