TV legend’s nepo relative is her spitting image during glitzy Miami event

The nepo relative of a television icon was her spitting image while attending a glitzy event in Miami on Thursday.

Claudia Vergara, 32 – the niece of Modern Family alum Sofia Vergara – proudly represented the actress’s Toty suncare line during Sтιтch Lab Miami 2025.

Back in 2023, the America’s Got Talent judge launched the brand to ‘redefine suncare to provide an easy system to protect and correct against sun-aging caused by sun damage to achieve your healthiest and most gorgeous skin,’ per the website.

Claudia flashed a cheerful smile while posing at the Toty pop-up amid the festivities which took place at the Miami Design District.

The media personality donned a strapless, white corset top as well as a denim skirt that contained a slit on the front.

She slipped into a pair of closed-toed, gold heels and allowed her locks to flow down naturally past her shoulders.

At one point, she also stopped to take a quick pH๏τo with Sтιтch Lab founder Karina Rosendo who opted for a stylish white dress.

The festivities officially opened to the public on Friday and will come to a close later this weekend on Sunday, April 6. 

Sтιтch Lab ‘brings together over 40 of the most exciting Latin American designers, all in one place,’ per an official description.  

Toty was just one of the many brands represented at the event this week thus far, which Sofia founded in June 2023 in collaboration with Spain-based pharmaceutical company Cantabria Labs. 

On the Toty website, Vergara explained that she created the line with Cantabria Labs which is ‘a leading European pharmaceutical company with more than 30 years of track record based in Spain. 

‘They’re experts in dermatology and sun-aging innovation. I have trust their products for more than 15 years,’ the Griselda actress added.

Some products that are offered from Toty include the creamy compact foundation with SPF 50+ which is priced at $56. 

Reversa Retinol ($89) as well as Ilumina Mineral Glow SPF 50+ ($44) and Solaria Body SPF 50 ($38) are also available to consumers on the official website. 

During a past interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Vergara opened up about the importance of suncare. 

‘I grew up in very tropical weather in Barranquilla, Colombia, and there was no one ever telling you, “Don’t get sunburn” or “Don’t tan.”‘ 

Sofia added, ‘I wish I had made that decision sooner also for the rest of my body, but I didn’t. I just thought to save my face, and that was it. So, I haven’t had my face in the sun without protection since the ’90s.’ 

The name of the line, Toty, is also based off of a nickname that Vergara had while growing up. 

‘In Latin America, everybody has a nickname, and so that was mine. It came from my brother who was two years older than me.’

She continued, ‘They used to call me Sofi, and he couldn’t say Sofi, so he would say Toty. Only the people from Barranquilla call me like that, so if you say Toty and I turn around, I’m always thinking I’m going to see someone from Barranquilla.’

Sofia’s niece Claudia is the daughter of her late brother Rafael – who was murdered in the late 90s during a kidnapping attempt in Columbia. 

While talking to Variety last year, the actress reflected on his shock pᴀssing and expressed, ‘It destroyed my family.’ 

Vergara continued, ‘It destroyed my mom. It changed our lives completely. We didn’t know what was happening, why he had been killed.’

After the tragic incident, the actress and some of her family members moved to the United States. ‘It was hard, because I had to take responsibility for my whole family,’ the star recalled. 

And during a past interview with Parade, Sofia candidly told the outlet, ‘My older brother, Rafael, was killed in Colombia. A nightmare.’ 

She added that her mother ‘was like a zombie. I wanted to be with them, so I got a big house [in Miami, Florida] and we all lived together. I am so grateful to be in this country.

‘With so many bad things happening, it creates a tough skin. You just have to take a deep breath and keep on going – if not for yourself, then for everybody you love.’ 

Both Sofia and Claudia have appeared in pH๏τos together on social media over the years and back in 2019, the pair revealed that they also share each other’s clothing, per Us Weekly.

‘We share clothes all the time, all the time. Anything from the waist down, for sure. From the waist up, I don’t have the boobs for it,’ Claudia humorously said at the time.

‘I borrow everything from her except shoes because she’s 5’9″, so it’s the one thing I can’t steal, but purses and jackets for sure. We’re also the same size in denim, so that too.’ 

In regards to fashion advice from the actress, Claudia added that Sofia ‘is always like, “Just wear whatever you want and don’t follow just what’s on trend. It needs to look good on you.”‘ 

The media influencer gushed about the ‘amazing’ actress ‘because she did everything by herself…She’s a busy woman and a very empowered woman. She doesn’t need anyone and I love that about her…’
