<p>Ariel Winter, 17, has grown up in the public eye. When she was 11, she was cast as Alex Dunphy on ABC's "Modern Family."

And then overnight I did," Winter said in the interview. "But then they kept growing and growing and growing, and it didn't seem like they were going to stop."</p><p>Winter says her new image attracted a lot of unwanted attention from the media.  Instead of focusing on her career, press outlets started commenting on her outfits and chest size.</p><p>"It made me feel really uncomfortable because as women in the industry, we are totally over sexualized and treated like objects.</p><p>Every article that has to do with me on a red carpet always had to do with 'Ariel Winter's Crazy Cleavage!' Or 'Ariel Winter Shows Huge Boobs At An Event!' That's all people would recognize me by, not, "Oh, she does great work on 'Modern Family.'"</p><p>Even though she appeared confident on the red carpet, Winter says finding good-fitting clothes was always a struggle, her image kept her from being cast in age-appropriate roles, and she felt self-conscious.</p><p>"I'm an actress, [acting confident is] what we do," she told the magazine. "But on the inside, I wasn't feeling so happy."</p><p>In June, Winter decided to do something about her body image and got breast reduction surgery.</p><p>Now that Winter has gone down a few sizes, she says she feels like she looks the way she was always "supposed to." And she hopes her decision will influence other young girls with similar confidence issues.</p><p>"<span>It's something that I did to better my life and better my health and I think that that can benefit a lot of young girls," she tells Glamour.

The revival of these styles reinforces Spears' role as a fashion taste-maker, as many of the outfits stars wear today look just like outfits the singer was wearing 20 years ago.</p><p>In fact, you can look to almost any of Spears' favorite looks from the 1990s and 2000s and find a celebrity who wore something similar in recent years.</p><p>For instance, Bella Hadid sported a see-through white crop top with loose pants in 2020.</p><p>The outfit looks similar to an ensemble Spears wore for a promotional shoot in 1999. Spears' transparent, white top and relaxed pants have the same energy as Hadid's modern look.</p><div type="image" title="britney bella hadid side by side" height="900" width="1200" msid="81093719" hostid="261"></div><p>Other stars have opted for red-carpet ensembles that look similar to outfits Spears wore early in her career.</p><p>The <a href="https://www.insider.com/celebrity-daring-dresses-red-carpet-2017-2#elsa-hosk-put-a-twist-on-the-underwear-as-outerwear-trend-for-the-vanity-fair-oscar-party-in-march-2018-15">sheer gown Elsa Hosk wore</a> to the 2018 Vanity Fair Oscar Party looked like an updated version of Spears' minidress from the 2001 VMAs. </p><div type="image" title="britney spears elsa hosk" height="900" width="1200" msid="81093721" hostid="261"></div><p>The matching sets Spears favored early in her career are becoming popular again, too.</p><p>For example, in 2019, Halsey wore a tie-dye top and matching pants reminiscent of a set that Spears wore to perform in 2000.</p><div type="image" title="britney halsey side by side" height="900" width="1200" msid="81093724" hostid="261"></div><p>Spears was also a fan of shirts that drew attention to her navel, such as crop tops or shirts with cutouts on the torso.</p><p>Recently, stars have worn tops that look like copies of those Spears wore two decades ago. For instance, in 2020, Kendall Jenner wore what looked like a modern version of a crisscrossed, strappy pink tank top Spears sported in 1999.</p><div type="image" title="britney kendall" height="900" width="1200" msid="81093725" hostid="261"></div><p>These are just a few of the looks celebrities are wearing today that have roots in the outfits Spears popularized, highlighting her lasting impact on the fashion industry.</p><h2>Despite the popularity of her style, Spears was shamed for what she wore</h2><p>When modern stars wear styles that were popular in the '90s, the media and fans take notice, but typically it's merely to note the rise of a <a href="https://www.insider.com/fashion-and-clothing-trends-that-will-be-popular-in-2021">nostalgic fashion trend</a>.</p><p>But when Spears bore her stomach or opted for a sheer outfit, it was a scandal.</p><p>Throughout her career, Spears became an object of ridicule and shame, with her critics pointing directly to her outfits as a reason for insulting her on many occasions.</p><p>As shown in "Framing Britney Spears," comedians, reporters, and consumers vilified Spears for wearing revealing clothing. She was slut-shamed and presented as a danger to young fans.</p><p>In one of the most extreme examples, Kendel Ehrlich, the former first lady of Maryland <a href="https://www.insider.com/britney-spears-diane-sawyer-2003-interview-fan-backlash-documentary-reactions-2021-2">said in 2003 of the pop star</a>: "Really, if I had an opportunity to shoot Britney Spears, I think I would."</p><p>Those critiques didn't come exclusively because of what Spears wore, but there's no denying her ensembles played a role in people's <keyword id="6356002" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="opinion">opinion</keyword> of her.</p><div type="image" title="britney spears grammys" height="603" width="804" msid="81093727" hostid="261"></div><p>The public also conflated Spears' outfit choices with her sexuality, with some talk-show hosts and journalists often asking Spears prying questions about her sexual activity or making inappropriate comments on her appearance. </p><p>Of course, Spears' outfits did not entitle anyone to information about her sex life or give people the right to make vulgar comments on her appearance, but they acted as if it did. </p><p>For instance, <a href="https://www.insider.com/framing-britney-spears-documentary-justin-timberlake-backlash-2021-2">a radio host once asked Spears' ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake if he had sex with Spears</a>, which is outrageous in and of itself. But Timberlake then said that he had slept with her, demonstrating that even those who were once close to Spears had no regard for her privacy.</p><p>Likewise, a study of profiles on Britney in magazines from early in her career highlights the public's fixation on her appearance as well. For instance, a <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/britney-spears-teen-queen-rolling-stones-1999-cover-story-254871/">1999 Rolling Stone</a> article about then 17-year-old Spears describes her chest as "ample" within the first 500 words of the piece.</p><p>The harassment was sexist and unfair, and few even realized it was a problem at the time.</p><p>The fault doesn't lie just with the media, either. Many of Spears' fans would read tabloid articles about her and engaged with gossip about her looks, her sexual activity, and her mental health, making even those who love her complicit in the abuse Spears experienced.</p><h2>We've made progress in allowing women to wear what they want, but we still have a lot of work to do</h2><p><a href="https://www.insider.com/britney-spears-father-coconservator-estate-judge-ruling-2021-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spears</a>' refusal to tone down her look to make others comfortable emboldened a new generation of stars to experiment with their fashion as they see fit, but her contemporaries are still facing unfair criticism for their outfits today.</p><p>The critiques aren't always as extreme as <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHeN4bh3av/">Rosie O'Donnell calling Spears' outfits "trampy"</a> in an interview with Mariah Carey - but stars are still shamed for their ensembles nonetheless.</p><p>For instance, <a href="https://www.insider.com/kim-kardashian-mom-shamed-naked-photo-instagram-2018-1">Kim Kardashian West</a> and <a href="https://www.insider.com/ariel-winter-shamed-for-dress-response-2018-1">Ariel Winter</a> have both been slut-shamed for bearing skin in recent years, and Billie Eilish has said that she typically avoids wearing fitted clothing altogether to prevent people from commenting on her appearance, as <a href="https://www.teenvogue.com/story/billie-eilish-baggy-clothes-calvin-klein">Teen Vogue reported</a>.</p><p>On one occasion when Eilish did wear a tighter tank top, people took to social media almost immediately to <a href="https://www.insider.com/billie-eilish-hated-body-baggy-clothes-reason-dazed-interview-2020-4">make sexual comments about the young star</a>.</p><p>Eilish was only 17 years old at the time, demonstrating that little has changed for famous women aside from their own confidence.</p><div type="image" title="billie eilish" height="1645" width="2193" msid="81093728" hostid="261"></div><p>We fail female celebrities when we equate their worth to the clothes they do or don't wear, sending the message that all that matters is how they look.</p><p>Our failure to stand up for Spears negatively impacted her mental health, and we owe it to the celebrities of today not to repeat history. </p><p>The cycle will continue if journalists, other celebrities, and fans don't realize that their words have consequences, which is why we have to call out sexist behavior toward female stars - and women in general - when we see it.</p>
