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!

Nay....makes her face look to pink. She needs something a little less bright.

No. No no no. This look is an assault on fashion. The style clashes with the dress which clashes with her body type.
Big fat nay.

Nay for me. The colour is a little too bright for my taste and I'm not a fan of the dress. I think the colour would have worked if it was done minimally (had a clutch in that colour) but to have a whole dress hot pink is too much.

I must say I really don't know. I like the dress and the colour and I am not sure if it works on her or not! It is not a colour I would wear!!
