Pared-back, no ornament trees may be trending with some celebrities, but Sofía Vergara's metallic tree tempts us back to maximalism

Over the last two years, I've observed a strong theme of minimalism in the way many celebrities have decorated. 'Nearly naked,' no ornament trees have shaped the way some of the world's most famous people decorate for the holidays – and I admit, I see the appeal behind this modest ideology.

However, I can't help but return to one of my all-time favorite trees to make a case for a more indulgent arrangement. It comes courtesy of Sofía Vergara.

While more minimalist Christmas decor can feel uber chic in a world that's constantly chasing trends, there's something to be said for Sofia's rich display.

Her gold and champagne colored ornaments (like these from Amazon) pair beautifully with her white tree, which – despite not being overly traditional – is the perfect, neutral base that allows her metallic ornaments to shine.

Whether you're a minimalist or a maximalist, it's hard to deny that Sofía's Christmas tree is worthy of celebration. Six years after she first shared it with the world, it looks just as stunning, and I'm sure it will continue to do so for another six years into the future.
