Bombshell
bride! Sofia Vergara has shared the first look at her stunning wedding dress.
The
“Modern Family” star married Joe Manganiello at the Breakers Resort
in Palm Beach, Fla., on Sunday, and wowed in a Zuhair Murad couture gown that
complemented the lavish festivities.
Sofia has
worked with the A-list designer for a number of her past red carpet looks
– including the Emmys, Golden Globes and Oscars – and adopted
elements of their signature aesthetic for her special day.

“I was delighted to have the opportunity to collaborate with
Sofia on her dream wedding gown,” the designer told Access Hollywood. “I wanted Sofia to look phenomenal
on her wedding day, showing off her hourglass physique and enhancing her famous
curves. She expressly said that she wanted to look sexy, so I created a design
that blended soft sensuality from the transparencies of tulle with the ornate
glamour of ornamented embroideries and mini pearls.”
Featuring a
strapless, heart-shaped neckline with a fitted bodice and 3D embellishments,
Sofia’s one-of-a-kind number was made with more than just love.
The piece contains 11 pounds of sequins, 350 crystals and six pounds of pearls within
its intricate, hand-stitched beading and embroidery, and required more than
1,600 hours of labor by 32 different people to construct.

Sofia was also dripping in jewels for the big day, complementing her gown with gorgeous Lorraine Schwartz 55-carat diamond pear-shaped earrings, a diamond hair clip and a diamond bracelet.
In an interview with People, the actress said she had a specific look in mind that was all about embracing her
place in life – and showing off her famous curves.
“Personally, I know
that I don’t like the natural look that some brides do. I’m 43, I don’t really
need to look like a virgin getting married,” she said. “I want to
look sexy. I want to look great. I want to look good and [wear] something that
I know is going to look good in pictures.”
