Can’t really argue with that! The 41-year-old actress caused a frenzy on Dec. 23 when she posted a photo of herself in a thong, but in her defense — she doesn’t have anything to be ashamed of!

If you’ve got it, flaunt it. At least that’s the motto of Sofia Vergara – after setting the world on fire on Dec. 23 by posting a thong-tastic selfie with her fiance, Nick Loeb, the Modern Family actress explained why she bared it all on Instagram.

Sofia Vergara: ‘I Still Look Good!’

Sofia’s explanation behind the “Baby Got Back” pic (see it here) is pretty simple — she liked how her backside looked, so she wanted to show off! “My son took that picture and I’m like, ‘Damn, I still look good!'” the 41-year-old cracked during an interview with Ryan Seacrest.

And though we think Sofia looks good every time she appears on Modern Family, the actress said she needs to capitalize every time she “stumbles” upon a truly steamy pic: “At this age, you don’t take for granted a good picture.”

Sofia Vergara’s Sexy Thong Pic

Sofia’s explanation is perfect, but we would’ve taken pretty much anything — we definitely weren’t complaining when she posted the butt-baring shot on Dec. 23.

Cuddling up to her fiance while on vacation in Mexico, Sofia rocked a skimpy bikini that included a thong bottom. Sofia’s arched back accentuated her curves, gave us a full moon, and made us check her birth certificate for the bajillionth time — there’s no way Sofia’s over 40!

The Modern Family actress is downright stunning, and we’re glad to see she hasn’t lost an ounce of confidence. Though, with a picture like that, how could she?

What do you think of Sofia’s explanation, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!
