Modern Family star almost unrecognisable with new look

Ariel Winter is channeling a different famous Ariel. The Modern Family starlet, 21, posted an Instagram photo on Saturday featuring a new ‘do of long, wavy red hair that’s straight out of “The Little Mermaid.”

“Part of yourrrr worlddddd,” the actress captioned the photo, which was paired with a duo of mermaid emojis.

Winter paired her flaming red locks with classic jeans and a low-cut, lace-up black bodysuit top.

Clearly, another former Disney redhead had nothing but love for Winter’s style. Bella Thorne, who’s also known for her red locks, commented “Love” on Winter’s instagram post.

While Winter is known for making waves with her risqué looks on Instagram, she’s most often associated with her raven-coloured hair. Her new look is nearly unrecognisable compared to photos of her last fall.

Winter has always been quite open about her changing looks, even revealing that she underwent a breast reduction at age 17. Back in January, she revealed a slimmer frame that didn’t go unnoticed by fans. The comments about her weight loss were so plentiful that it prompted a response from Winter in Instagram.

“I appreciate you wanting to help girls love themselves the way they are, but you are also kind of cutting someone (me) down,” Winter wrote. “I also didn’t get plastic surgery. That is also not being supportive of women if you’re just assuming something about the way they look.”
