Sofia Vergara Plays A Scruffy And Unkempt Gloria In Season 6 Premiere Of 'Modern Family'

Season 6 of "Modern Family" has just kicked off with the episode entitled "The Long Honeymoon" and the Emmy Award winning series is gunning for a sixth successful award this season. The premiere episode featured the events that occurred three months after the Season 5 finale where Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron Tucker got married. The newlyweds are back from their honeymoon and readjusting to their new life but they are not the only ones who have to deal with the end of the honeymoon stage as Jay Pritchett and Gloria Delgado face some marital issues of their own.

At the Delgado-Pritchett household, Jay shows off a pair of oversized specs to Gloria who is appalled by them. She says that her husband may be older but he's not an older man. It seems to her that Jay has stopped caring about his appearance and he has already stopped making an effort to look good.

Jay couldn't care less and just goes about his business while Gloria reverts to sneaky measures to push Jay in the right direction. She takes his old clothes and the unfashionable ones and ships them off to her family in Colombia. Jay comes home one day and complains that he's just picked up his clothes from the laundry shop and they have lost yet another one of his Hawaiian shirts. When Gloria's relatives say hello from a video call on her iPad, Jay notices one of them wearing one of his missing Hawaiian shirts. Gloria tries to wheedle out of it by saying that it's hardly a unique shirt but Jay points out a burn he made on the shirt and also notices a tracksuit one of her other relatives is wearing that has his University insignia printed on it. He confronts Gloria about the missing clothes and she explains that it's only really the old ones that she sends out. She is then forced to admit that she feel like her husband is no longer making an effort to look good for her. She says that she's always making an effort for him and he should at least make an effort to reciprocate.

Jay tells her that she's really getting dressed for herself and not for him. He also says that he will love her anyway even if she didn't get dolled up like that every day. Gloria accepts what he said but the following day, she and Jay are due to go out and meet with one of his important clients. She comes out and declares that she's ready to go while her hair is up in a messy bun. She's also wearing an oversized grey shirt paired with track pants. Jay is shocked and talks about their plans. Gloria apologises and then puts on some lipstick in a haphazard manner leaving it smudged around her lips she then pulls Jay outside stating she's now ready to go.

As the two were walking outside, Jay concedes and tells Gloria that she's won. He admits that he does care about how she looks and how well she dresses and that he should continue to make an effort for himself. They decide to cancel the appointment and return home.

Back at their house, the entire family is there to surprise Gloria for her upcoming birthday and she is horrified that she looked unkempt. She steps out and immediately comes back in looking like the usual sexy and well-groomed Gloria and Jay is shocked that she could get ready so quickly. She reveals she had the outfit on underneath the tacky clothes all along. In the end, she made her point and Jay will have to pay more attention to his own looks in the future.
