Sofía Vergara Joins Hollywood Royalty to Celebrate Anastasia Soare’s Beauty Empire in Architectural Dolce & Gabbana
Los Angeles witnessed a convergence of beauty and power on Thursday evening as the legendary Anastasia Soare, founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills and undisputed empress of the perfect arch, celebrated the launch of her memoir Raising Brows: My Story of Building a Billion-Dollar Beauty Empire at the historic Wilshire Ebell Theatre. The intimate soirée, co-hosted by none other than media mogul Oprah Winfrey herself, attracted Hollywood’s most glamorous names—but it was Sofía Vergara who truly stole the spotlight.
The Modern Family alumna arrived looking every inch the Latin American goddess she is, draped in a meticulously tailored Dolce & Gabbana lace-up midi coat dress that married boardroom sophistication with boudoir allure. The blazer-style silhouette featured an eye-catching lace-up detail cascading down the side—a signature touch from the Italian design duo—while the plunging neckline and long sleeves, casually rolled to the elbow, struck the perfect balance between polished and provocative.
But darlings, let’s talk about those shoes. Vergara elevated her already statuesque frame with Christian Louboutin’s iconic Loubi Queen Alta sandals in sumptuous black velvet, featuring the maison’s signature wrapped stiletto heel that soars to a breathtaking 150mm—that’s nearly six inches of pure, unadulterated glamour, perched atop a 1.5-inch platform. The style, inspired by the seductive pin-up sirens of the 1950s, secured Vergara’s foot with a delicate ankle strap and dainty buckle, while an asymmetric toe-hugging front strap added architectural intrigue.
The Loubi Queen Alta has become something of a signature for Vergara, who has been photographed in various iterations of this show-stopping style. Fashion insiders will recall her wearing the blush napa leather version—currently available for $1,195 on Louboutin’s website—at the Toty skincare presentation in Madrid this past July. Whether she’s choosing velvet or leather, black or nude, Vergara’s loyalty to this particular silhouette speaks volumes about her understanding of what works for her incredible figure.
For Thursday’s appearance, the actress wore her lustrous brunette locks parted severely down the middle, allowing her features to take center stage. Dark sunglasses added an air of mystery on the red carpet, while her accessories remained purposefully minimal: a black clutch, delicate bracelets adorning her right wrist, and a nude lip that let the dress command attention.
Vergara’s affinity for towering platforms extends far beyond Louboutin, encompassing designs from Dolce & Gabbana, Jimmy Choo, Stuart Weitzman, and Saint Laurent. It’s this commitment to elevation—both literal and sartorial—that continues to cement her status as one of Hollywood’s most consistently chic stars.
The event also welcomed fellow luminaries Eva Longoria, Cindy Crawford, and Sharon Stone, all gathered to toast Soare’s remarkable journey from Romanian immigrant to beauty billionaire—a testament to the transformative power of perfectly sculpted brows.
