“Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara sizzled in a corseted black dress that accentuated her curves at the premiere of the movie “New Year’s Eve” held at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California on Monday (December 5)- more pictures below.

The 39 year-old actress, who is a mother to a 19 year-old son, is still amused by the fact she is often compared to younger women and how she has achieved a sex symbol status.

Sofia said, “Of course I love it. I’m nearly 40 years old. I always joke with my publicist and my manager that I’m competing for the best ass with Kim Kardashian and she is 15 years younger than me. She must be so upset thinking: ‘Why am I being compared to that old woman?’ I’m always in these sexiest lists and I’m 20 years older than the others. I love it.”
