Sofia Vergara puts ex's lawsuit behind her by embracing her playful side and pulling faces while running errands in Beverly Hills

Behind closed doors, Sofia Vergara is undoubtedly less than pleased with ex-fiance Nick Loeb for slapping her with a law suit over frozen embryos they created during their relationship.

However, the 42-year-old actress managed to put the drama to one side when she headed out into Beverly Hills on Wednesday to run some errands.

As she casually strolled past photographers, the Modern Family star embraced her playful side by pulling silly faces.

Proving she wasn't too down in the dumps over the very public, bitter feud with her former lover, the actress then turned her head away and was seen smiling.

For the afternoon out, Sofia wore her highlighted tresses down past her shoulders and opted for natural makeup shades.

Looking effortlessly stylish, she wore a simple blue top and form-fitting three-quarter length jeans, which highlighted her long slim legs.

Adding extra height to her statuesque frame, the star teamed her ensemble with a pair of royal blue strappy heels.

Sofia Vergara was working a rather laid back look as she headed out here. With her slightly distressed turn up jeans and tee, topped off with a hoody draped around her shoulders.

Sofia then finished off her look with a camel-coloured bag and fleece cardigan, which she wore draped around her shoulders.

The star noticeably was not sporting her engagement ring on her travels. However there is clearly no trouble in paradise for her and fiance Joe Manganiello as the pair were spotted out together the night before looking more loved-up than ever.

Joe was seen supporting his gorgeous bride-to-be on Tuesday as she addressed audience members at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas during CinemaCon2015 - where she was promoting forthcoming comedy Hot Pursuit.

But even promotional commitments couldn’t keep Sofia from the True Blood Star - who she was seen embracing the moment she walked off of the stage.

As always, Sofia looked stunning in a fitted white dress that clung to her curves while discussing her latest big screen venture. 

Meanwhile Joe, 38, looked on, but not before posting a fun Instagram snap in which he is seen planting a strategically placed kiss on the emblazoned image of Sofia’s face in a Hot Pursuit promotional poster.

Adding to her own social media account, Sofia later posted a shot of herself and the hunk alongside Reese, who appears to have cheekily photobombed their snap.

In the upcoming comedy, Sofia stars alongside Oscar-winning actress Reese, 39, who plays a police officer while the former is a key witness in a criminal case.

And the two leading ladies gave each other pat-downs off-screen and couldn't keep their hands off each other during the Warner Bros. presentation. 

Reese showed off her svelte frame in a sleeveless purple mini dress and accentuated her lean legs with a pair of white Christian Louboutin high heels.

The mother-of-three styled her long blonde tresses in loose curls and added an extra touch of glamour with a swipe of pink lip gloss.

She was not shy about getting a frisky hand on her pal Sofia's derriere and the Colombian beauty appeared to be enjoying the co-star love.

Reese and Sofia become close confidants on a 24-hour mission across Texas in Hot Pursuit which tells the story of an inept police officer (Witherspoon) who must protect the widow of a drug dealer (Vergara) from criminals and dirty policemen.

Their on-screen chemistry quickly transitioned to real life friendship as they have grown close during the comedy's promotional press tour as the pair have been travelling together.

While working in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Sofia found her film poster was displayed next to her love Joe's Magic Mike XXL placard.

'We r in Vegas!! #hotpursuit #magicmike (sic),' she captioned a photo of herself in between the signs.

And coincidentally her fiance was also in Vegas and puckered up for a snap next to Sofia's poster.

The 38-year-old actor was in town to promote his hotly anticipated sequel with handsome co-stars Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer and Adam Rodriguez.

While Sofia's career is soaring, her personal life is plagued with drama as her ex-fiance continues to publicly lash out at her.

According to Nick, the actress wants to destroy two fertilized embryos that the couple created together.

'I have always strongly believed that life begins at conception and that every embryo is life on the journey towards birth,' he said in a statement.

'I created these two female embryos with the purpose of taking them to term and not destruction, because I have always dreamed of being a father.'

The 39-year-old has now filed a lawsuit last August over the two embryos. On Monday he implied that he wants to use them to have children of his own - either with the involvement of his ex or without her.

However, the Colombian beauty, has a 22-year-old son Manolo with ex-husband Joe Gonzalez, said through her attorney that she plans to keep the embryos frozen indefinitely.

Sofia broke up with Nick last May after nearly two years of engagement. Last Christmas, she became engaged to True Blood star Joe.
