Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, recognizable as Lily Tucker-Pritchett from ‘Modern Family’, celebrated her prom night in style. Over the weekend, the former child star took to Instagram to showcase her elegant prom ensemble. Now 16 and nearing her 17th birthday on June 6, she’s almost unrecognizable from the adorable toddler fans first met on the beloved ABC sitcom.
A Glimpse of Her Stunning Prom Look
Anderson-Emmons wowed her followers by sharing a fun transformation video on Instagram. She began the video in casual wear – a black T-shirt and jean shorts – before revealing a sophisticated black halter dress suited for the occasion. The actress set the clip to audio from The Cat in the Hat movie, delighting her fans with the dramatic reveal.
Posing with Her Date
Following her transformation clip, Anderson-Emmons shared a photo alongside her prom date, Phoenix Reed. Her elegant prom dress was complemented by a white corsage that matched Reed’s boutonniere on his all-black suit.
Fond Memories of ‘Modern Family’
Anderson-Emmons’ role as Lily was pivotal in Modern Family, where she first joined the show at just four years old during its fourth season. She played the adopted daughter of Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron Tucker, portrayed by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet respectively. A throwback scene featuring these three leads still stands as a nostalgic reminder of their bond.
A Special Reunion
The connections forged on Modern Family have continued off-screen. Earlier this year, Ferguson and fellow co-star Julie Bowen reunited to cheer on Aubrey at her high school play. Ferguson even shared their admiration on social media, expressing his pride: Took my sis to see the kiddo in her school musical, The Theory of Relativity. So proud of you @aubreyandersonemmons!
Reflecting on Her Journey
Reflecting back, it’s been 13 years since Anderson-Emmons stepped into the role of Lily Tucker-Pritchett, which she carried through nine seasons. About meeting Ferguson for her chemistry read, Aubrey fondly recalls: I had a chemistry read with Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays my dad on the show. He’s the ginger one, [I] love him
. It’s moments like these that have kept fans connected to her journey, both on screen and off.
