There were a lot of brilliant celebrity costumes for Halloween 2012, but one costume that really took the cake was Ellen DeGeneres as Sofia Vergara.
Ellen wore the same dress that the Colombian Modern Family actress was photographed in on the Red Carpet for the Emmys. The hilarious TV show host even wore a suit to make exaggerated curves that echoed Sofia Vergara's body and filled out the sparkling blue dress. Ellen even added a slit in the dress to reveal a very shapely tush, reliving an old tweet by Vergara.
From Cover Girl commercials to her daytime television show, Ellen DeGeneres never tires of playfully teasing the actress, mimicking her accent whenever she can. Therefore, the Ellen DeGeneres as Sofia Vergara Halloween costume was not a huge surprise, but it was a hilarious success.
