Sofia Vergara Shares May 7 Throwback in Thong Bikini
sofia vergara used Instagram on May 7 to post a topless throwback photo from her early modeling years. The image showed her wearing only embroidered white thong bikini bottoms and a pearl necklace, with the caption, "Ya casi es verano!!! ☀️?,".

Vergara first started modeling when she was 17, and the photo reaches back to that period rather than her current work on camera. She won the 1992 Look of the Year competition in Colombia, a résumé point that gives the post a sharper business edge than a typical nostalgia drop.
She has also been filming season 21 of America's Got Talent, which is set to premiere on June 2. That puts the throwback in the middle of a busy promotional stretch, where personal-image posts and on-screen visibility feed each other.

Vergara has recently shown a run of daring fashion looks while filming the new season, including a plunging white string bikini in an end-of-the-year photo dump, ultra-cheeky bikini bottoms during a sunbathing session on her Miami balcony, and a teeny-tiny string bikini in another throwback post shared in January. The May 7 post fits that pattern without leaving the modeling-era framing behind.
A 24-foot statue of Vergara was unveiled on July 10, 2025, in Barranquilla, Colombia, which only deepens the contrast between the current TV role and the image she is still selling online. For viewers, the immediate takeaway is simple: the June 2 premiere will arrive with Vergara already positioned as one of the season’s most visible faces, and she is not waiting for the broadcast to manage attention around her name.
