Colombian actress Sofia Vergara, 53, surprised her fans and the entertainment industry by missing the 2025 Emmy Awards ceremony after suffering a severe allergic reaction to her left eye that forced her to go to the emergency room hours before the event.

Vergara, who was scheduled to host one of the awards during the gala held this Sunday, shared the reason for her unexpected absence on social media. “I didn't make it to the Emmys, but I did make it to the ER,” she wrote alongside an image that shows her visibly swollen eye.

The 'Modern Family' and 'Griselda' star apologized to her followers and the event organizers:

“Sorry for canceling. Craziest eye allergy right before getting in the car.” In her posts, she also shared videos in which she is seen lying on a medical stretcher, receiving care while covering her affected eye.

She said the allergic reaction was triggered suddenly on Saturday night, after attending the Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford fight in Las Vegas—an event where she was photographed—and just as she was preparing to leave for the Emmy Awards red carpet.

Her absence was noticeable, not only because of her role as presenter, but also because of her usual glamorous presence on the red carpet.

Sofia Vergara, recognized for her professionalism and charisma, once again demonstrated her closeness to the public by sharing an unexpected and difficult moment with transparency and humor. “The craziest allergy,” as she herself described it, prevented her from shining at the Emmys, but it did not take away the shine from her humanity.
