The 72-year-old "Modern Family" alum was spotted out and about in Los Angeles earlier this month with her pet Chihuahua.
The star, who isn't often photographed publicly, kept her outfit simple, wearing a blue shirt, grey jacket, Nike sneakers, long socks and cuffed grey jeans. Her iconic blonde hair fell over her shoulders and she also donned stylish clear-rimmed glasses.
