Another day, another daring trend for Sofía Vergara. After dancing in a sheer corset at the Karol G concert a few days prior, the actor stepped out for an Aug. 22 taping of “America’s Got Talent” in another standout look. While her outfit combination of a white linen button-down and ripped straight-leg jeans isn’t quite noteworthy at first glance, she paired the casual ensemble with towering translucent platform heels.
Vergara took photos with fans, walked down the street, and at one point, even skipped down the sidewalk in her footwear, all with an effortless ease. Her PVC sandals from Amina Muaddi come with a 5.5-inch heel, and to make things even more impressive, they’re mules, which means they have no strap support. It was as if she was wearing a pair of comfortable sneakers. She further accessorized with black cat-eye sunglasses from YSL, a green Dior tote, and gold earrings.
The clear-shoe trend has become so popular we’ve dubbed the style “Barbie-foot heels,” putting a name to translucent sandals or pumps that give the illusion of permanently arched soles instead of a shoe, similar to a Barbie doll. Vergara, Jennifer Lopez, and Hailey Bieber are just a few of the stars who’ve experimented with the bold footwear.
For the “America’s Got Talent” filming itself, Vergara changed into a yellow minidress lined with feathers, alongside fellow judge Heidi Klum, who wore a plunging red dress with chest cutouts.
