Ariel Winter has been an international household name for seven years now.
Thanks to her role as Alex Dunphy on Modern Family and her regular red carpet appearances, it’s easy to forget that in real life she’s still just a teenager attending high school.
Now, the 18-year-old has completed a classic teen rite of passage: the senior prom (that’s the US equivalent of our Year 12 formal). And boy, did she do it in style.
Rather than diligently protecting her privacy, as someone this famous might understandably want to do, Winter ever so kindly shared a handful of pre-prom snaps on Instagram for her fans to pore over.

Ariel looks gorgeous - as do her friends. We didn't have a year 12 formal, we had a graduation ceremony which I think had a dinner thing too - is it bad that I can't really remember? I still have my dress, though. Black, knee length, spaghetti straps, layered skirt. Very 90's (1994).
I still have my dress too. Royal blue velvet off the shoulder pencil. Love that dress.
Black velvet sleeveless column with an emerald green raw silk skirt puffing out at knee level, black tulle underneath to puff it out even more. Long black gloves. Spotted stockings and kitten heel black patent pumps. Short, cropped hair with a side swept fringe, emerald green mascara and eyeliner (to match the dress, of course). It was 1986 and I thought I looked amazing and most importantly different to all the other girls in boring old pink and blue.
That sounds awesome!
Thank you! I definitely thought so, lol!
