As promised, here’s a post about the fashionable ladies of the X-Men: First Class premiere in NYC last night (go here for the post about the dudes). The biggest names amongst the ladies were January Jones, Rose Byrne and Zoe Kravitz. Jennifer Lawrence was a no-show, likely because she’s filming The Hunger Games. So, let’s begin at the beginning, with January Jones and her bump. January wore Preen. I’m kind of meh on the dress, but it’s much better than her pre-pregnancy styles, so good for her. I have to say, I actually really like her hair right now too.
Re: January and whether the baby-daddy is director Matthew Vaughn. There’s a more specific blind item about it, but the whole thing just sounds like the same process of elimination that everybody is doing to get to Vaughn. You can read the blind here – part of me is still hoping that it’s Oliver Platt (who also wasn’t at the premiere, SIDE-EYE!!). In the past few weeks, I’ve been seeing a lot of photos of Vaughn’s wife Claudia Schiffer, and she’s been flying solo at all of the events. We’ll see how it all plays out.
And here’s Zoe Kravitz, wearing a gown by Alexander Wang, with clunky Chanel shoes. The dress isn’t really bad, but I feel like this is a dated look. I saw this exact style – velvet slipdress, clunky shoes – when I was growing up. It’s very early ‘90s.
Rose Byrne wore Marc Jacobs. I’m starting to wonder if Rose’s style is a little bit… off. She’s done some red carpets where I’ve just thought “Damn, she’s a pretty woman, but why is she wearing that?!?” I don’t hate this look, though. And I’m happy to see that she looks like she’s gained some weight too.

I did NOT recognize her at all!! The make up is all kinds of messed up… o_0
Her face looks horrifying… Maybe it’s just the photos, light, something about an evil flesh-eating clown… *shudder*
I would love Rose’s dress if the lace stopped with the lining at her knees
Merski, I thought the same thing. THe make-up is horrible.
Vaughn’s got to be the father. And if he is, that means he was sleeping with JJ when his wife was at home with his newborn, plus Claudia Schiffer was looking scarily skinny at Cannes, maybe due to stress?
Either way, they’re both a pair of dimwits if it’s true.
I guess that SNL fella’s breathing a sigh of relief now………
Her makeup is atrocious.
Zoe Kravitz looks great!
i did not even recognize jones, wth? she looks like she jumped out of the shower with her eyeliner in hand, wrapped herself in a clean towel, found her fugliest shoes, hopped in a cab running 15 minutes late and came to the red carpet…..its gonna be a looonnnng pregnancy for her…..holy crap!
I don’t like January’s dress, especially the hemline. Same with Rose’s dress, it just looks weird with no lining at the bottom.
@Robinson : You really think she looks great? Thats one ugly sack dress she’s wearing.
They all look terrible. Zoe Kravitz looks like she is going to the AVN Awards and the girl in the blue dress looks like she is going to the Royal Wedding reception and is that January Jones? As in Mad Men January Jones? I wouldn’t have known who that is because girlfriend looks like a whole another woman. I mean she is pregnant so I am not gonna bitch about her dress. However she doesn’t look any thing like the January Jones I am used to and the makeup is ghastly.
JJ is not at all attractive. Barf.
holy crap!
she looks like Anna Paquin’s taller, more fug sister!
i think it’s because her nose is beginning to spread from the pregnancy?
i mean like, wtf! 🙁
I didn’t think that was Jones at all. I am so used to her slashy makeup this is way too soft and it makes her look very dull and doughy. Zoe looks great. I don’t know who the Byrne lady is :L
That makeup, oy vey.
OMG, what happened to her?pregnancy doesn’t do her any favors.
Preen makes a very comfortable dress. I am guessing she chose it for that reason. She looks unrecognizable and the dress isn’t the most flattering.
Even though I like the Preen line, I think this is a fail all the way around
I totally thought January Jones was Raccoon McPantless. Not a very good look, makeup wise.
Is Vaughn is indeed the father — I don’t think we will ever any confirmation of that (in case he suddenly divorces, than yes) — are we going to have a “who-is-worse” throwdown between him and Schwarzie here?
@gloaming Exactly what I was thinking. As soon as I saw Claudia at Canned looking almost emaciated I immediately thought of it. It’s got to be him.
Yikes, January, the ‘Cousin It Curtain Hair’ isn’t doing you any favors.
The dress is as fugly as her …
They all look awful. Fail for them all
Nothing is going to happen until AFTER X-men hits theaters the studio has the power to keep everything hush-hush, and everyone including Claudia has a financial interest in keeping this quiet.
I agree. They do all look awful. JJ has me completely baffled. I think she looks beautiful on Mad Men, yet I’ve never seen a good photo of her outside of that show. Strange.
awful red carpet for every one and where is the director? 😛
Like JJ’s hair, hate her face (ah mean) make-up (oops..lol), hate the dress.
I just saw some photos of Claudia Schiffer. She looks unbelievable thin. Sad, really.
I like Zoe’s dress. I love me some velvet…
January’s eye makeup is horrifying though. It reminds me of this one time I asked one of my housemates to do my eyes for me before we went out because she’d spent all day raving about how great her new MaKeUp sKiLLz were. Needless to say, I wound up with electric blue eyeshadow UP TO MY EYEBROWS. I LOOKED LIKE DAME EDNA. But clearly I was just ahead of January’s trend. God, I am so fashion forward.
Rose Byrne looks like Gemma Arterton here
January isn’t anything to fuss over and never will be. Anna Paquin can actually act where Ms Jones can’t
In Madmen January Jones as Betty Draper is strikingly beautiful and elegant in a Grace Kelly kind of way. However in real life I find her unattractive, lacking basic grooming and appearing like she doesn’t know basic hygiene or how to dress herself. She loses all of her allure and beauty for some reason and I don’t think it’s all lights and makeup.
Would love to know what January’s ex’s think. Especially, Josh Groban.
Zoe always looks unkept to me. Velvet…really?
I love Rose Byrne. Cant wait for Damages to return! She does look better since she gained some weight.
January’s hair looks horrible!
Is the baby hiding in her nose?
The recent photos of Claudia Shiffer were horrifying- she looked like a walking corpse on the Cannes red carpet. Not sure if you already covered it, but she looks really, really rough.
Maybe the rumours are true and she’s not handling the stress well- her face is hollow and her eyes are sunken.
January Jones looks horrible here, but she’s pregnant, so I’ll give her a pass….
“JJ is not at all attractive. Barf.”
agree completely. I can’t see anything pretty about her. make up is too harsh, but even w/out it she’s just not that pretty. she reminds of me of Chris “Leave Brittney ALONE!” Crocker.
and her hair here is AWFUL.
I think that what Zach Galifiwhatever said about her (though harsh) was true.
I doubt she’ll have a long or very successful career in HW.
It is baby-daddy style!
Aww Zoe is so pretty…her dress…not so much. It looks like she spilled something on it too.
I usually don’t have any qualms about with whom and how a person decides to procreate. Usually. But with Jones, I find myself suffering from an attack of conventional morality.
Something about her and her pregnancy crawls up my ass.
I think it has to do with the fact that she’s so candid about just having f*cked some dude and is now knocked up. Like the distance between her and some piece of trailer trash on Maury is a primetime TV show. In other words, not much.
January – droopy hair, droopy dress, fugly shoes – why is it so difficult for these women to dress well? Even given that she’s pregnant there are much more flattering outfits to be had.
And Zoe…why the slinky velvet gown and what looks like combat boots?
Zoe Kravitz is cute, normally, but that hairstyle turns her into ugly.
some women’s faces change when they’re pregnant. i’ve seen it happen a lot in my own family. looks like that’s happening to JJ.
@ dread pirate cuervo
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!
LMMFAO LOOOOUD!!!!
thank GOD everyone’s out to lunch! that made me scream… ahhhh, shit. 😆
really weird hair and make-up for ms. jones… she looks like an ugly version daryl hannah.
Here are the pics of Claudia Schiffer at Cannes:

HOLY CRAP.
Schiffer DOES look emaciated. her face look TERRIBLE!
I guess it’s just me, but I don’t find JJ pretty.
Some women get funky looking when preggers and she is one of them! I didnt even know it was her!
Schiffer looks terrible, not so much her weight as her face. She definitely lost her looks. Way to much filler esp between the brows. She looks like a caveman! And those bad yellow teeth. yuck! She was bigger just a yr ago – why so thin now?
We’re absolutely, positively sure it’s JJ? Never in a million years would I have recognized her.
I think the dress is okay and it is nice to see her all pregnancy bloated and not giving a cr@p.
Her hair colour has gone too far of a cool shade though, needs to warm it up.
Dress, hair, make-up it all looks awful. She looks like a ghoul.
I didn´t recognize her!! maybe claudia sent her personal assistant to help her? mwahahaha
she looked good in pics some days ago.
and mcavoy….cute as usual!!
I wonder what she’s gonna do if this baby comes out looking EXACTLY like his/her dad. Mine did…there is no denying her who her father is. But I guess it would only be a big deal depending on the exact reason why she’s keeping it a secret.
Somebody beat me to it.
Bitch looks like Chris Crocker.
