Sarah Hyland's Best Red Carpet Looks Of All Time

New York City-born actor Sarah Hyland has had a stunning transformation over the years, getting her start in show business at the age of four before becoming most known for her role as Haley Dunphy in "Modern Family." In this way, she's made countless appearances at star-studded events, having her fair share of red carpet hits and misses over the years. Still, the Hollywood figure's interest in fashion runs deep, with Hyland speaking of her early style inspirations to Vogue.

"I was in New York and my name was Sarah so I just wanted to be [Sarah Jessica Parker]," Hyland told the outlet in 2013. "I wore heels most days to school, despite there being four flights of stairs to the classrooms." As an adult, she's even had a collaborative hand in some of her evening ensembles, working with designers like Georgina Chapman and Christian Siriano to design some of her award show looks. So, while Hyland looks gorgeous going makeup free and casual, she can really rock a bold, Hollywood glam look.

One of Sarah Hyland's best red carpet ensembles comes from the 2014 Emmys, with the former "Love Island USA" host looking cool and confident in a Christian Siriano outfit. The two-piece look consisted of a white, cropped top with a square-shaped neckline paired with a full, high-waisted skirt in a vibrant orange-toned red. Hyland styled the look with diamond Lorraine Schwartz earrings shaped like bows and a large top knot, sporting a brown smokey eye and nude-toned lip color. With a youthful and vibrant feel, this award show look is both stylish and fun.

Sarah Hyland took a different approach to her 2015 Emmy Awards look, opting for a more sophisticated burgundy gown from Zac Posen. The floor-length piece featured a fitted silhouette and off-the-shoulder straps, with the actor accessorizing with a color-matched bracelet, dangly earrings, and matte nail set. Though her dress was a slightly more traditional take on eveningwear than her previous award show look, Hyland managed to keep things young and energetic with her feathered bob and metallic eyeshadow.

Next, Sarah Hyland similarly wowed with her vintage-inspired gown for the amfAR Inspiration Gala in 2015. The detailed beading of the Jenny Packham gown was reminiscent of art-deco flapper dresses of the 1920s, though the garment boasted a floor-length hemline and V-shaped, halter neck shape. Hyland accessorized with a dainty necklace, dangly earrings, and an Edie Parker clutch. The "Vampire Academy" star's hair was pulled back for the event, with her side-parted bangs being shaped into a loose curl at the end, and she opted for a burgundy, matte lipstick. The vintage influence of this gown, combined with some trendy matte details, made for a really interesting and playful look from Hyland.

Jumping forward to 2018, we were majorly wowed by the cobalt blue Carolina Herrera gown that Sarah Hyland wore to the Costume Designers Guild Awards. Consisting of a strapless neckline and a full skirt, the gown also featured flowers embroidered across the bodice and to the hip. With bold lashes, pink-toned lip gloss, and a pulled-back hairstyle, Hyland opted for a more pared-back beauty look, which worked well with the simple elegance of the gown. The TV star also accessorized with rounded gold earrings and a ring with a blue jewel, making for an effortlessly chic red carpet ensemble.

Sarah Hyland sported another fun and playful red carpet look in 2020, posing in a Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini dress at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The floral-print gown consisted of a structured bubble skirt and deep-V neckline, with an exaggerated train being an unexpected addition to the short gown. Hyland accented the lavender hue of the gown with light-toned eyeshadow and a glossy lip color, styling her hair in a low ponytail. With silver heels and matching earrings, this award show look remains memorable for its unexpected, but fun design.

In addition to vintage glamour and simple elegance, Sarah Hyland proved that she can rock a pretty in pink look at The Los Angeles LGBT Center Gala in 2023. For the fundraising event, the "Geek Charming" actor wore a checkered-print Christian Siriano gown, with the garment featuring alternating metallic squares for an eye-catching effect. The floor-length dress also featured a thigh-high slit and strapless neckline, with Hyland styling the piece with a pair of metallic pink heels. She kept the pink going with her nails and make-up, choosing a light eyeshadow and glossy lip for the outfit. With this look, we can definitely see Hyland feeling right at home on the "Barbie" dance floor.

Sarah Hyland wore another stunning Christian Siriano gown to the "The Great Gatsby" Centennial Celebration Gala, with the actor starring in the Broadway show as Daisy Buchanan. The gown featured a strapless neckline and an asymmetrical hem, with sparkly beading reminiscent of bare tree limbs adorning the entire garment. The Hollywood figure styled the look with silver, open-toed heels, an assortment of diamond rings, and a collared necklace. She wore her hair down, side-parted and loosely curled, and opted for a brown-toed smokey eye. Elegant and eye-catching, this 2025 look definitely ranks as one of our favorite red carpet ensembles from Sarah Hyland.
