Sofía Vergara Celebrates Her 51st Birthday in a Lacy White Swimsuit Worn 2 Ways

Versatility is everything when it comes to a solid vacation wardrobe, and Sofía Vergara has clearly mastered what it means to pack for a summer getaway. On July 10, she celebrated her 51st birthday in Italy while wearing a one-shoulder swimsuit adorned with lacy white cutouts. "What a bday day!!!" Vergara captioned photos of herself wearing the suit on Instagram. The piece, designed by OYE Swimwear, featured an asymmetrical design that created the illusion of a bandeau bikini.

Up close, the swimsuit consisted of a high-waisted white panel that hit just above her midriff. The bodice featured a mesh material with an abstract ripple design that mimicked waves crashing on the beach. An even closer peek at the piece revealed a smiley face embroidered in the fabric near Vergara's shoulder. The back of the swimsuit mirrored the front, boasting clever patterns that made the final look romantic and classy.

In photos shared on her Instagram account, Vergara rode a boat out to sea in the swimsuit and soaked up the sun. While the suit's tan lines might be unique, they're absolutely worth it for a look this stunning. Of course, it's not the only gorgeous outfit in her vacation bag — last week, the star went topless while wearing a black thongkini and lounging by the pool.

Later in the day, the versatile swimsuit doubled as a breezy summer top when Vergara layered it underneath a pair of white palazzo pants. In addition to saving space in her suitcase, the adaptable look served as a reminder that the way you style your swimwear can be a game changer. She paired the outfit with stacked bangles, a chunky gold chain-link necklace, sunglasses, and platform sandals.

While almost full coverage, Vergara's one-piece swimsuit would make a flirty addition to any summer wardrobe. Take a closer look at her birthday ensemble above, and check out more of our favorite swimsuits for all body types here.
