It’s no secret that we were pretty much in love with the dress that Modern Family star Ariel Winter wore for her graduation party, which is why we were shocked when the 18-year-old started receiving mean comments for the outfit coming from body-shamers who didn’t want her to be happy in her own skin.

Couldn't be more grateful to @shanelle_gray & @davidbarrygray for throwing me the most amazing graduation party ever last night...the amount of love and support they've shown me for the past four years has been life changing. My sister is my absolute best friend and my everything...❤️ Thank you so much. I couldn't be luckier or more grateful. I was in awe last night and I still am that you guys love me that much to do all of that for me...I never would be where I am today without you two...you guys saved me and taught me to be the person I am today. Dad...I love you!!! Thank you for always being there to support and love me as well and always put a smile on my face no matter what :). I'm so grateful for the bond we now share. Alenah the song you put together with Shanelle and recorded for me was one of the most special gifts I've ever received. I'm still tearing up thinking about it. Thank you for that and for your beautiful, special performance. Also a big thank you so much to Geraldine for putting it all together and to @contemporarycatering @robpauerful for the most amazing food! A special thank you as well to Sharon who is probably the biggest reason I was able to get through high school and accepted into college...you pushed me to always do my best and encouraged me...not to mention you were always there for my 1am freak outs about late projects :) Anddddd thank you SO MUCH to all of my amazing family members and friends that flew in to celebrate with us- you guys are the absolute best. Thank you also to the ones who didn't have to fly in...so much love was felt all around last night. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! Class of 2016...❤️ #uclabound

Commenters wrote things like “You look beautiful but if my high school age daughter showed up in that… Ummm no” and “Put your tits away.” It’s disheartening that on an emotional and heartfelt post about one of the most important days of her life, people are focusing on her body and what they think she should be wearing.

Wearing body-hugging or revealing clothing is not a bad thing and it also doesn’t negate the educational achievement she’s celebrating. Ariel wore that dress because it looks good, plain and simple. But don’t just listen to us, Ariel took to Twitter on Wednesday to shut down the haters herself.

She followed this up with a picture from Snapchat, and another reminder that we should be comfortable being exactly who we are regardless of naysayers.

Ariel is already so mature, smart, and level-headed when it comes to these issues that it’s no surprise she’ll be attending UCLA in the fall. The truth is, even if she walked around naked, it wouldn’t matter. She’s a hard worker with so much ahead of her, no matter what she wears. Congrats, Ariel!
