Sarah Hyland had fans laughing over her latest burn on social media. The Modern Family star clapped back at a commenter who teased her for what they assumed was a spray tan at the 2020 SAG Awards, and her followers right behind her.
Hyland was dressed to the nines at the 2020 Screen Actors’ Guild Award show on Sunday night. She wore a floral purple dress with a neck line that plunged to her navel, and a ruffled skirt adorned with an over-sized bow. The dress was short, but an extravagant train followed Hyland, dragging on the red carpet behind her.
