Ariel Winter: ‘Sofia Vergara helped me to embrace my curves’

The Modern Family star walked the Emmys red carpet on Sunday in a bedazzling frock that looked very familiar.

The outspoken actress has made headlines this past year thanks to her daring outfit choices, and has been vocal about promoting a positive body image among her fans. “I saw it, tried it on, and I was like, ‘This is what I want to wear, ‘ and that’s that”.

The sexy, backless design also gave us a good look at her new tiger tattoo.

Unlike this year’s SAG Awards, the actress covered up her cleavage in order to go for a more sophisticated look.

But Winter said she isn’t letting the delay deter her from her dream of becoming an attorney. “But then as I got older, I was surrounded by people like Sofia Vergara, and people who were curvier like me and were proud of it”.

Solid blocks of colour and figure-hugging silhouettes were early trends on the carpet, but those who bucked that trend like Hyland and Kristen Bell really stood out amongst the well-heeled crowd.

Ariel Winter was seemingly taking style inspiration from Kylie Jenner when she chose the dress with a diamond-shaped “boob window”. A handful of months after Winter shared her blue lace prom look, Jenner wore a similar creation in the form of a pantsuit to NYFW.

Hyland, 25, arrived at the party in a silver mini dress with a bubble hemline, her blonde lob styled in messy waves, wearing coordinating smoky, silvery eye makeup.
