‘Modern Family’ Star Ariel Winter Rocks Sexy ‘Santa Baby’ Costume On Instagram

“Modern Family” star Ariel Winter recently showed off her curves in a red, sequined female Santa costume.

On her Instagram account, the 18-year-old shared a snap of herself wearing a short skirt and a corset that accentuated her chest. The actress’ arms are covered in a long-sleeved cropped cardigan. She is also wearing a long blonde wig in the snap.

Winter’s photo is very timely since Christmas is right around the corner. However, the actress didn’t say whether or not the photograph was taken from a recent magazine interview for the holidays.

Last week, Winter announced that she is featured in Elle USA’s December issue. In her interview, the young actress shared one of her secrets to being confident. According to her, she doesn’t pay attention to what other people think and say about her. “I don’t care how people feel about the choices I make. I hope everybody is supportive and likes the things I do and say, but I’m not concerned about it. That’s the way I feel like everybody should be,” she said.

Meanwhile, the actress previously admitted to getting breast reduction surgery. When she was 11 years old, Winter wished to have bigger boobs and butt. However, when she underwent puberty, the growth just never stopped, and it turned her into a curvy teenager.

Despite the criticism she has received over her body shape and weight, the actress has maintained a positive outlook in life. “We need to challenge and change the way we talk about each other online, and understand it has a huge impact on girls’ confidence. Let’s transform social media into a place where girls feel supported and empowered. Isn’t it time we stopped this negativity?” she said.

Winter plays the role of Alex Dunphy in “Modern Family.” She has been part of the show since it premiered on ABC on Sept. 23, 2009.
