WITH Joe Manganiello MIA at the Emmys, Sofia Vergara wanted to show her boyfriend what he was missing, posting a shot to Instagram featuring her famous backside in full view.

Vergara captioned the below pic: “Where are you BigBy?” (We think she meant Big Boy. Possibly.)

The Modern Family stunner posted plenty of party pics throughout the night, usually with a wine in hand.

Vergara, it seems, was also in need of a dance partner at an after party, roping in US Dancing With The Stars pro Derek Hough to twirl her around the dancefloor.

But Vergara wasn’t the only star to go solo at the event. Her Modern Family co-star, Sarah Hyland, confirmed her split from boyfriend of five years, Matt Prokop, this week and seemed to be having the time of her life at the after party.

Vergara posted this picture of newly-single co-star Sarah Hyland with her son.

Justin Theroux turned up to HBO’s afterparty sans Jennifer Aniston, but apparently had a good time anyway, getting down with Best Actress in a Drama-winner Julianna Margulies and American Horror Story’s Sarah Paulson.

(Party onlookers also reported that Theroux almost got taken out by Lena Dunham’s huge Giambattista Valli ensemble, adding the actor “needed to back out of the way because the train was so massive”.)

Big win ... Emmy winner Jessica Lange and American Horror Story co-star Sarah Paulson party.

Liev Schreiber, who presented an award at the show, also partied long into the night without his long-time flame, Naomi Watts.

Paula Patton, who split with husband Robin Thicke earlier this year, apparently had a great old time without him.

Stepping out in a sheer dress, it was the first time the 38-year-old actress had been publicly seen since Thicke released his album Paula, which was dedicated to her.

Paula Patton arrived in this sexy, black dress at HBO's Post Emmy Awards reception.

Lena Dunham and her Girls co-star Allison Williams took some time out from the dancefloor, flopping on the couch together in their full length tulle Giambattista Valli Couture gowns.

Meanwhile, Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus shared this pic of herself via Vogue magazine’s Twitter account the morning after her big win. Loving the caption.
