Modern Family star Ariel Winter has always been a fierce advocate for body positivity and acceptance, particularly when it comes to wearing whatever she wants, whenever she wants (even if it's her own garden!)

Ariel's fashion choices have often made headlines, but both she and her fans know how to clap back. She once took to social saying, "Pretty annoyed about the focus on the fact that I wear shorts, and the commentary that I'm 'squeezing' into them or the idea that it's not okay for me to wear shorts." She continued, "It's SUMMER. Get over it. It's hot, I'm obviously going to be wearing minimal clothes. I'm not going to suffer in a turtleneck to please anyone."

Ariel's head-turning style surely isn't going anywhere. Daring cutouts, high hems, and statement-making details ensure she's still serving jaw-dropping looks wherever she goes. Ahead, see her best looks.

Before debuting pink hair, Ariel was once a redhead. During those short-lived days, she visited the SiriusXM Studios clad in this turtle neck, checkered suit, and stilettos combo. It's certainly a daring color palette and Ariel managed to pull it off perfectly. This is perhaps one of our favorite looks on her: Sophisticated but casual.

Ariel showed up to a Golden Globes afterparty in this asymmetrical, neon dress that was covered in sequins. The subdues texture of the garment makes for an added detail and Ariel took it to the next level with a matching purse and some transparent heels.

But the outfit was even greater from the back if we are being honest. The open back paired with the one-off long sleeve delivers a killer punch.
