Modern Family star Sarah Hyland provides biggest Emmys fashion shock

THE Modern Family star rocked up to the Emmys in an unusual ensemble that had some praising her adventurousness — and others mocking her.

MODERN Family starlet Sarah Hyland has provided one of the biggest red carpet surprises at the Emmys with an outfit that has left fans and fashion critics divided.

The 25-year-old sitcom star went for party on top, business on the bottom, donning a strapless, embroidered top with twin floor-length trains.

For her bottom half? Black, ankle-length pants.

The look proved instantly divisive, with some praising Hyland for serving a different look to the usual floor-length ball gown attire seen at awards shows. Others just didn’t quite ... get what she was going for:

Sarah Hyland's outfit is like me, after a meeting, when I leave my fancy top on, but change into yoga pants on the bottom. #Emmys

Unfortunately, it is basically a tablecloth masquerading as clothing. Re: Sarah Hyland's #Emmys outfit. #redcarpet

I want to like Sarah Hyland's outfit but something is just off for me. But the top part is gorgeous #ERedCarpet #emmys

Hyland’s Modern Family co-star Ariel Winter flaunted her now-trademark racy style on the red carpet in a sheer beaded gown with nude cut-out panels.
