The 'Modern Family' actress, who was previously married to her high-school sweetheart Joe Gonzalez for three years until 1993, plans "to look sexy" when she walks down the aisle for the second time in Miami in November.

She said: "Personally, I know that I don't like the natural look that some brides do. I'm 43, I don't really need to look like a virgin getting married. I want to look sexy. I want to look great. I want to look good and [wear] something that I know is going to look good in pictures. I know I'm going to do something that will make me feel pretty and well put together, like a bold lip, and this foundation."

The Colombian star has yet to receive her custom-made wedding dress from a top-secret designer, but insists it won't be traditional either.

She told PEOPLE.com: "I already got married before. I don't think I'm going to do a veil. I think I'm passed that virgin look."

While she is keeping most of the details about her big day a secret, Sofia revealed she won't be wearing her hair up.

She explained: "I think women once they hit 40, they shouldn't put there hair up again until their 60. I think in your 20s and 30s if you put it up you look great, once you're 40 you age yourself putting your hair up, and then 60 you're already old, so you really need to look well put together, so just put it up."
