Sofia Vergara Shines in Nadine Merabi Dress at AGT Semifinals Episode

Sofía Vergara styled shimmering coords in Nadine Marabi for the semifinals episode of “America’s Got Talent” on Tuesday in Pasadena, Calif.

For the high-energy evening, the “Griselda” star channeled sparkling, shooting stars with her Stella star corset top and coordinated pants by the luxury and ready-to-wear brand. The look, curated by stylist Rhonda Spies, featured a base black velvet fabric with an ornate curation of sequin and beaded embellishments that created a bursting star pattern.

The corseted top featured a sweetheart neckline, while the coordinated pants were designed with a high-waist line and a slightly flared element. Custom tailoring on the look was provided by Laura Basci, who used her expert tailoring services for the look.

Basci, a designer in her own right, previously provided Vergara with her own designs, including a custom couture look with red bugle beads, which the actress wore for a previous “AGT” Season 20 episode. Basci’s tailoring prowess has also been used by Angela Basset and Gigi Hadid, among others.

Merabi, a British-Lebanese fashion designer, is a popular couturier among other celebrities. Tina Knowles wore a sheer coordinated suit by the designer with ornate white embroidery during her “Matriarch” book tour in May. Back in December, Kelly Rowland wore a gold Nadine Merabi jumpsuit for the Critics Choice Association’s annual Celebration of Black Cinema & Television.

For roughly 10 years, Merabi’s designs have centered on women’s luxury and ready-to-wear attire, with design qualities including shimmering and sheer fabrics, fitted feminine silhouettes, tailored iterations on suiting and more.

While she’s acted as cojudge alongside Simon Cowell, Mel B and Howie Mandel, Vergara’s expanded her reach in the beauty and wellness arena. In March, the “Modern Family” alum’s skin care brand Toty, which launched in 2023, partnered with its first in-store retailer Thirteen Lune, which dedicates 90 percent of its shelf space to people of color-founded brands, per WWD’s Beauty Inc.

“I’m excited because our mission and values align in supporting and advocating for powerful black and brown women entrepreneurs,” Vergara told Beauty Inc.

“They believe that inclusivity starts with the ownership and amplifying founders that represent the communities, which is something that I’ve always believed in. And they have goals that we like, like having beauty retail ensuring shelves reflecting the diversity of the beauty consumers — they have so much in common to our business. So, we thought it was perfect.”
