As has been covered fairly well in the past, Modern Family actress Ariel Winter garners a lot of attention for what she does away from her television role. While she plays the reserved, smart Alex Dunphy on the series, she seems to cut loose in her own life and reveal a bit more than her TV character would ever think about doing. This has gained her quite a lot of criticism, sometimes from her own family, but it is her decision in the end and doesn’t seem to be hurting anybody.
That’s why the latest “controversy” involving Winter has her defending herself on social media. She joined her fellow Modern Family cast members at a screening for the season eight finale — and possible series finale — at the Wolf Theater, with some pointing out the major difference between her dress and the rest of the cast’s outfits.

The dress is definitely far different from the casual choices made by the other members of the cast, but it’s fairly normal for Winter at this point. It is who she is away from the show, so why not express it?
That’s why she posted a rant on Instagram, lashing out at critics of her choice of dress and defending it as an expression of feeling good:

And you can’t really blame her, can you? We praise fashion on the red carpet all the time but seem to lambast someone who goes against that grain. While she’s definitely taking a different route than the other folks on Modern Family, she’s not lighting the theater on fire. Not to mention that she’s right about wearing what you want if it makes you feel good. There are social limitations, but if you want to wear pajamas or yoga pants every day of your life you can.
