Yay or Nay: January Jones Wears Hot Pink

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday October 29, 201284 comments

I love vintage clothing and am a known thrifter, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Mad Men is one of my favourite shows. With so many shots of beautiful and well made vintage styles, that show is a feast for the eyes! 

One of my favourite characters is Betty, played by the gorgeous January Jones. January has impeccable style and grace so I was surprised to see her take such a wrong turn with this outfit.

It's not really a terrible ensemble, it's just so not working for her. I think Ms. Jones took a risk with this hot pink playsuit and I don't think it paid off. She went with a nod to mod peter pan collar and 60's inspired eye makeup and hair. Since you know how much I appreciate old school styles, you'd expect that I'd be all over this, but I just don't think it suits her.

The colour is too brash on her skin, the silhouette swallows up her slim frame and the makeup is a little overdone for her features. She is so naturally pretty, it totally overtakes her face. All I notice are those huge fake lashes! 

What do you think of this look? Is it a yay or a nay? Leave a comment below with your vote by November 4th and you could win!

That colour is absolutely STUNNING! However, I really don't like the dress. It's such an awkward cut for her body.

Nay, I think the color was a bold and young looking choice but the shape of the outfit is not very flattering.

Nay. I dont like the shape of it. I like the color but its too high, too boxy and too much shoulder pads.

Nay! she looks good in hot pink, but the style of the dress not good, the dress needs to be fitted maybe more to it not so plain looking. i dont think anyone could pull that dress off, maybe change the neck line and the sleeves and then maybe it would be a nice dress!

Nay! The color is fine but the dress has no shape, and the sleeves and neckline are awful!
