The Colombian beauty Sofia Vergara shows plenty of skin in a provocative new spread for the Mexican issue of GQ magazine.

And Vergara, who turns 40 in July, admits she's not shy about showing off her body in a tasteful way - because her figure has helped her achieve mainstream success.

She says, "I'm included in the lists of the best butt or breasts with the likes of Megan Fox (and) Mila Kunis, who are 20 years younger than me. That's a great satisfaction. My career is because of my look and I am not ashamed of it. My look has opened so many doors."
