At the 10th Annual Spike TV Guys Choice Awards held in Culver City on June 4, 2016, Sarah Hyland demonstrated the evolution of her red-carpet style.
Moving away from her younger sitcom roots, the actress opted for a sophisticated, architectural ensemble that balanced sheer textures with sharp tailoring.

Her look centered on a striking black piece from Amanda Wakeley’s Spring 2016 collection.
The design featured a plunging sequined bralette paired with dramatic sheer panels that cascaded into a floor-sweeping train, creating a silhouette that felt both modern and evening-ready.

Sarah kept the look relatively modest by teaming the daring top with a pair of high-waisted, cropped pants. The petite American actress played up the sultry vibe by sporting smoky eye makeup and nude lipstick.

The actress rounded out her look with a pair of red drop earrings, a couple of statement rings, and crystal-embellished black sandals. She wore her brunette locks in center-parted waves.
