'Love him!' Ariel Winter is a flame-haired beauty in lace gown as her father sends her off to prom
She's estranged from her mother - having taken the drastic step of legally emancipating herself.
But Ariel Winter still has a close relationship with her father, as shown when the two posed together before she went to prom at the weekend.
'Dad saw me off to #prom!! Love him,' wrote the teen star of Modern Family, sharing pictures from her big night.

Be a prom star like Ariel in a lace Xcite dress
Ariel Winters is growing up both on her show Modern Family and in real life as we spot her in her beautiful prom dress by Xcite. While this starlet could have gone to prom in some fancy custom made designer dress, we love how down to Earth she is by getting something that all her fans can also buy.
This dress is beautifully made with lace laid over a nude backing and comes with subtle crystal embellishments for that extra sparkle when you're on the dance floor. And the best part is that it's priced under $500.
Head over to the right to purchase this from Diane and Co. This kind of trumpet gown with its sweetheart neckline will be forever flattering so invest now and wear for all your formal events. Just freshen it up with on trend accessories like a Gothic statement collar or who knows, in the future, a sparkling LED lit up necklace.

The 18-year-old was the picture of elegance in the figure-hugging dress with a sweetheart neckline and a small train.
The black and white number fit like a glove, and was a striking contrast to Ariel's fiery red hair, which she styled in big, bold curls.
Ariel showed off a bit of a smoky eye, but balanced out the look with a softer, pink lipstick.
Silly: Ariel and a friend struck a silly pose as they showed off the sophisticated looks in a black and white photo the star posted to Instagram
She accessorized her look with a small, gold wristlet, and was seen posing in front of a large fountain.
Ariel does not speak to her mother - Chrisoula Workman - having gone through years of legal battles with her mom over allegations that she emotionally and physically abused her as a child.
Aged 14 she moved in with her older sister Shanelle Workman, who was later granted custody.
Déjà vu: Last year as Ariel accompanied boyfriend Laurent to prom she donned another form-fitting lacy number, though this one featured short sleeves, a plunging front, and a cut-out along the back
However, she is clearly close to her father Glenn Workman, who also posed with her before she attended prom last year.
This time the actress was not seen with her boyfriend Laurent - who graduated last year - as she left for prom.
She did, however, share a black and white photograph of her standing with her back to a friend as she pulled a coy face.

Meanwhile, Elle Fanning also posted a 'prom' photo on Monday, sharing a black and white snap of her modeling a gorgeous Zuhair Murad gown.
'Reliving my Senior Prom! Thank you, @basquitwat for flying out since I could not be home and making our prom night one to remember forever! #ProminCannes #PromontheRedCarpet,' Elle gushed in the caption.
She could be seen standing beside her date as the two happily posed on a beautiful, curved, marble staircase in the photograph.
Elle had been at Cannes to promote her new movie The Neon Demon.
'Reliving my Senior Prom' Elle Fanning also celebrated her senior prom - sharing a gorgeous black and white photo of her posing in a Zuhair Murad gown - this past weekend, though she was in Cannes for the big occasion
