January Jones goes dark brunette: is it flattering & does it change her whole look?

Here are some new photos of January Jones out and about with her blonde (!) baby Xander yesterday in Pasadena. Did you even recognize her? I didn’t! January is showing off her newly darkened hair… I don’t think I’ve ever seen her as a brunette before. She’s usually a blonde – early in her career, she was more of a dirty blonde or honey blonde, and then earlier this year January went red for a film role. But I’m looking at her IMDB right now, I don’t see why she would have gone brunette for another role… she doesn’t have any films in preproduction.

There is a minor theory I have… the new season of Mad Men is already filming, and while the Betty character has definitely taken a backseat, it seems like the writers are really mixing it up when we do see Betty. Maybe Betty goes brunette? Last season it was all about “Fat Betty” so maybe the next season will be all about “Brunette Betty”. “Brown Betty”? Who is Betty if she’s not an icy blonde?

January will probably have to go back to blonde soon enough either way… everyone assumes that she will be back as Emma Frost for the next X-Men movie, along with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender (sigh). Guess who is not coming back? The director of X-Men: First Class, Matthew Vaughn. COUGH COUGH COUGH. Deadline reported several weeks ago that Vaughn “decided not to direct the sequel” after what I can only guess was his wife Claudia Schiffer’s objections. COUGH. But! Vaughn was working on the script, and it’s believed that Bryan Singer will rejoin the X-Men franchise to direct X-Men: Days of Future Past, set for a 2014 release.

PS… I think Xander is an adorable baby. Yes, I think January is probably the queen of ice-cold vanilla bitchery in real life, but I want to believe that she’s a good mom. Xander seems quite taken with her! Also: I kind of think Xander looks like Tom Hardy. RIGHT?

    She looks like Amber Heard now. And yes, her baby is adorable!

    I hope she hasn’t left Mad Men because I can’t imagine why Betty would ever dye her hair.

    I have been wondering why NO ONE talks or speculates anymore about Xander’s paternity!
    It is 100% Matthew Vaughn, no question, without a doubt. Unfortunately for the whole secrecy plan, the kids looks identical to him and similar to his other children.

    Considering that they’re filming “Mad men” right now, it means Betty goes brunette, to look more like Don Draper’s current wife maybe?

      I would love that nuance in the story line.

      I figured she was done filming Betty’s appearances for the season and went brunette to give her hair a break from bleaching.

      In other photos with her root growth showing, her natural hair color is medium brown.

    That baby is so Matthew Vaughn’s. I called it from the minute he put out that ridiculous statement saying he wasn’t the father.

    Her red carpet style has been so off lately, this is actually the best I’ve seen her looking in while. I’ll reserve judgment on the hair until I see her at an event. I still think Michael Vaughn is her baby daddy.

    Wasn’t Tom Hardy single, or at least not legal married to anyone else he was dating, when JJ got pregnant? If he was the baby daddy — I don’t think their would have been a reason to be publicly squirrelly about the father’s identity.

    She looks really good, but I think that’s because she did her eyebrows, too. I guess Betty undergoes another transformation. Although, this one is interesting considering Megan is also brunette. But, I think the later 60s were more about darker hair in all the magazines.

    Anyway, her baby has such a little man face!

      Got to give her props. This is the best I’ve seen her look in a while. The jeans, boots and top look great. Not sure about the hair color. It might be too dark for her skin tone.

      That baby is Vaugh’s no question. This is like the Kstew Rupert Sanders situation, director steps down from film to save marriage and avoid more scandal. The truth will come out soon enough probably when the franchise is done. At least she is being mature about it compare to bratty Kstew. She does seem to be a good Mom I will give her that much.

    The hair color isn’t doing her any favors in these pictures. Doesn’t look like the color is “Ash” enough for her skin- too warm and too dark.
    She’s a weird actress.

    OK just within the 30ish comments posted so fare, there have already been 4-5 different men listed as the potential father. Is this for real? At that point of her conceiving, did she really have about that many “suitors” at the same time? SMH!

      I think the general consensus is that Michael Vaughn is the Papi. That statement that he released at the time was what sealed it for me. Someone up thread mentioned that it’s a Kstew style sitch but I don’t agree. I think Claudia told him to fix up and stay away from her hence why he’s no longer attached to the new X men film because to my knowledge he had all but signed on the dotted line.

      Ok so she was officially dating Sudekis…she filmed a movie with Vaughn (the father) I think most of the other names above are jokes but she was also involved with (married) Bobby Flay some claim that her ex Ashton Kutcher is the dad.
      Logically speaking the dad is someone who is married hence the secrecy.
      I am telling you its Vaughn.

    Vaughn is the father of that lil boy.

    I thought Claudia was going to lose it, while they were fooling around.

    I heard that she keeps someone on set that tells her everything he does.

    Its unfortunate that the father of this child cannot claim him.

    jut beleive that he is not a test tube kid and his dad is not “single”

      How can anyone live like that? I mean being that insecure? How sad. I would rather be divorced and deal with all that mess than not be secure in my marriage. I mean a little jealousy is healthy from time to time but having a spy on set? That is freaking small town crazy girl stuff. What a loser she is to be that way.

    Love the color! But I prefer brunette to blonde anyway. Even if I’m biased, I think it’s really flattering to her and will surely make her eye color stand out.

    Dunno why peeps keep saying this kid looks like Matthew V or his daughter. It just isn’t there.

    I totes see ASHTON KUTCHER. Concieved when he was still with cray cray demi. She said the last straw with her fragile grip of sanity would be if he admitted to fathering Jans child. Demi even suggested Jan get an abortion. See, she’s sensitive about her own dried up ovaries.
