Sofia Vergara put on a busty display in a gorgeous black dress as she continued to promote Griselda – as it emerged she and Netflix are being sued over the upcoming series.
The Modern Family alum. 51, looked like she was having a blast with a group of actors, actresses and crew from the upcoming Netflix series.
Her dress showed off her famous curves beautifully with a plunging neckline, figure-hugging silhouette and a small cutout that exposed a flash of her skin.
The Colombian bombshell – who gushed about the variety of single men in New York City – wore her long, lush brown hair parted in the middle and cascading down her torso.
Black heels with a strap around her ankle completed her latest look on the press tour. She captioned her Instagram post: ‘What a night!’

Vergara is being sued by Griselda Blanco’s estate who want to block the new Netflix series over its alleged ‘unauthorized use of their family’s image and likeness’
In the series, the America’s Got Talent judge plays Griselda Blanco, a Colombian drug lord who grew her cartel into one of the most profitable and notorious in the world.
While Sofia has been enthusiastically promoting the series, the family of Griselda Blanco is seeking to block release of the story about the legendary cartel leader.
The family filed a lawsuit over its alleged ‘unauthorized use of their family’s image and likeness.’
Blanco’s only living son Michael filed the lawsuit, TMZ reported. It names Vergara and Netflix as defendants.
The series is set for release on January 25 – but the family has asked a judge for an injunction.
Griselda’s son Michael Corleone Blanco claims he has been doing interviews for years to try and get his and his mother’s life story on paper in the hopes of developing into a production.
Michael claims the interviews took place between 2009 and 2022.
The lawsuit claims that his partners pitched it to Netflix and he was told the streamer was interested – but didn’t have any use for the stories from all the interviews he did.
But now that filming of the series has wrapped and it is almost its release day Michael says the series did use a lot of her stories, anecdotes and material and did not pay him for it.
Michael claims that Netflix essentially stole his family’s story for the plot of the series. Additionally, he is upset over the use of his and his late brothers Uber, Osvaldo and Dixon’s images and likenesses are in the series and they didn’t give Netflix permission for that.
This comes after Michael spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com about his anger and disappointment over the fact Sofia and her team refused his offer to consult on the project.

He labeled the rejection a ‘slap in the face’ – and said they ‘wouldn’t have got away with it’ if his mother was still alive.
Michael also criticized the ‘disrespectful’ decision to transform Sofia’s gorgeous face with facial prosthetics for her portrayal of his famous mother – the first female criminal billionaire who held a reign of terror during Miami’s Cocaine Cowboys drug wars of the 1970s and ’80s.
Sofia previously revealed it took two hours in the makeup chair to transform into Griselda, and Michael made it clear he was furious with the interpretation.
‘My mother was a beautiful woman and it’s crazy that a lot of people say “No, you’ve got to look more like a drug addict”… The fact that they call her “ugly” that really offends me,’ he said.
