Sarah Hyland defends her choice of undergarments.
On Tuesday on Instagram, the Modern Family star revealed she wore two pairs of Spanx underneath her bright pink Zac Posen dress at the Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday night.

The actress wrote on social media:
“#funfact I’m wearing TWO pairs of spanx. Why diet? When you can just hide it!”
Unfortunately, several Internet users thought the 28-year-old was possibly promoting unhealthy body image. They wrote in the comments section:
“This makes me sad that a) you think you need to wear two spanx and b) horrible body image advice you’re unintentionally dishing out”
“Most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard”
“She doesn’t have an ounce of fat she’s just so annoying lol.”
That same day on Twitter, Hyland responded, “Someone gets it!!” to a fan who made a point about her “trying to hide the bump from [her kidney] transplant.”
Sarah also clapped back at a since-deleted tweet by writing, “When you have two kidney transplants and are on steroids for life get back to me.”
In December 2018, the thespian — who has been open about her kidney dysplasia diagnosis — announced she had a second kidney transplant after her body rejected the first donor kidney.
Stay strong, Sarah!
