How 'Modern Family' Star Sarah Hyland Does Coachella

(Courtesy: Pacific Coast News; FameFlynet Pictures)Abandoning the trendy threads her character flaunts on Modern Family, Sarah Hyland set off for Coachella last week, letting her inner flower child take center stage. The 23-year-old actress, who portrays the oldest (and oh-so-popular) Dunphy sibling, sported a number of free-spirited looks at the popular music festival, and we got the scoop on her affordable outfits.
Overflowing with all the indie embellishments a wild heart could dream of, Hyland's travel wardrobe boasted crochet and lace fabrics, bright colors, skimpy silhouettes, and floral accessories. By day, many of the care-free confections, including the denim shorts ($39.95), graphic muscle tee ($29.95), neon bandeau ($12.95), and bright floral crown ($15.50), were from American Eagle Outfitters, as well as its diffusion line of intimates, Aerie.

Still, traces of Haley Dunphy lingered. For her last night, Hyland sported fashion-forward pieces, including a double ring by Kendra Scott and silk robe.
