Here too the Fading Gigolo star has on tons of dress-up makeup. Not only are her lips painted red, but she has a smart red butterfly painted on her cheek.

Her hair again looks naturally highlighted and she is wearing several black bracelets.

Her hair looks blonder and she seems troubled, like she is yelling at someone below. A guard in a white hat stands near.

Mix things up in a mesh panel dress by Cushnie et Ochs

Sofia Vergara looks super cute in these flashback photos, but clearly she just keeps getting better with age!

Along with Reese Witherspoon, she wowed the crowds on the red carpet at CinemaCon in Las Vegas earlier this week, wearing a white pencil dress which features an asymmetric frill front and mesh panel hem.

It's by Cushnie et Ochs, a brand that can boast A-list fans like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kim Kardashian, Michelle Obama, Lindsay Lohan and Blake Lively so you'll be adding your name to one hell of a list. Unfortunately Sofia's Fall 2015 collection dress isn't yet available to buy, but click (right) to get a similar style now at Net-a-Porter.

Mesh panels are a simple way to give an ensemble the edge, so if you want to recreate Sofia's look then check out our edit below. Missguided, Asos and Topshop have all got dresses that will do the trick, or if you're willing to spend a little bit more this Nicholas number has got your name written all over it. So go on, give your LBD the night off!

Family visit !! Press day Miami!!🌴🌴🌴

A photo posted by Sofia Vergara (@sofiavergara) on

Around her are three other women who appear to be either cousins or an aunt.

Next to her is a handsome man who is in a grey shirt and jeans, and a young boy who is most likely her son Manolo.

There are gold framed paintings on the wall and orange spice jars on a coffee table, making it obvious they are in someone's living room.

These images offer a deeper look into the upbringing of Sofia, who has her comedy Hot Pursuit with Reese Witherspoon opening on May 8.

Both Vergara and Witherspoon have been heavily promoting the film, most recently in Miami and Las Vegas.

Sofia has also been caught up in a war with her ex-fiancé Nick Loeb over ownership of their unused embryos that they have made together when they were engaged in the hope that they would someday have a child together.
