Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Thanks to Eva Longoria and Sofía Vergara, I’m no longer stressing about how to look effortlessly polished at upcoming holiday events. That’s because, when the friend duo recently attended an intimate holiday party together, they blessed me with two monochromatic outfit formulas.
Longoria opted for a relaxed ensemble of ivory with an oversized crewneck sweater, wide-leg pants, and pointed-toe heels. Vergara leaned into a dressier all-black vision with a sheer mock-neck top, leather midi skirt, and pointed-toe heels.
Mix and match the similar styles I found at Nordstrom to create the ultimate monochromatic look this holiday season. Prices start at $24.
Sofía Vergara’s Outfit Blueprint
Mock-Neck Top
Midi Skirt
Pointed-Toe Heels
Marcella Sheer-Panel Turtleneck Top
This top embodies the eye-catching design of Vergara’s mock-neck, but with a more modest silhouette. The chest and torso utilize an opaque material, while the sleeves and décolletage still offer some sheerness. The length of the top also allows you to play with tucking or layering.
Alexia Admor Isla Vegan Leather Skirt
The idea of a leather skirt may sound entirely too adventurous, but Vergara just reminded me that length plays a huge part in this misconception. With a below-the-knee length, a leather skirt can deliver warmth and comfort. This Alexia Admor version is a solid option with its fitted waist, side slit, and pleats.
Linea Paolo Corley Pointed-Toe Slingback Pump
Vergara appears to have been wearing some extra-tall pointed heels. That being said, you can mimic her look at a (perhaps) safer height with these slingback kitten heels instead. These caught my eye because of the added geometric cut-outs along the sides, cushioned footbed, and slip-resistant sole.
Your Sofía Vergara-inspired holiday look is within reach. Shop below for more close matches to her top, skirt, and heels, including a $30 mock turtleneck by Lands’ End and discounted midi skirt with back pockets. Then, keep scrolling to explore Eva Longoria’s monochromatic ensemble.

Eva Longoria’s Outfit Blueprint
Crewneck Sweater
Wide-Leg Pants
Pointed-Toe Heels
Reformation Striped Cashmere Sweater
A cashmere sweater is a staple of any well-rounded winter wardrobe. This Reformation option strikes a similar chord to Longoria’s with its crewneck design and oversized silhouette. The drop-shoulder construction also adds a casual-cool element to the sweater.
I would recommend layering an off-white T-shirt or button-up shirt underneath, as it appears to be slightly sheer.
Mango Pleated Pants
In line with Longoria’s vision, these pleated pants have a wide-leg silhouette and relaxed aesthetic. I enjoy that the subtle texture adds visual appeal to these pants. Plus, there’s an elastic waistband that provides ease of movement and allows for easy tucking in, should you have a matching sweater.
Johnston & Murphy Vicki Slingback Pump
Peeking out from Longoria’s pants, I spotted the tip of a pointed-toe heel. These slingback pumps help you mimic her look, but thanks to the block heel, your feet won’t suffer along the way. The cushioned foot bed and adjustable slingback strap make this a comfortable footwear choice.
Below, you’ll find more Eva Longoria-inspired sweaters, pants, and heels, including a cashmere sweater for under $100 and an ultra-secure pair of Mary Jane kitten heels.
