Karol G asked Sofia Vergara for advice before posing for Playboy.
The 35-year-old Colombian singer - who will become the first Latina star to headline Coachella this month - has posed topless with her hands covering her chest for the iconic publication following its relaunch in 2025, and now she's opened up on why she agreed to the shoot.
She told Playboy magazine: "The only person I asked if I should do it or not was Sofía Vergara. I called her and told her, ‘If you tell me not to do it, I won’t.’
"[She said] ‘Mijita, with that body? When you get to this age, you tell yourself, f***, why didn’t I pose that one time? I should have posed more with a thong! Just one thing: Don’t show your p****!’
"She also said, ‘This moment will have a reason. What is going to be your reason?’”
On a personal level, Karol explained that she simply wanted to embrace the chance to feel "beautiful" and "sexy".
She added: “Why do I want to do this? Because I want to.
"Because I grew up inspired by how beautiful the women in the magazine looked and now I have the opportunity to be that beautiful, sexy, mamasota.”
Karol, who will headline Coachella on April 12 and 19, also opened up on her current relationship status, and why she's happy being single.
She said: “I’m letting go of everything. I’m single and, to be honest, I’ve always thought that my most evolutionary moments come when I’m alone.
"As a good Latina from a traditional family, they teach you to give yourself fully to relationships, to a point where you can even lose yourself…
"I think you have to work a lot on yourself so the relationship can work. You also have to do the work so that you can walk away when you recognise it’s not going to work."
After her last breakup, Karol admitted her outlook started to change.
She added: "I initially felt like, 'Wow, I’m here again'. But then I saw it as, 'Wow, how beautiful that I had the courage to say that I no longer wanted to be there.'”
