The Modern Family star glowed in the photo, wearing the signature off-the-shoulder black gown, paired with two gold necklaces: one with the infinity symbol and a second with 'AWG' engraved on it.

The TV actress parted her black hair down the middle, opting for kohl-lined lids and brown shimmering eye shadow.

Earlier this year, the beauty, who plays Alex Dunphy on the ABC hit show, told E! Online she hopes to study business and law in college.

She told the website: 'I would love to continue acting but it's definitely important, I think, to go and do something else as well.'

Adding: 'You never know if something's not going to work out, if one day acting is like, "No, we don't like you anymore!" You gotta have something else you can do. I've always been interested in law so I think it'll definitely be something that I'll love to do and also go to school for.'

On Saturday, the teen attended the Brooks Brothers 2nd Annual Holiday party with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Beverly Hills.
