In addition to continuing to be a fan favorite in her role as Alex Dunphy, Ariel made news in 2015 for different reasons entirely.

She's spoken out publicly about her breast reduction surgery and about courageously sticking up for victims of online bullying.

Taking a stand on a number of issues faced by women and young people in general in the 21st Century, she earned herself a legion of fans.

While many shy away from haters, Ariel slams body-shaming trolls and offers a positive example to her 3.1 million Instagram followers.

Regularly posting messages of hope and inspiration, as well as body positivity Winter is coming on strong as far as young role models go.

And, of course, she remains a gorgeous young woman. That likely has something to do with it too. Also, she often wears little clothing.
