From a nerdy-nerd into a femme fatale: watch out, Haley, you no longer can accuse your sis of not caring about fashion.

Actress Ariel Winter became extremely popular after playing the role of a dorky middle child in the Dunphy family from the Modern Family series.

She was only 11 years old when she first appeared in the show. And since it has 11 seasons, it means the audience was able to actually see her literally growing up in front of them – both as a character and as a human.

At the beginning, Alex was just a lovable bookworm. But from the pilot till the series' finale Alex Dunphy's character changed a lot.

And not only emotionally, but physically as well. Until probably season 4, when she is finally hitting puberty and showing interest in boys, she used to wear childish clothes and did not pay too much attention to looks.

It was after her first kiss in the show when Alex started growing up so fast that fans couldn't even recognise the lovely nerd they once saw.

She changed her style, started to wear more make-up. Even her style has changed to a more feminine one.

But Alex was still Alex. And even in season 11 after huge transformation she still was her truly Dunphy self. But what happened right after the show ended is a whole other story…

After the last episode was shot, she immediately changed her hair color from brown to a bright red, just not to look like Alex Dunphy.

After that, Winter changed her hairstyles and hair colors like a million times, always finding a way to surprise fans.

Ariel Winter is no longer Alex Dunphy and that's the thing that seems too hard to realize. If you ever got into her Instagram, you might've already seen all the cute pictures she posted over the last three years.

There is a confident grown up woman in those photos. She likes to wear provocative outfits with extra short skirts and low-cut dresses.

Last month, Ariel turned 25, and boy oh boy, time flies real fast.

So it seems to be that in real life, Ariel Winter is actually anything but nerdy. And can easily compete with her TV sister Hailey in a fashion battle.
