Ariel Winter Was MIA AT The 2016 Golden Globes

This Modern Family star is really coming into her own style-wise. Ariel Winter missed the 2016 Golden Globes red carpet, but I still think it's worth appreciating just how much she has grown since the sitcom first premiered back in 2009. Winter, who made headlines this past summer for her awesome, body positive response to critics of her decision to have breast reduction surgery, has really been owning her style lately. It's hard growing up in the public eye, but the actor has done so gracefully.

Winter, who plays Alex Dunphy on the award-winning comedy series, wore some stand-out ensembles for public appearances in 2015. Remember her fire-engine red Emmys dress with the asymmetrical neckline? What about the Marilyn Monroe-esque white number she slayed for the SAG awards last January? Winter is all about bold colors and strong silhouettes, so I'm supremely bummed that I didn't get to see her in an equally incredible ensemble tonight.

So, what was the actor up to while the rest of Hollywood was attending the ceremony? We can't know for sure, but one thing is certain — the red carpet suffered without her epic sense of style! In the absence of a new look from Winter, let's reminisce about some of her past successes.

1. Jumpsuit On Fleek

There's a lot happening here, but I'm loving every bit of it.

2. Co-Ord Style

Does Winter have a signature look already?

3. Red Hot

Her Emmys ensemble was the definition of the word "fire."

4. Crazy Print

I love this super flirty mini that she paired with her blue-tipped hair for the Kids' Choice Awards in 2015.

5. Marilyn Moment

The dramatic silhouette really makes this dress.

6. Tuxedo Mini

Is this not the coolest dress you've ever seen?

7. Super Sweet

This reminds me of something Taylor Swift might wear, but well suited to Winter's petite frame.
