Ariel Winter shared a topless selfie from her bed on Friday night. 

The 19-year-old Uploaded a brace of pics to Snapchat as she cuddled with her lollipop rocking Care Bear, with the simple caption: 'goodnighttttt'.

The post reinforced the young actress's attitude towards criticism of her choice of wardrobe, which she experienced once again on Wednesday when she wore a revealing dress to a red carpet event.

Pictures from the Modern Family event caused a stir, mainly because her co-stars had dressed decidedly more casual on the night.

While everyone else looked laid-back in a collection of jeans, khakis, and button-down shirts, Winter strutted in front of the cameras wearing a heavily embellished gold minidress.

While many supported her decision, and some just poked fun at the obviously striking juxtaposition, there were others who nastily attacked the teen over her outfit.

'That girl oozes insecurity and is 2 minutes away from being like or worse than Lindsay Lohan. Sad,' said a tweet. 'Ariel is def trying too hard to look slutty,' said another. 'Poor Ariel. She needs help,' lamented a third.

But the young star didn't let the criticism, and quickly took to Instagram to fire back at those who had criticized her look. 

In a post, she posed the question 'Why the f*** does everyone care that I didn't dress casual like everyone else for the panel?'

Ariel Winter posed on the red carpet at a promotional event for Modern Family this week and she was glittering in gold. She received a lot of backlash for her racy look, but we think at Fashion Finder, wear what makes you feel comfortable and the actress looked more than happy with her choice.

The dress was a racy pick by Falguni Shane Peacock that featured hefty cut outs with mesh paneling, showing off a lot of leg, decolletage and also her shoulders - which just happens to be bang-on trend right now.

She continued: 'Why can't people just let other people feel good about themselves and do what they want?' She then proclaims: 'Wear what you want people! As long as you feel good about yourself that's what matters. I know I did. 

 'Don't ever let anyone stifle who you are and how you express yourself,' she concluded. 'Rant over,'

When Page Six joked in a headline that she 'didn't get the dress code memo,' she replied: 'Actually I did. I just made a choice to wear what I wanted and feel bomb AF.'

Critics beware: After receiving a slew of criticism for her look, Winter took to Instagram to express her side of the story and encourage others to dress in a way that makes them happy
