Did January Jones lose her style mojo? Because this is the second awards show in a row where she has looked absolutely terrible. January wore this Schiaparelli couture gown which… I mean, come on. It’s dated – it looks like a (bad) gown from the 1950s. It’s bridesmaid-y, also from a 1950s wedding. It’s poorly designed and unflattering. And so now I’m wondering… does January’s stylist hate her?
Kiernan Shipka in Erdem. I love this and I love her. Such a cutie.
Jessica Pare in Kaufman Franco. Why does this annoy me so much? I think it’s because Pare annoys me as an actress, and I’m annoyed that she came to the SAGs when she was barely in the last season of Mad Men, and she’s trying to wring the last drops of attention out of this gig. Also, the dress is taffeta, right? SO BAD.
Julie Bowen in Kaufman Franco. Julie either doesn’t care about the red carpet or she does care and has zero clue about how to style herself. This look is more boring than bad. Zzzz…
Much like Kate Winslet, Sofia Vergara just sticks to same two or three silhouettes and I’m kind of fine with that. She knows what looks good on her body and she’s not adventurous. It happens. So, for Sofia’s “style rut” fashion, I’m okay with this hot-pink Vera Wang. It’s a good version of something we’ve seen on Sofia many times before. I even like the pop of that statement necklace.

January doesn’t seem to own a full length mirror. It’s awful.
Maybe she owed the designer a favor.
Or she’s the new Andrex puppy
Is that a belly button I see through January’s dress?
You can also see her nipples.
yuck!
I thought it was just the way that ugly dress was designed. There’s enough material on it to make two new dresses.
LOL
I bet her stylist hates her! Everyone knows that she’s a bitch. I can totally imagine him/or her like “The dress looks gorgeous on you, it makes you look super skinny, honey!” 😀
Kiernan looked amazing. I love her dress.
I don’t think Amanda needed more makeup. She looks good as it is.
Vergara’s dress is nice, but that’s the ugliest colour in existence. Yuck yuck yuck. The necklace makes it look even more tacky. She also looks better with dark hair.
I loved Kiernan’s dress, too.
Normally I don’t like the color of Sofia’s dress. I could never wear it, I’m too pale. But I kind of love it on her with that necklace. She has the right coloring and she’s dramatic and va-vroom, and so she can wear all that brightness. I call it a win.
The rest, no. Especially January’s. She too pale for that color and the style is hideous.
I actually think that colour would look less awful on someone either a lot paler or a lot darker than Sofia. Either Rooney’s or Lupita’s coloring.
Did January tick someone off? These last couple of dresses are awful.
Shipka looked amazing. Gown would have worked better shorter tho
Well, Lainey was wrong, January still has pull. That dress just went down the couture runways 10 seconds ago.
Kiernan had the best showing of the MM ladies though.
But look at it. And is Schiaparelli that big of a ‘get’? I actually like January and her style, and liked that she would wear offbeat stuff.
The brand is olde but its heyday was in the 1st half of the 20th century, but did she have to pick THAT when the latest collection is simply amazing?
Schiaparelli not being a get….are you kidding? Schiaparelli is a classic and pedigree. Like Chanel or Balenciaga especially because it hasn’t gone mass market like those labels. Mind you this is a bad example of the label, but it’s incredibly fashiony and i think more of her fashionista sense than everybody walking down that red carpet.
I’m familiar with Schiaparelli, my question is about access. We know there are different levels of ‘gets’ – getting a fresh off the runway Chanel is different from getting a fresh off the runway Elie Saab, you know? I mean, I’ve even seen Debra Messing wear stuff straight off the runway well after her Will & Grace days.
Side note, I wonder how it works when you get something like that. Stylists so frequently have multiple options, but if they get something specially like that are they agreeing to wear it?
She’s not high up the food chain to get the best dress, especially so close to the Oscars. But the fact that she can still get a couture gown that quickly speaks volumes about her place in that world. Granted, not many actresses in film or TV have the ability sell with her face and body, so she’s still in a good position.
“but did she have to pick THAT when the latest collection is simply amazing?”
this! schiaparelli’s couture collection has some wonderful and different dresses, the one january jones wore was one of the worst.
I think January Jones is stunningly beautiful (though she is not a good actress). However, I can’t think of a single good thing to say about that dress. How could someone who probably had a choice of several designer gowns point to that monstrosity and say “Yup. That’s the one.” Her hair and make-up are awful too. I also think she’s put on some weight recently – I don’t mean that in a bad way at all, just an observation.
Kiernan is the only one here who looks good. I would remortgage the house to buy that dress!
Maybe she’s pregnant and she’s trying to hide it, or maybe she’s self-conscious about gaining weight and trying to hide her shape.
I agree
I think JJ is a very good actress.
Yeah, I like her too. Probably mostly for Betty Draper but I thought she was great in Mad Men
I agree. I loved her on Mad Men
At first I thought she might have gained weight, too, but when you look closer at her torso she’s still slim. I think the dress and the hair and makeup create that illusion. The hair is the most egregious part of a really bad look for her. I think she’s a really good actress, she was consistently amazing as Betty Draper. She stole scenes with her subtlety, imo.
I love Shipka’s look and Pare looks lovely. She doesn’t bug me as much as she does other people!
This might be the best I’ve seen Julie B look in a long time.
Sure, JJ is still slim, but compared to how very skinny she was on Mad Men, I do think she’s put on some weight. As to her acting abilities, I think JJ was OK as Betty Draper because she looked the part so very well, and because she was basically playing herself. Still, I often wonder what a better actress could have done with that role, instead of just making her a cold-hearted narcissist.
In anything else I’ve seen her in – such as ‘Unknown’ or ‘X Men’ – JJ has been simply awful. I very much doubt she’ll have much of a career now that Mad Men is over.
Except that she’s already on another tv show -Last Man on Earth, which is great and she’s great on it. As for the ridiculous “playing herself” argument, do you accuse Jon Hamm of just playing himself on Mad Men? Because he’s got much more in common with Don than she does with Betty.

When I saw the header pic at first I thought January Jones was Kristen Wiig
I wonder if the designers just held back their best dresses for Oscar; because the Bigger named celebs were not attending. I think too many of these dresses can not be the best they have to offer.
January’s dress is wearing her instead of her wearing it, and it is swallowing her up. The hair ages her.
Kiernan is one of my favorites of the night. She’s sixteen and flawless in it. The fit on her is beautiful in the bodice. The dress is effortless on her when so many women in their outfits look like they are trying so hard or the fit of a gown is off or not flattering. But hers is just so pretty on her. The lines and flow of the dress are beautiful as is the pattern in the gown.
Yes. My daughter is 16 too and she would look darling in that dress. Perfect.
I agree. Kiernan’s dress is absolutely perfect, as well as unique.
I agree
I agree. Kiernan could be a fashion girl
Kiernan your post-Mad Men extreme diet is going too far.
JJ’s is kinds too ‘big’ for her to pull off – maybe on someone else it would have been better.
Sofia V’s dress, love the colour and the style suits her but the neckline turned the dress from classy to low down. She needs to stop stooping inward as if she’s trying to hide her breasts.
That Erdem dress was v cute – they are a brand that is growing on me thou not all celebs can carry it off.
Kiernan Shipka FTW!
I mentioned above that I think JJ has gained weight (not in a bad way at all). Now Im wondering if Sofia has lost weight? Her arms and shoulders look thinner than usual.
I also think JJ gained weight — or is either pregnant. Sofia looks ridiculous with those huge boobs — did she get them redone and upsized?
Kiernan looks cute but I still think that dress is a bit too old for her, maybe if it were shorter. She is so young, now is the time to engage in youthful, fun, crazy stuff you will look crazy in later!
I also wonder if Sofia lost weight. She looks thinner, but her boobs still look huge, which makes me question if they’re real….
this
I don’t dislike Sofia’s gown on her. At least she is wearing something that flatters her unlike others, even if it is predictable, but the hot pink clutch is too much.
Jessica looks stunning, didn’t need the centre split. Otherwise love it.
Sofia looks so happy!! Kiernan is lovely too.
Yes. She and Joe are a great couple
I saw January’s dress on her instagram and it looked really pretty – floaty and sheer. But in all the other pictures it looks terrible.
The colour is great on her
I don’t think January has ever worn anything that I thought was great, but I miss her as Betty Draper. She just has the look. I think she’s so gorgeous.
Kiernan regularly brings it. She has the greatest age-appropriate style.
I personally thought this was the best of Sofia’s red carpet looks ever. The color and the side part are stunning on her.
Yes. Jones’s look on Mad Men is one of her best
Jessica annoys me to no end. I count her first major appearance on Mad Men as being the day the show went on a decline. She is unwatchable.
+100000
Kiernan looks so cute here, I love the dress.
MY BEST (in no particular order)
Helen Mirren
Rachel McAdams
Viola Davis
Kiernan Shipka
Lily Rabe
WORST:
Julianne Moore
Nicole Kidman
Joanne Froggatt
Gwen Christie
Sophia Vergara (for the colour)
Poor Gwen Christie. It’s not easy for her to find a dress, she’s so tall
Personally, I think January is a handful with an attitude and doesn’t listen to anyone. That’s how a person with so much wealth and access ends up in something so terrible. Arrogance and refusal to take sound advice.
I agree with with Kaiser’s commentary about Jessica P. I can’t understand how she gets to be an actress at all. Worse thing that ever happened to Mad Men. She is to Mad Men what Megan Boone is to the Blacklist: an important catalyst for the action surrounding the male lead, but performed by a woefully miscast and under-talented actress.
I’m still amazed that Sofia and Joe are married!! I’m not a fan of either of them (nor do I dislike them for any reason, I’m just not too familiar with their work) but they look so, so nice together. Physically they really fit, and she’s always smiling with him. He looks blissed out.
+1000 I hate Jessica on Mad Men
I think Julie Bowen looks great. Would much rather see a pulled together look like this than the schlumpy, uncoordinated look of Amanda Peet.
January Jones: ?????????
bad dress but good colour for Jones
Jessica Pare is in BROOKLYN so she has 2 reasons to be at the SAGs.
I didn’t know that, glad she is getting work. I know I’m in the minority but I also thought she was an important part of the Mad Men ensemble, even though she mostly took a back seat last season.
Her role in the movie was very very small.
She isn’t a good actress IMO
That Erdem dress is alright. Whenever I hear the name Erdem now, all I can picture is that hideous gown that Duchess Kate wore to the 100 Women in Hedge Funds Gala.
I don’t know if it’s just the two pictures combined, but does Sofia Vergara look like she’s trying to pose alone then Joe comes in and is too close, makes the shot awkward and they have to pose together?? #purespeculation
HA, that’s totally what I thought! She’s trying to pose solo but Joe wants to still have his arm around her.. awkward!
When I was little we would play fashion designer using my mom’s old bridesmaid dresses (the horror of polyester has never left me) and bedsheets. I made a gown out of bedsheets and tulle that was better fitted than January’s dress.
Jones looks like an aqua roll of toilet paper.
But Sophia Vergara (who I usually can’t stomach) looks amazing. I thonk she’s had a face lift… and ALSO like (in that first picture) she had her top two ribs removed.
Oh oh, Sofia Vergara’s face is starting to look very tight.
[*Quit while you’re ahead*]
YES THIS! I was watching a rerun of Modern Family the other day and it was so clear to me how much work Sofia has had done. You don’t notice right out because a lot (read: hair cut, color, acting over the top now) has changed but her face used to move….and look completely different.
I don’t like January or Jessica’s dresses. Kiernan and Julie both look great! I don’t see anything wrong with the Julie’s , it’s the SAG awards, not the Oscars. Sofia, same old same old.
Kiernan looks amazing!!! Not a fan of Jessica but she is beautiful. I like her dress too.
I love Sofia Vergara. She always wears the same thing, I don’t care though. That dress doesn’t look like it fits very well on her bust. I love the colour though, it’s bright and youthful. She looks gorgeous 🙂
That dress January is wearing…Oh dear. Looks too baggy AND bulky, it doesn’t fit well. Too bulky on the shoulders.
January’s dress is too big for her and that awful shade again — no one I have seen wear that color looks good in it.
Sofia showed up in the right color, right style, and with the right accessories — Joe. Yep, they look like a million bucks.
Yeah… Joe is the best accessory
LOL
January Jones’ dress could have been retro cool if it was made to fit her frame. Classic case of the dress wearing the person. It was overwhelming her.
This. was ill fitted
WHAT is going on with January’s armpit in the second picture?!
I prefer the outfits of the five ladies in the stands, to the upper right of January in the first photo. The fans taking pictures of the actresses on their iPhones look better than half the people actually walking the red carpet.
January’s dress is beautiful, especially the back. It looks like cotton candy. And it’s far more couture than that ugly versace dress Brie Larson wore. I also think K Shipka’s dress is far more of a dowdy bridesmaids dress.
Larson’s dress was vulgar and trashy

The colour of Jones’s dress was nice but the dress is a no

Pare wasn’t good
Manganiello is so hot!

Kiernan is lovely
I don’t know if JJ has taken a break and allowed herself to gain some weight, which is totally fine. But part of me wonders if she isn’t pregnant. She’s always been very thin.
January’s dress is ugly as heck but it did remind me of Kim Basinger’s ’98 Oscars green dress which I loved: http://www.ottawacitizen.com/entertainment/movie-guide/cms/binary/2598573.jpg?size=640×420
Why don’t they just wear elegant, nice dresses anymore? They have fashion designers at their feet, and yes I know wearing a loaned dress they are limited by choice, but I would seriously just go to a vintage store and pick something up rather than wear some of these monstrosities.
Kiernan Shipka is so cute! I look forward to see her in more movies and projects!
Jessica Pare also had a sizeable-ish role in Brooklyn. So not totally coming out of left field for her to be there.
I think January always looks awful on red carpets, and this is no exception.
Jessica Pare is also part of the Brooklyn cast. She plays Saoirse Ronan’s boss.
Kiernan is the best dressed of the MM girls here, as usual.
January Joens doesn’t have the gravitas to pull off a Schiaparelli couture gown. It’s a beautiful dress, but not on her. She looks like the Statue of Liberty.
Sofia looks like Malibu Barbie.
