Ariel Winter shares ‘pre-quarantine’ snaps posing in pigtails and a plunging skirt suit

Modern Family’s Ariel Winter flaunted her trim physique in a series of throwback snaps posing in a plunging cream skirt suit on Tuesday.  

The flame-haired bombshell modeled a plunging white top, as she playfully pulled her mermaid-like tresses in front of a purple backdrop. 

The 22-year-old star, who also voices Sofia The First for Disney, reminisced on a ‘pre-quarantine’ shoot with StyleCaster, which was first released four weeks ago. 

While her skin-tight ensemble put her toned legs on full display, all eyes were on Winter’s freshly dyed strawberry blonde hair. 

‘I’m not going to have dark hair again unless somebody pays me to have dark hair again,’ she joked to the outlet, after 11 years of playing Alex Dunphy on the hit ABC sitcom, which concluded last month. 

The natural blonde got cheeky with her latest Instagram caption by referencing a behind-the-scenes picture of herself in a grey hoodie, black leggings and sneakers.  

‘Swipe to the end to see me post shoot holding up the paper towel I planned on using to open the door because germs,’ she wrote with an angry face emoji. 

Unlike the other ultra-glamorous shots of herself smirking on the the floor with her fingers in her hair, the petite beauty took a mirror selfie in a bathroom in New York City. 

Despite her casual attire, she was still full fully made-up and posed cheerfully in front of the dirty mirror. 

During the candid interview, she also opened up about going on antidepressants, body-shaming and her mental health. 

‘I have to change my hair. I can’t wear this makeup. That dress was so ugly. I can’t believe I wore that,’ she recalls thinking after an onslaught of criticism from hitting puberty. 

She added: ‘Therapy is literally one of my favorite parts of my week. I’m a huge therapy advocate.’ 

The star, who was 10 when her hit series debuted, previously confessed that it’s difficult ‘for any child actor to grow up on TV in front of millions of people because millions of people then think they know you and they think they know you really well and think they can comment on everything you wear or everything you do or how you grow and change.’ 

Ariel admitted that she ‘especially hated’ the year she got braces. 

‘I’m an adult now and I’m starting again in my career,’ she told StyleCaster of her future endeavors. ‘It’s exciting, but it’s also scary. The unknown is scary. It’s like closing a chapter and opening a new one.’
