She’s best-known for playing reserved book-worm Alex Dunphy in hit US sitcom Modern Family.
But Ariel Winter was quick to prove that life certainly doesn’t imitate art as she slipped her curves into a very risque ensemble while attending the LaPalme Magazine fall cover party at Nightingale Plaza in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The 19-year-old actress left little to the imagination as she posed up a storm on the red carpet in a very scanty dress.

Ariel’s wardrobe has become noticeably more daring since she decided in June 2015 that she would undergo breast reduction surgery.
She has decreased her size from a 32F to a 34D, admitting that she found her larger cup size to be ‘excruciatingly painful’.
Previously speaking about her reduction to PEOPLE, she confessed: ‘Being a 5ft tall girl and having extremely large breasts is really ostracizing and excruciatingly painful.’
