Sofía Vergara Misses Emmy Awards Due to Emergency Room Visit

Originally set to dazzle on the 2025 Emmy Awards red carpet, Sofía Vergara found herself in a hospital emergency room instead. The Colombian actress had to cancel her appearance at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles due to a severe allergic reaction in her left eye, which forced her to make a last-minute change of plans. "I didn't make it to the Emmys, but I did make it to the ER!" the "Modern Family" star humorously shared on Instagram, posting photos of herself visibly affected, lying on a hospital bed and trying to soothe the swelling. "The craziest allergy hit right before getting into the car!" she added with a mix of resignation and humor.

At 53, Vergara was scheduled to present one of the gala's most anticipated awards. Her absence was swiftly covered by actresses Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow. Despite the scare, Vergara kept her spirits high and received an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities. Emilio Estefan, for instance, commented, "Take care of yourself. We love you so much!"

The pictures shared by Vergara depict a stark contrast: from her flawless gala-ready makeup to emergency jeans and an eye wash at the clinic. Her post quickly garnered over half a million likes and sparked hundreds of reactions, including one from her friend Heidi Klum, who expressed her shock: "What the heck!?"

Sofía hasn't disclosed details about the treatment she received, but it appears to have been an acute allergic reaction that kept her from one of television's most significant nights. Fortunately, she is on the mend, continuing to candidly share the ups and downs of her daily life.

Meanwhile, the 77th edition of the Emmys went on as planned. "The Studio" swept the comedy categories, "The Pitt" earned accolades in drama, and "Adolescence" shined among miniseries. Vergara's absence was one of the night's most talked-about topics, underscoring her enduring popularity even when she's not present.
