Despite not earning an Emmy nomination this year, Sofia Vergara still managed to take home one award… the Best-Dressed Latina on the Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet.

The 42-year-old Colombian actress and Modern Family star, a presenter during Monday night’s awards show at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater L.A. Live, looked white haute on the red carpet in a body-hugging and curve-flaunting gown.

The white strapless mermaid Roberto Cavalli dress with silver detailing not only put Vergara’s ample cleavage on full display, but it perfectly showed off her toned figure.

But Vergara wasn’t the only Latina to don white on the red carpet…

Camila Alves played a little game of peek-a-boo at the Emmys.

The 32-year-old Brazilian model and fashionista dazzled on the red carpet while escorting her Emmy-nominated husband Matthew McConaughey.

Alves dazzled in an oh-so-revealing white Zuhair Murad dress from the designer’s Resort 2015 Ready-to-Wear Collection. The gown featured a mosaic pattern and bateau neckline, with all-over sheer detailing and a skinny white belt.

She accessorized the geometric dress with Neil Lane jewelry and Brian Atwood shoes.
