The Modern Family star, 21, showed off her petite curves in black skinny jeans that were tucked into a pair of black knee-high heeled boots.

She also donned an off-white Dunder Mifflin Paper Company Inc sweatshirt, which is a nod to the fictional paper sales business that was featured in the hit sitcom series, The Office, that aired on NBC from 2005 to 2013.

On this day, the Los Angeles native carried a stylish bold red purse and wore her raven tresses long with a part in the middle.

Speculation about Winter's split from Meaden after a three year romance surfaced in early October, although they hadn't been seen together in public since August, according to Us Weekly.  

The former couple first started dating in November 2016, which led to them moving in together the following year when she was 19 and he was nearly 30.

Winter is currently on holiday break from Modern Family. The hit sitcom's 11th and final season premiered in late September and goes through until the final farewell episode that will likely be in May 2020.
