You're like really pretty Ariel Winter.

Fans may recognize the Hollywood actress as the smart, articulate and successful Alex Dunphy on ABC's comedy Modern Family.

But in a new photo shoot with Cosmopolitan.com, the 18-year-old is ready to display some sass while channeling a few of pop culture's "Bad Bitches."

Mean Girls fans will absolutely get a kick out of the photos when Ariel dresses as Regina George (Rachel McAdams) in her signature "A Little Bit Dramatic" T-shirt.

While some things have changed—goodbye flip phones and hello iPhones—Ariel's recreation of Gretchen Weiner's BFF is spot on. If only she posed in army pants and flip-flops.

"When I was younger, we didn't have a lot of role models that were not Regina George-like. We didn't have a lot of super-nice women who were just OK being themselves—didn't have to dress in designer clothes, didn't have to bleach blonde their hair, didn't have to limit themselves at every meal. That promoted a lot of insecurity," Winter says. "People love her so much because they're like, 'Wow, I wish I could be like her.' Even people who have been rejected by Regina George-like people, I notice that they turn around and try to become the other way—they try to be like Regina. It's just disappointing that that's what they consider a perfect girl."

Things took a more studious turn when the actress tried to recreate Blair Waldorf's preppy look from the series Gossip Girl. With her high-waisted denim skirt, blue stockings and white button-down, we're not used to this Upper East Side look on Ariel.

We also can't help but praise her look that pays tribute to the movie Clueless.

Between the red pigtails to the Converse sneakers, we're seeing a whole new version of Amber (Elisa Donovan) in the new photo shoot.

Putting photos aside, Ariel is also opening up in the new issue of Cosmopolitan about dealing with "bitches" and shutting them down.

"Treat people the way you wanna be treated," she shared with E! News. "I don't get why people aim to hurt others. Everyone has a story. Promote kindness." 

Go behind-the-scenes of Arial's photo shoot with Cosmopolitan tonight on E! News at 7 and 11 p.m.
