“I’m pretty sure Walmart people won't look the same in this..just sayin.”
“She could wear a potato sack and it would be hot,” quipped another.
A commenter claimed that Vergara had expanded her summer range to a few grocery retailers, saying, “She's done Kmart too... can't wait for her Dollar Tree line.”

Another could not be swayed and said, “Walmart never looked so good.”
The item is one of close to 100 items being sold at Walmart
The star’s partnership with the outlet has been ongoing since February 2019.
At the time, UK outlet Fashion United reported that she had launched at least 100 products, including Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara.
At the time, the items covered the sizes XS to 3XL and 0 to 20, and were all priced under $40.
As a nod to fans’ observations, the outlet reported that Vergara had indeed “sold a fashion and home line through Kmart for four years, ranging across clothing, accessories, swim, shapewear, jewelry, luggage and home products.”

Vergara, at the time, explained her ambitions, saying: “I wanted to create an affordable line and I wanted to create something that was super good quality and that I would wear and I would be happy to see other girls around me wear and be proud of.”
The actress made the news for other reasons on the same day
Vergara headlined for other reasons on July 10.
Bored Panda learned that she had become embroiled in a summer romance with Fox News presenter, Tom Brady, at the same location she posted the photo dump from.

The two were spotted on the Luminara, a Ritz-Carlton superyacht sporting two swimming pools, five restaurants, seven bars, 226 suites, and a spa capable of accommodating 452 guests.
It was also noted that an overnight cruise cost around $11,900, while opting for the upper tier accommodations could set the punter back as much as $78,000.
Social media had words for this sighting, too.
Tom Brady was also dragged into the spotlight
“Oh here we go again Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara are totally not dating, they’re just two rich, surgically polished celebrities, ‘having fun’ on a trip together,” wrote one critic, underwhelmed by the furore.

The attention attracted by the two getting together was concentrated on Brady too, when one netizen referred to his dating record:
“Why do I get the feeling that he thinks he is the hottest thing out there since dating Giselle?”

And as a stab at Vergara’s mother tongue, one fan quipped:
“[Brady] spent his entire married life trying to figure out what his wife (Brazilian fashion model, Gisele Bündchen) was saying. He’s not doing that again!”
One netizen feels that "not every single thing" Vergara does needs to be posted online
