Elisabeth Moss goes platinum blonde: unflattering shade or pretty?

Despite her insistance on rolling with Xenu, I have a great deal of affection for Elisabeth Moss, mostly because I am a West Wing fanatic (she played first daughter Zooey Bartlett) and because I adore Mad Men (she’s so awesome on Mad Men). I’m also a defender of Lizzie Moss’s “look” in a general way – I think she gets a lot of unfair criticism for not being “Hollywood pretty”. I’ve always thought she was pretty, though – as Don Draper once said of Peggy, “You know you’re cute as hell.” I’ve always known Moss as a brunette (although she has veered into honey/dirty blonde before) – but here are some new photos of her at last night’s premiere of For A Good Time Call…, debuting her new platinum-blonde locks.

So, what do you think? I don’t think they suit her at all. I would be fine if she just wanted to lighten her brunette shade, but I just don’t think she was made to be this kind of blonde. Ugh.

Incidentally, I was pleased to hear that Moss has signed on for two more seasons of Mad Men. After last season, I worried that Peggy was being written off the show, but now I’m holding out hope that Don and Peggy will work together again some day.

More photos from the premiere… Paul Rudd looking ageless, Seth Rogen and his wife Lauren Miller, and Russell Simmons and his rent-a-date, whose dress was pretty much see-through.

    I like the cut, but not sure on the color..

    Will always love Paul Rudd, always..

    Seth Rogen’s wife kinda looks like Alyssa Milano to me..

    And is that a pit stain on the non existant dress?

    She was in that AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL excedrin commercial right? I’ve only else seen her in pix and commercials for Mad Men and I definitely thought she was the opposite of attractive (though that previously-mentioned article mightve marred my opinion). However, I think she looks great in these pictures-the best I’ve seen!

    Ew, did that girl not think it was necessary to wear deodorant on a red carpet??
    Gross.

    That blonde colour really brings out her eyes. Lovely.

    She should go 1 or 2 shades lighter, it will be even more flattering.

    There’s something about this girl I have never been able to like. I’m not sure what it is. She’s cute in a way… I kind of like the hair, it brings out her eyes really well. But the other color suited her fine too.

    I don’t like the blonde at all. Also, where is her neck?? Simmons’ date needs to invest in a bra and panties — and a longer dress! That’s ridiculous.

    Elizabeth’s hair color is great.

    But she needs to use more earthy colors for lip stick.

    The shade she is wearing just clashes with her coloring now. It probably looked great with her darker hair. But looks off with the blonde.

    And holy crap.

    When did Russell decide to start taking hookers as red carpet dates?

    Not only is that “date” completely commando under that dress. She has huge pit stains. Was it hot or is that from the speed?

    I do think she tries to compete with January Jones and Christina Hendricks…but always falls a bit short due to the unglamorous character she plays. Nevertheless, she is a damn good actor.

    I have that same yellowish skin (from being half Amer. Indian) as Elisabeth. And I look just as waxy when I try to go blonde. I can do highlights or “bronde” but yellow girls should not be all over blonde. There should be some deliniation between your skin and hair color!

    The blonde color should be 2 shades lighter.

    She needs to drop her shoulders, to make her neck appear longer.

    Simmons – Is he staring at his dates T*ts, or that blaring sweat stain emanating from her pits.

    Simmons date – That is a TOP, not a dress. It’s one thing to have a Rockin Bod, it’s quite another to know how to dress it appropriately.

      Russell Simmons’ date = downgrade, big time. She has a great bod, but that dress is budget. And her face – oh well, at least she has a good figure…
      I think this is the best that Elizabeth has looked in a long time. Very glam sexy, without the January Jones try hard feel. I think strapless would have been a better choice – I hate those wide straps, but I love the lace and fit of her dress. Her shaggy pixie cut is adorable on her :) . I actually like the color – it makes her look fresh and young. Her eyes sparkle!
      Is it terrible to suggest that she might want to get her nose bobbed? It’s hooky – just a tiny, subtle tweak would be perfect.

    Finally, a haircut I can get behind on her. Her hair has always seemed too “old.” Not sure about the color, but it’s better than the drab brown. I bet she would make an awesome redhead.

    She’s pretty but not in a conventional (Hollywood?) way which is good. I’m sick of Barbie looking actresses. Anyway, the shade is fine. She can pull it off but I’m not so sure about the hair cut…mmmmm….

    I love the Cut and The Color and how it brings out her eyes, her face structure, another proof that Miley was trying for this level of whimsy and flattery and FAILED

    She looks cute, in an unconventional way. Paul Rudd, on the other hand, is just flat out adorable!

    She looks gorgeous in the 2nd and 3rd pic. i think someone said it was pretty in a n unconventional hollywood way, and i agree. the dress may not have been the best choice for her but its nice to see her doing something that highlights her great skin and great body.
    russell simmons needs to get his money back for the rent a date.

    I think Elizabeth’s hair is cute and modern, but she needs better shoes; Seth Rogan’s wife is gorgeous and Russell Simmons’ girlfriend would look dreadful even without the obvious sweat-patch.

    Russel’s date… WTF is she wearing!?
    And I like Elizabeth Moss’s hair short. I don’t know about her as a blonde though.

    First thought when someone makes a huge change in color and style…plastic surgery? Did she have a little work done on the nose maybe?

    She looks lovely, but she has never been classicly pretty. It takes guts to go short, so good for her, it’s a nice cut and a departure from the bob. The great thing about hair is it grows back!

    Russell’s date has pit stains, because she’s all ‘oh s**t am I really in this dress?!’ up goes the heart rate, blood pressure, and here comes the sweat. Sorry, girl.

    Suprisingly I really like this color and cut on Elisabeth. Her makeup choice here works really well with the blonde. Seth looks unoriginally stoned. Cripes Russell – I can pretty much see her vadge – what a loser.

    I really like Elisabeth Moss. At first I didn’t think that her new hair was flattering, but after sitting on it and looking at it further…I like it. I think that she’s cute.

    I love Elizabeth’s new cut and color. I think this is the best I’ve seen her look.! On another note, Russell Simmons’ date looks like a pretty girl, who isn’t quite sure how to ‘work it’, and Russell seems like the middle-aged horndog willing to exploit her.

    Very pretty! I think she looks younger and more sophisticated like this. Love the cut.
