‘Actually done’: Ariel looks GORGE as she graduates from High School

Jun 14, 2016

Modern Family star, Ariel Winters is a high school graduate!

The actress graduated yesterday from private school, Campbell Hall, and she looked as mature and elegant as always at the ceremony.

Ariel's graduation was held at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, and she wore a soft pink dress, which hugged her figure in the perfect way, and dyed her hair bright red for the occasion – really accentuating her individual style.

It's actually done…I GRADUATED

She was seen leaving the venue wearing a blue and yellow robe, as well as holding a yellow rose.

In April, the young starlet revealed that she's heading to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to study in September.

She said, "The college process was so long and just really, really insane. But at the end of the day, I'm so happy with UCLA."

But fear not, it won't be the end of acting for her as she's going to continue to star on the silver screen throughout her college life.

Congrats, Ariel!

Ariel goes on Ellen… and admits she STILL isn’t speaking to her mother

She’s only 18 – but actress Ariel Winter has had to do a lot of growing up in the spotlight.

And as if that wasn’t challenging enough, she’s also STILL not on speaking terms with her mother.

"It has been very sad for me, but at the same time it's been much better for me emotionally and physically to be on my own and have a better, safer household and support system," Ms Winter explained on yesterday’s Elle DeGeneres Show.

The Modern Family star lived with her 37-year-old sister Shanelle Gray until from the age of 14 – only recently moving out when she turned 18 earlier this year.

And speaking about her elder sibling, Ariel also gushed: "She's been the best part of my life. She really is my best friend. She's the most important thing to me."

She added: "She's been there for me through absolutely everything. And I just love her so much. I count on her more than anything."

The women’s mother, Chrisoula Workman, has been accused of emotionally and physically abusing her daughters – something that Ms Workman denies.

Indeed, their brother Jimmy Workman (also an actor – he played Pugsley in The Adams Family movies) has publicly defended their mother.

Ariel Winters has THIS to say to the people hating on her surgery scars

Ariel Winter wore a gorgeous strapless gown at the SAG Awards this week and she looked beautiful, fierce and, perhaps most importantly, body confident.

None-the-less, she started to get flack over her visible scars from a breast reduction she received last year.

But don't worry, she had the perfect response.

Guys there is a reason I didn't make an effort to cover up my scars! They are part of me and I'm not ashamed of them at all. 🙂

She's had a pretty tough year having broken up with her long-term boyfriend as well becoming emancipated and in the midst of all this she also decided to have a breast reduction.

The Modern Family star has said that the decision was an easy one as her size 34F breasts made her very uncomfortable in the public light.

"Being a 5-ft.-tall girl and having extremely large breasts is really ostracising and excruciatingly painful," she has told People magazine this week.

The actress reduced her bust size from a very large F to a more comfortable D.

Embrace all that you are… Scars & everything. Your imperfections make you perfectly you #loveyourself

She also shared this inspirational quote by Marc Jacobs earlier today as she fills her social media with positivity.

"It was an instant weight lifted off my chest – both literally and figuratively.

"There's a confidence you find when you finally feel right in your body."

Three cheers for Ariel Winter!

She's had a pretty tough year having broken up with her long-term boyfriend as well becoming emancipated and in the midst of all this she also decided to have a breast reduction.

The Modern Family star has said that the decision was an easy one as her size 34F breasts made her very uncomfortable in the public light.

"Being a 5-ft.-tall girl and having extremely large breasts is really ostracising and excruciatingly painful," she has told People magazine this week.

The actress reduced her bust size from a very large F to a more comfortable D.

"It was an instant weight lifted off my chest – both literally and figuratively.

"There's a confidence you find when you finally feel right in your body."

She admitted that she was often left feeling hurt when she was criticised for her clothes choices on red carpets.

"I'd just be wearing something anyone else could wear, but I'd read comments saying, 'She dresses inappropriately.' "

However, she doesn't reckon she will be rushing into any more cosmetic surgeries in the future.

"I think it will be the only [cosmetic surgery] I'll have done, but I'm extremely happy with the decision I made.

"It's important to talk about it because there are young girls suffering like I did, but there shouldn't be a stigma about it."

Well said, Ariel. Oh and we think she looks great.

She’s offically single! Modern Family actress splits with boyfriend

Dec 8, 2015

If you are to follow the trail of breadcrumbs being left by Ariel Winter via her Instagram page, it is pretty apparent that she has called it quits with her long term boyfriend, Laurent Gaudette.

Ariel and Laurent have been dating for two years having met at the Teen Young Hollywood Event when the Modern Family star was just sixteen.

The 18-year-old has been teasing us with cryptic Instagram posts for about a week now but yesterday confirmed that she is officially a single lady and is super happy about it.

Love doesn't die, it simply evolves. We grow up, we realize what we truly want. I'm excited for this new chapter in my love life- love is all around.. Family, friends, pizza… The old and the new

You go, girl.

We are already pretty fond of Ariel who has stood up to her own critics in the past but now she is inspiring us with a bunch of positive break up messages.

Considering we want to just delete and block our exes on all forms of social media, we feel like Ariel is perhaps more mature than us.

And it seems she is already talking about dates, albeit in a jokey way.

This is why I don't do blind dates. I need new wingmen

Ariel has spoken in the past about how she and Laurent met.

"It was kind of like I saw him, and I was like, 'I would like to get to know him.' And I did! I’m very outgoing, so I kind of initiated the, ‘Hi, I’m here! It’s nice to meet you," the pretty actress told US Weekly.

"It’s so awesome to be in love with somebody who’s so supportive and wonderful and just somebody who’s also your best friend."

Nawh.

We hope the break up wasn't too hard on her.

Ariel Winter hit back at Instagram body shamers in the BEST way

Nov 16, 2015

Don't mess with Ariel Winter, especially when it comes to her body image.

The 17-year-old actress hit back hard at her critics this week, after an innocent holiday snap she shared to Instagram caused some controversy.

#mynieces #lovethem #fbf

Ariel's photo, which showed her smiling on a boat with her two young nieces, didn't go down well with some commenters who said her bikini was too "provocative" and made it look like she was "asking for it."

The Modern Family star, who recently underwent a breast reduction after years of feeling insecure about her body, soon took to social media with a no-holds-barred response.

"Who knew that an innocent photo with my nieces would turn into this?" she wrote next to a photo of a woman's leg marked with words like "slut" and "prudish" to highlight the issue.

"The height of a girl's skirt or whatever she is wearing for that matter, does not imply what she is asking for.

"It sickens me to think at 17 years old, a photo of myself with my nieces is suggesting that I'm 'asking for it.'"

Continuing, Ariel added that she usually never paid heed to negative comments online but she felt body-shaming needed to be addressed,

"I typically never give power to the mean things people bravely say behind their computer screens on the Internet, but this is for the girls who are constantly bullied whether it be online or at school."

Just last week, Ariel showed her support to Ariana Grande after the singer posted a similar message online.

Referencing an Instagram comment which compared Ariel's curves to Ariana's "stick"-like figure, both young stars made it clear they were not okay with pitting women against each other.

"I believe in EMPOWERING other women and not putting them down," Ariel wrote in support of the Problem singer.

We're loving their positive attitude.

‘Not okay’: DON’T compare Ariana Grande to this Modern Family star

Don't get on Ariana Grande's bad side… or Ariel Winter's for that matter.

The pair unexpectedly teamed up on Instagram yesterday to shut down commenters who were pitting them against each other.

Ariana's anger was initially sparked by a comment on her own Instagram account from a follower calling her a "sexy stick" and saying he'd choose Ariel Winter over her.

The Problem singer soon hit back with her own criticism, lashing out at the user for "body shaming" and accusing him or her of "objectifying" women.

"We live in a day and age where people make it IMPOSSIBLE for women, men, anyone to embrace themselves exactly how they are," she wrote.

"Diversity is sexy! Loving yourself is sexy! You know what is NOT sexy? Misogyny, objectifying, labeling, comparing and body shaming!!!"

It wasn't long before Ariel herself spotted the message, and made it clear she totally agreed with Ariana's stance.

"I love the message you're putting out there," wrote the actress, who recently underwent a breast reduction to help combat her own body image issues.

"I especially believe in today's world we all need to stick together I believe in EMPOWERING other women and not putting them down… You ARE beautiful."

This is not the first time Ariana has taken it upon herself to show her online haters what's what. A few months back she delivered an epic shut-down for one commenter who dared to criticise the size of her boobs:

Amazing.

So, Ariel Winter looks AH-MAZ-ING in her revealing bodycon number

She's clearly rocking a whole load of new-found confidence since having breast reduction surgery in June.

And when Ariel Winter attended a chic wedding over the weekend – she looked positively out of this world.

Wearing a low-cut bandage-style dress, the 17-year-old actress posed up alongside her music producer beau, Laurent Claude Gaudette, 18, who also looked dapper in a dark suit.

The Modern Family star teamed the pale-coloured number with sparkling peep-toe stiletto pumps.

The snap, which was posted this evening, has already notched up close-to 40,000 likes of approval from fans.

In the September edition of Glamour, Ariel opened up about her decision to go under the knife in order to reduce the size of her breasts.

She explained that at age 15 her body seemed to change “overnight” and that she suffered from significant discomfort and pain in the aftermath.

“I really couldn’t stand up straight for a long period of time," Ms Winter stated.

"My neck was hurting so bad and I actually had some problems with my spine."

At just 5ft 1in tall she had a size 32F chest. Now post-op, her breasts are a more manageable 34D.

Ariel Winter emerges after having her breasts reduced to a D-cup

Earlier this summer, she had her breasts reduced from an F-cup to a more manageable D-cup, and Ariel Winter certainly looked a lot more confident emerging for the first time since the procedure.

The 17-year-old actress had been suffering from years of back and neck pain prior to the surgery, which took place in early June.

Wearing a green playsuit, she attended D23 EXPO, a Disney fan event, in California on Saturday to promote her animated TV series Sofia The First.

Ariel is best-known for her role on Modern Family, where she plays teenager Alex Dunphy, although she said recently that her shape caused problems during filming.

Indeed, even standing for extended periods of time was difficult: "It was so painful. I had a lot of back problems.

'I really couldn’t stand up straight for a long period of time. It started to hurt so bad that I couldn’t take the pain.

"My neck was hurting so bad and I actually had some problems with my spine."

She also explained: "They had to hide it on Modern Family a lot.

"Big sweaters, strapping me down – which is fine – I understand that it doesn’t fit the character they have in mind.

"I understand that. But it was difficult to do that every day."

Opening up last week, Ms Winter has said since the surgery that she feels like a "new person".

Teenage actress has opened up about getting a breast reduction

Aug 12, 2015

Modern Family actress Ariel Winter is talking about the breast reduction surgery she underwent earlier this year.

In the new issue of Glamour magazine, the star opens up about how she now feels so much “relief” at being comfortable in her own skin.

In June this year, Ariel went under the knife in order to reduce the size of her breasts as they were leading her to experience incredible discomfort.

She says that at age 15 the change seemed to happen “overnight” and “it started to hurt so bad that I couldn’t take the pain.”

“I really couldn’t’ stand up straight for a long period of time. My neck was hurting so bad and I actually had some problems with my spine,” she revealed to the magazine.

At just 5’1” tall she had a size 32 F chest and explains that she had been considering the surgery for a long time. According to the star when she initially brought up the procedure with her doctor he said. “Your back is going to thank you so much.”

Ariel confesses that before the procedure she felt a lot of pressure from people online commenting on her body and shape.

“The Internet bullies are awful. I would post a photo where I feel good, and 500 people will comment about how fat I am, and that I am disgusting.”

She explains how she began to feel like her physical appearance was being talked about more than the work she was doing on the hit series.

"Every article that has to do with me on a red carpet had to do with 'Ariel Winter's Crazy Cleavage!' or 'Ariel Winter Shows Huge Boobs at an Event!' That's all people would recognize me by –.”

Now 17, she says that since the surgery she has found herself feeling much happier and more confident in herself. She hopes that being open about her experience will be of benefit to other young women.

It's something that I did to better my life and better my health, and I think that can benefit a lot of young girls. I have felt happier with myself than I ever have."
