Sarah Hyland looked cute and was all smiles as she hung out with fellow actors at her first major celebrity event since she obtained a temporary restraining order against ex-boyfriend and actor Matthew Prokop, 24.
Sporting a retro sky blue and red geometric-print cutout mini dress and red heels, the 23-year-old Modern Family star walked the red carpet and had herself a fun night at the Teen Vogue's 2014 Young Hollywood issue launch party, sponsored by Emporio Armani, in Beverly Hills, California on Friday. She was seen hanging out with Ariel Winter, 16, who plays her little sister Alex Dunphy on the ABC show.
Hyland, who plays Haley Dunphy, had shared a sweet message about her fellow cast members on her Instagram page before the season 6 premiere, just after it was revealed that she had earlier this month obtained a temporary restraining order against Prokop, claiming that he abused her physically and verbally. He has not commented. No charges have been filed.
Hyland seemed to be enjoying herself at the party. In addition to Winter, she also hung out with Nolan Gerard Funk, who appeared on MTV's Awkward. last year. He shared a photo of the two at the party on his Twitter page.
".@TeenVogue -ing with @Sarah_Hyland last night. Where was @arielwinter1 to join?" he said.
She retweeted him, adding, "SUCH good models..."
They continued their online banter on Saturday.

At the party, Hyland was also spotted talking to and dancing with two other unidentified male partygoers and was photographed laughing near Jeremy Allen White, 23, who plays Lip Gallagher on the Showtime dramedy Shameless.
White's co-star, Cameron Monaghan, who plays Lip's brother Ian Gallagher, also attended the event.
The party was held inside a private residence in the Hollywood Hills area. Many guests enjoyed Veuve Clicquot Champagne and beer, while the underage partygoers sipped on sodas and punch. They also munched on hors d'oeuvres such as Caesar salad, sushi rolls, shrimp tacos, truffle rolls, and sausage rolls. A camera drone flew around the room.
Other stars in attendance included Debby Ryan, Peyton List, Bella Thorne and Joe Jonas, who was spotted chatting with several male friends as well as with actress Hailee Steinfield and Fifth Harmony singer Camila Cabello, who attended the festivities with her group.
