Do you know that it’s taken me THIS LONG to realize that Christina Hendricks was nowhere to be seen at the Golden Globes? She wasn’t nominated for a Golden Globe or a SAG for Best Supporting Actress for Mad Men, which is crime because last season her storyline on Mad Men was amazing and thought-provoking and she killed it. Christina was nominated this year as part of the Mad Men ensemble, but even then she didn’t come out. Now I know what was missing the past few weeks – Hendricks tatas! I miss them. Where art thou, Titsy McGinge?
Anyway, these photos are of the Mad Men cast members who did make it to the SAGs. Let’s begin with the mess that is January Jones. Her dress is Prabal Gurung, a designer that I don’t have a really strong opinion on either way, but this is maybe the worst, the cheapest-looking Gurung dress I’ve ever seen. It’s just poorly designed in total. And January did the dress NO favors with her dystopian hair and her too-heavy makeup. YIKES.
Elisabeth Moss in a subdued and cute Dolce & Gabbana. I like it because she’s not trying to “win” the red carpet, and because she kept it simple. She looks adorable.
Jon Hamm and his girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt. I hope this doesn’t offend the faithful but JESUS H!!!!! Her face is ten kinds of crazy. She looks like she’s trying to morph into Renee Zellweger, right? I swear, the state of Jennifer Westfeldt makes me like Jon Hamm less.
Vincent Kartheiser and his girlfriend, the Lady Lazarus, Alexis Bleidel. He looks old (right?) and she looks like Emily Deschanel. Still, I love that they’re a couple now.
I’m trying not to be a full-on Jessica Pare-hater. It’s not her fault that Megan Draper sucks so hard. But good God! The closeup of just her face startled me. From a distance, in the full-length photo, she looks okay in the green Jason Wu though. It’s not a great dress, but I do like the color.

All I can think is Ziggy Stardust for January and Morticia Adams for the last lady.
You’re right! The Ziggy stardust wig!
Ha Ha Ha I just don’t get the hype about this woman. I just find her plain.
That close-up of Jessica Pare… o_O
And she might be a nice person, but I hate Megan so much that I feel that same hatred every time I see Jessica Pare.
man, she looks rough . ridden hard and hung out wet, eh?
Jessica Pare has one of those faces that can look beautiful or unattractive depending on her make-up, the angle, etc.
What the hell is she wearing?
I can’t help but think the look resembles an infant wearing a bib.
I liked her look. She pulled it off. She looked different from the run-of-the-mill sparkly flesh-coloured mermaid with wavy beach/old Hollywood hair. I like that she mixes it up. Bravo.
You took the words right out of my mouth!
I agree. I can respect that she tried something different, and I enjoyed her effort. She pulled it off nicely.
I sort of like her dress too. It doesn’t look half as bad as other looks from the night.
The make up, though… why the orangy red lipstick? And way too much powder, I’d say.
I really like the dress, at least it’s not boring.
Yikes! That close up of Jessica Paré is SCARY. I love the simplicity of Elizabeth Moss’ look. Okay, I’ve always kind of “defended” Jennifer Westfeldt’s face because its naturally quirky looking but I can really see the tweaking. 0_o
You know what I’ll never understand? Here in Australia, our hair colourists do really really natural looking blonde colouring.
I am yet to see an American girl with a decent, beachy blonde going on. January’s and Hamm’s missus’s blonde is just so BRASSY. Hideous. Do they all buy a ten buck Clairol from the supermarket and do it themselves?
SOMEBODY please explain!
Don’t overstate it love. I see plenty of trashy white bleach blonde round Sydney!
Most celebrities seem to get all their hair dyed whereas regular women would more likely get blonde foils, resulting in the natural variation that us natural blondes are prone to,
Thanks for that Em 😉
Yes I think you are right. January’s all over blonde is what makes it look so brassy as opposed to a few foils chucked in.
I am blonde and I have to stay away from any warm tones as they all turn brassy or red on me. I can only use cool tones. Wonder if it isn’t the same with some of these ladies. Just a thought.
Go look at the former Mrs. Russell Crowe and tell me all Aussie blonds look natural and have depth to their hair color.
Yeah no. She looks like a member of a hair metal band.
Here in LA, real women of a certain income or of a certain credit card limit have great natural looking highlights. They either have them painted on or use foils or both.
My guess is Jon Hamm’s girl is a natural very dark brunette. There is only so much one can do when someone wants to totally change her hair color. Natural dark brunettes as blonds usually end up brassy and natural blonds/redheads going too dark end up looking goth.
Can’t wait for mad men to come back!!!!!!!!!
That said, January looks awful. Elizabeth looks perfect, She may be the only Scieno I can stomach. Hamm doesn’t look great in these photos. And Jessica’s close up is just awful but I like the long shot of her.
Side note- Jennifer W looks exactly like that episode of Family Guy where they are making fun of Renee Zellweger not being leading lady material and should stick to being the cute best friend.
I love Jon Hamm’s expression in all the photos – he’s all, “what the hell is wrong with this chick” just like the rest of us, lol!
I feel a breakup for these two in 2013. They’ve been together a long time – I think it’s one of those things where she’s like family at this point and since his parents passed when he was young – that can just become a thing, you know. But that face! I just couldn’t with that face.
yup. I co-sign this one!
And…she is wearing a ring on the left hand again! Remember when the last batch of pictures were posted and she had it on her left hand, and then by the second photograph it was gone. It just seems odd. I mean, if my husband didn’t want to get married and I accepted that, I wouldn’t wear a ring on my left hand, knowing it would stir the pot, so to speak.
PS why all the hate for Jessica Westerfeldt’s face? I think she is cute. Okay, she isn’t a glamazon super model, but she is a talented writer and producer. And okay, she botoxes a bit too much, but is that even note-worthy in hollywood anymore? Does every wife have to either be A. A supermodel or B. A a bit frumpy and inoffensive (see Hugh Jackman’s perfectly lovely wife)
It’s because even just a few years ago, she was lovely – she had wrinkles and natural looking skin. She’s only 42 but now she looks 60, easily, just because she’s SO pumped with filler/botox.
I do agree there can be a double standard (i.e., no one should have wrinkles OR look like they’ve had obvious work) however, I think most people here at CB prefer wrinkles to chicken cutlet cheeks and cat eyes.
That’s exactly it GiGi. The dislike is for how overly toxed she looks now as opposed to a few years ago.
I actually wonder if she’s taking steroids or something else that would make her face look puffy. Why would anyone chose to look like this? She was really cute before. It’s sad.
i hate that shes stuck like she is one of the cast.
her hair isn’t natural
her face isn’t natural
she is not natural and not belong in Hollywood maybe Bollywood
Because she suddenly looks like the clone of Lisa from RHOBH?
Oh and it’s JENNIFER not JESSICA.
I think she probably has a little of the same problem I have — we look CRAZY and/or unattractive in photos. But I think she looks pretty cute in motion. She appeared on Children’s Hospital last season, and I thought she was quite pretty and likable.
I usually love January Jones (I know I am alone in this), and I’ve excused or actually liked a lot of her odd fashion choices, but this . . .there’s just no making this good. The hair, the makeup, the dress – it’s all just one big no.
Elisabeth Moss looks simple, great, and beautiful. Power to her!
Jessica Pare looks astoundingly bad. She used to look really beautiful to me, especially when she didn’t show her teeth (okay, that was nasty), but she just seems off here. And sorry to say this, but either the bottom of that dress is remarkably unflattering, or she has put on a lot of weight in the off-season. I’m not saying she’s fat at all, but that dress just does nothing for her.
I’m a January fan, too. But his look is no good.
First, if you are going to wear red lipstick. Get your teeth bleached.
Nearly every female who had red lipstick on…. wore a red with a yellow undertone. So it just made everyone’s teeth look bad.
I will never understand why January does not use the stylist from Mad Men, to dress her for events.
The same with Christina Hendricks.
Because it seems that the stylist from that show, truly have talent with making women look their very best.
I blame the awful eye makeup on peer pressure. 🙂 And being bullied by makeup artist, who are determined to paint these girls up to look old and tired.
Yes yes yes. Christina and January need the MM stylists to do them for every red carpet event ever.
I agree, they both look great on the show but often a mess on the red carpet.
It’s true. They really look great on “Mad Men.”
i always feel bad when i see pics of the hamm’s girlfried – her face just looks so painfully tight. i’m afraid it would crack if she really tried to smile.
On Mad Men January looks as flawless and graceful and beautiful as Grace Kelly — but she loses all those qualities in real life. She’s very pretty but she looks awful. Her hair, her makeup, her gown – all wrong! I guess I just want Betty Draper on the red carpet, not January Jones!
Alexis looks cute and her and Vincent are a cute couple but I hate her bangs – they make her look sort of dowdy.
Ugh Jessica’s hair/makeup/gown are all
kinds of bad. I hope her role on this season of MM is downplayed. Less Megan more bad boy Don. please!!
I feel like that about the entire cast, really, except for Moss, who I think looks better as herself, not as Peggy.
January Jones, Hammdong, Christina Hendricks, Jessica Pare, Vincent Kartheiser, even Peyton List–all of them look better as their Mad Men characters. Very strange….
Now that you mention it, yes they all look better on the show. It’s either incredible hair/makeup team or the lighting guy should win an award!
I agree with the women. I love women’s early 60s fashion but I find the men’s clothes very aging.
FYI: I always thought Pete Campbell looked old.
There are some homely women in those pictures.
JJ is supposed to be beautiful? I don’t get it. And lately her eyebrows are looking really big and brown and her hair looks super brassy lately.
‘Dystopian hair’. Haha. My first thought was Dieter from Sprockets.
why is she wearing a Har Gau on her dress?!
it’s making me hungry!
btw: har gau (crystal dumplings)
http://www.google.com/search?q=har+gau&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&tbm=isch&oq=har+gau&gs_l=img
also her hair, the golden mantou
( http://www.flickr.com/photos/azchael/2071058787/ )
goodness, she’s a full dim sum with extra mullet.
i love it!
January Jones has worn her hair like that before. Why, for the love of god, why repeat the fiasco?? But how cute do Vincent Kartheiser and Alexis Bledel look together?
Aww Conner and Rory look rather cute together.
Aww, they really do
God the close up is so horrible, but from a distance her dress and make up were good.
Oh and I’m happy for Alexis, she’s just too lovely.
how do you make someone thin look extra chunky on the bottom?
jason wu.
january jones uses makeup people that certainly hate her. did they fill her brows in with navy blue?
January Jones looks like a plain girl who’s had a lot of professional help getting ready, with her hair and makeup like that, which given she actually looks like a lite version of Grace Kelly is startling. Really weird. How can you make someone with such regular, conventionally perfect features look so angular, and with too large a nose for her face?
Jessica Pare looks like a Disney villain, and that dress doesn’t fit her! She’s got a much more lovely figure.
Don Draper is hot but Jon Hamm isn’t. It is amazing how some made and a comb can completely change a man’s appeal.
Totally agree with this.
John Hamm looks either sick or he was boozing it up too much lately.
I used to think the other way around. The Don Draper clothes and Brillcreme scream “old dude” BUT now I don’t think Jon is hot either. He needs to work out or something. He looks poufy.
I quite like January’s dress. The hair and makeup not so much. Off topic but I wonder why she will not be returning to the X-Men movie? Thoughts.
She was horrid?
She was the one bad thing about the movie?
I kind of like January’s look. She always goes for something different.
Elizabeth looks good, and I like Alexis’ dress but not her hair.
Oh Jessica, the makeup!
January’s dress reminds me of a bib, and I didn’t like her hair.
Jennifer’s face looks like it always does, don’t get the surprise. Not a big fan of her dress either.
At this point, I don’t care so much if Jan Jo looks like a total mess…at least she does something different! It’s so boring, we need more risks.
I think January looks great. Love the David Bowie hair.
THOSE TEEFS!
what’s up with Westfield’ s face? cheek implants? something off with the lips? wth .
January Jones… What in the Annie Lennox hell????
January Jones was so, so stunning as Betty Draper the first few seasons, I can never understand why, when she is not Betty she doesn’t look nearly as stunning?
Elisabeth Moss looks adorable even though it is a bit boring of a look.
Yikes!!!! Jessica Pare looks TERRIBLE. I think it’s great she is Canadian and wore a Canadian designer but the dress doesn’t fit her and makes her body look all effed up. And that closeup almost sent me running.
Alexis and Vincent look adorable and so cute together.
Jon Hamm looks good as usual and his girlfriend/life partner looks so tight and squeaky in the face, it looks like it must hurt.
January Jones is gonna meet Matthew Vaughn at the Lobster Shack after the show. That’s why she’s wearing that white bib. Get the all you can eat special, Jan! And the child support hush money check!
That Jessica chick needs to work out.
I like Elisabeth Moss’ dress, but her eye makeup is not flattering. It looks like she lined the inside of her eyes all around.
Is January secretly married or engaged?… She’s wearing a band on her ring finger. May mean nothing but maybe I missed some gossip??
Sweet fancy Moses, that close-up of Jessica Pare should come with more strident warnings. I was scrolling down, and eeeeeek!
Kartheiser looks stoned to the bejeebers.
Dang, all of those dresses, hairdos and makeup are horrible.
Jennifer Westfeldt’s hair looks pretty, shiny, and bouncy – and the color is flattering. Points for good hair!
Pete Campbell’s hairline and weight gain are for the show – he said so in an interview after Season 5 wrapped – thank God ya because that hair is UNFORTUNATE!
January Jones always shocks me by how pretty she is as Betty and how not pretty she is in real life.
Jennifer Westfeld has an over pulled face and jowls – how does that happen?
Jessica Pare – see comment about January and add; they look ridiculous in real life. They are made up for the camera. If done right, it does wonders for your photos. In my 20s I had the world’s best CDL photo. That was so worth going out in public like the ghost hooker zombie from hell.
