The 'Modern Family' star isn't shy about baring her body in front of the camera but her estranged mom Chrystal Workman isn't enamoured by Ariel "exposing herself".

She told In Touch Weekly magazine: "She needs to grow up. I would tell her to dress properly, be the beautiful person she is.

"I feel sad that she feels the need to expose herself when it's not necessary. Ariel is smart, beautiful, and talented. She is a legitimate actress. She does not need to do this. She is beautiful with her clothes on."

Meanwhile, the 19-year-old actress previously admitted she still feels "uncomfortable" about her body at times.

She said: "It's hard to be positive about your body all the time. I know because I'm honest about my insecurities that people think I'm 100 percent positive about my body all the time, but I'm not. I get really uncomfortable, too. But I just remind myself that this is the body I was given. This is who I am ...

"When I got the breast reduction it helped me feel so much better about my body. I used to have full-scale meltdowns in bathing suit shops because there was nothing I could find to wear. I always felt like crap about myself. My best friend, she's super tall and skinny and she'll wear the same bathing suit as me, but people will automatically look at me and call me out as a sl*t or write headlines about 'Ariel Winter's cleavage.' Meanwhile they look at her like, 'Oh she looks so cute!' But I've learned to not care about that as much. I'm comfortable in a bathing suit, scars and all."
