Ariel Winter Criticized In Leather Minidress That Looks 'Cheap'

Ariel Winter opted for an edgy leather look as she joined Modern Family costar Sarah Hyland on the red carpet in 2019, but not everyone was digging her fashion choice. Showing off the 30 pounds she'd reportedly just dropped, the sitcom star sizzled in a black leather minidress at Entertainment Weekly's Pre-Emmys bash, held at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood, CA. Choosing an unusual look and going hell for leather, Ariel sizzled in her leggy number, one she paired with high heels for extra effect, although for some, she failed to produce a positive one.

Scroll for the photo. Going skintight and thigh-skimming, Ariel wowed in a long-sleeved dress that hugged her every curve. Ditching her usual glitter or satin fabrics for leather, the 26-year-old also turned heads with her off-the-shoulder sleeves, flaunting her slimmed-down arms and waistline, alongside her toned legs. Adding a black pair of high-heeled court shoes, Ariel coordinated her footwear to her dress, accessorizing it with silvery diamond earrings to match the rings on her fingers.

All smiles as she placed one hand to her waist for a posed photo, Ariel showed off her gorgeous features with a semi-up-do, wearing raven-colored locks as she also ditched her signature red hair. Meanwhile, Love Island face Sarah Hyland opted for old-school Hollywood glam in a slinky, velour robe with a thigh slit. Fans didn't hold back as The Daily Mailshared the photos.

"I have never seen so much bad taste in one space," one user wrote. Shaming Ariel, another said: "Ariel never seems to dress her body well always emphasizing the least attractive parts." One fan even likened Ariel's look to a "cheap dominatrix" one.

Once again making hair headlines as she went full Marilyn Monroe, Ariel wound up a talking point for her 2020 lockdown snaps, ones shared on her Instagram. Stunning as she debuted her fluffy blonde locks while in a strappy top and jeans, the stunner flaunted her gorgeous good looks and her sense of humor, with a caption reading: "Winter is coming!!!!" Here, the actress had referenced both her last name and the HBO series Game of Thrones.

One year later, Ariel joined TikTok, sharing the above Instagram photo to announce the news. Stunning in a plunging satin shirt dress as she showed off her red lips and nails, Ariel wrote: "Hiiiiiiiiiii I joined #TikTok my username is @arielwinter  link in bio  what are your favorite videos to watch because I’m a newb and need suggestions !!!!" Ariel's fanbase remains the highest on Instagram, where she is followed by 5 million.
