Ariel Winter's Sunkissed Bikini Yoga Photos Deemed 'Creepy'

Ariel Winter made front-page news for stunning in a skimpy bikini as she soaked up rays during her 2016 Bahamas vacation. Enjoying the celebrity-adored island in April of that year, the sitcom star dropped jaws with her sizzling curves as she slipped into a white swimsuit, and she even got in a small workout as poolside photos showed her enjoying a yoga stretch. Enjoying time at the Atlantis Bahamas resort before heading out to the beach with then-boyfriend Laurent Gaudette, Ariel was praised by many, however some were finding issue with the photos. At the time, Winter was 18, and it looks like some people think the whole invasive paparazzi thing is "creepy" on a teenager.

Scroll for the photos. Looking sensational, Ariel modeled a classy white bikini with elegant gold chain detailing. The Modern Family star, now 26, was making headlines at the time for having undergone a breast reduction, showing off her smaller chest and hourglass waistline in the sun and looking healthy with a sunkissed tan.

Rocking her signature, fiery-red locks down as she enjoyed an ice-cold beverage by the resort's beach loungers, Ariel caught the eye with her shapely legs and toned tummy, clutching her phone in some photos and putting on a PDA with Laurent as the two held hands while walking in shallow ocean waters. The paparazzi even caught their romantic kiss!

Ariel also hung out with others, with one photo showing her holding one leg as she lifted it up for a yoga stretch. The images, published by The Daily Mail, have now attracted over 400 comments. Trolling Ariel a little, the leading comment gained over 3,000 likes, reading: "Prob shouldn't lift your leg like that while wearing a teeny bottom bikini..."

Over 1,800 users agreed with a comment pointing the finger at the newspaper for photographing a teenager in swimwear. "Bit creepy DM she's only just 18," the user said. "This is a TEENAGER.. She is clearly unaware of the sleazy paparazzi hiding in the bushes taking MULTIPLE intrusive photos. What a disgrace," another wrote.

Many, however, were pleased with the update and they definitely liked what they were seeing. "Wow, she is gorgeous. Honey, you look perfect like an all-natural woman. Flaunt it and don't worry about it! You. Are. Beautiful," one fan said of the former ABC actress. Ariel Winter is best known for playing Alex Dunphy on Modern Family, which ended in April 2020.
