Ariel Winter practically repeats her prom look from last year: still cute?
Modern Family star Ariel Winter celebrated her final prom this year before she heads to UCLA next year. Ariel, who enrolled in a private LA High School three years ago after a lifetime of private tutoring on set, posted the picture above of her prom look to Instagram over the weekend. However, if you look at last year’s post, you’ll notice how how much the dresses have in common:
Why go with such a similar dress? I assume because she loved it the first time.
Thankfully, if you’re currently spiraling out into a tulle and sequin-induced mania, simply follow in Ariel Winter‘s well-dressed footsteps and find your own unique, tried-and-true prom style uniform.
On her Instagram on Sunday night, Ariel revealed the dress she chose for this year’s senior prom. While most girls go full-blown Disney princess for the big night, considering that fantasy is already a daily reality for Ariel, what with her name and bright red mane, she decided to switch things up with a more sedate, sophisticated look for the evening. The actress wore a strapless, sweetheart neckline, black lace gown that looked oddly familiar.
In fact, these looks are so identical the easiest way to figure out time has passed between these two photos is a quick glance at the actress’s dad who appears to be Benjamin Button-ing thanks to his brown hair refresh.
I kept in the part about her dad because I thought the Benjamin Buttons comment was pretty funny; I kind of like him better with the grey hair. Aaaaaaaah, prom. I had wildly different dress styles each year and I looked terrible in all of them. I even begged my poor mother to make my final one so we could get it right. The dress itself was beautiful but I looked like a linebacker in it.
Obviously there are many similarities in the dresses, but just by eliminating the sleeves and the bright red hair, this kind of feels like a different look to me. This silhouette is very much what Ariel has been favoring on the red carpet of late and I can see why, it looks great on her. She’s had costume people and stylists helping her polish her look for years. Plus, it has to be different for a person who gets to dress up all the time; things like repeating an idea probably don’t factor into the decision making as much. Or maybe she’s just been hanging around with Sofia Vergara too much. It’s prom, she should feel confident and have fun – what better way to do that wear a tested look? *Sigh* If only I’d used this logic back then… or had an ounce of fashion sense.
