On May 7, 2015, the sun shone, the paparazzi were flashing, and Sofia Vergara was cementing her legacy. The Colombian-born actress was honored with the 2,551st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in true Sofia style, she did it with glamour, humor, and just the right amount of sparkle.

Sofia Vergara's journey to this milestone is like a telenovela with a Hollywood ending. She went from hosting Spanish-language shows in the '90s to breaking comedy ground as the fiery, hilarious, and endlessly quotable Gloria Delgado-Pritchett. Her role on "Modern Family" earned her four Emmy nominations and helped reshape American TV's portrayal of Latinas.
Her star, awarded in the Television category, was a nod to that impact. For fans, seeing her honored alongside O'Neill was like watching a bonus episode of "Modern Family," but with better outfits and more real-life happy tears.

Vergara showed up in a strapless, gold dress that looked like the Hollywood sunset, and wrapped her in a hug. She was joined by her then-fiancé (now ex-husband), the smoldering Joe Manganiello, and surrounded by her co-stars and real-life glam squad of family and friends.
After the ceremony, the celebration didn't stop. There was dancing, laughter, and, of course, plenty of selfies. Vergara, true to her roots, brought joy and family to the forefront, showing that shared success tastes sweeter.

She became one of the highest-paid actresses on television, built her businesses, and continued to represent Latino talent with pride. Whether hosting reality TV or launching beauty ventures, she's proving that this star is only getting brighter.
