Breaking away from her signature red-carpet glamour, the “Modern Family” star opted for an effortlessly chic aesthetic that feels just as fresh today as it did on the orange carpet.

Her look centered around a silk-satin co-ord from Tommy Hilfiger, pairing a structured bomber jacket with matching culotte shorts.
By layering the set over a crisp Zimmermann crop top and adding Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, Hyland balanced “athletic” and “upscale” perfectly.

While the outfit was playful, the focal point for shoe lovers was her choice of a towering platform to anchor the lightweight silk fabric.
The brunette debuted her newly darkened hair on the orange carpet and styled it into tousled waves with a middle part.

Standing at just 5 feet 1 inch (154.9 cm) and wearing a US shoe size 6, Sarah Hyland gave her petite frame a boost with thick-strapped Jimmy Choo “Holly” platform heels that instantly lengthened her legs.

Although the exact Jimmy Choo “Holly” sandals worn by Sarah Hyland are now largely sold out, the brand continues to release similarly bold platform styles through luxury retailers like Mytheresa and Farfetch, where you can still find statement platform heels inspired by the same disco-glam silhouette.
