'I dyed my hair red like the Little Mermaid!': Ariel Winter trades her dark locks for flaming tresses
Ariel Winter is taking style tips from her Disney namesake from The LIttle Mermaid.
The 15-year-old Modern Family star dyed her dark brown hair a flashy red and posted pictures of the attractive results on her Twitter page.

'Soooooo.... I dyed my hair red.... ;)' Ariel tweeted excitedly on Sunday, and compared herself to the beloved Disney character Ariel by adding, '#littlemermaid.'
The actress' red hair colour was met with mostly positive response if one considers a comparison to Selena Gomez a compliment.
'Woaaah you kinda look like selena gomez!' one follower wrote.
Well, there are similarities: Ariel used the popular Disney character The Little Mermaid, whose name is Ariel too, as inspiration to change her hair colour
'Yea you do,' a second echoed.
'Ginger Gomez,' a third tweeted.
On Monday Ariel showed off her burgundy-hued 'do as she posed with a larger-than-life-sized Dora the Explorer, whom she has parodied in a online series from CollegeHumor.
Many had often pointed out that the brunette Ariel resembled the cartoon character with her bob haircut.
'Hola mis amigos ;) Dora meets Dora with red hair...showdown,' Ariel wrote in the picture caption.

As the young often do, the teen actress debated for days over what she should do about her hair and asked Twitter followers for advice.
'If I were to color my hair... what color would y'all think I should try?' Ariel asked on March 18.
The young actress lives with her 34-year-old sister Shanelle Gray, who was appointed her guardian last year amid allegations of physical and emotional abuse against their mother. (Ariel's mother has denied those claims.)
Since moving in with her sibling, Ariel feels she's in a healthier place.
'I had body insecurities when I was younger. I still do,' Ariel told Teen Vogue. 'Every girl has insecurities -- mine were heightened at the time because my mother wasn't supportive.
'Now, my sister is always making sure to tell me that I look beautiful... It's about learning to love yourself.'
Comparisons: Now her fans are saying Ariel looks like a 'Ginger' Selena Gomez
