These are some photos of two blonde girls at last night’s Metropolitan Opera opening of Jules Massenet’s Manon. The event was sponsored by Yves Saint Laurent, and as such, many of the ladies wore YSL for the event. Both Amber Heard and January Jones chose YSL, although it feels like these dresses were designed by radically different designers. One is almost too covered up, and the other seems too “bombshell” for an opera opening.
I have to say, I’ve become much more impressed with January lately. She really doesn’t seem so full of herself since she had little Xander, and she comes across as a much nicer person now that she’s a mom. I can’t say that I’m cosigning all of her fashion choices lately, but she’s keeping it interesting. Considering her body bounced back really quickly after she gave birth, I wouldn’t mind if she showed off more skin, you know? She’s only 34 years old. She doesn’t have to dress like a nun.
As for Amber Heard… this girl is so sexy. She’s only 25 years old, and she’s a chameleon on the red carpet. Sometimes I think she looks like Scarlett Johansson. Sometimes she looks like Agyness Deyn. Sometimes it’s a combination of a million other celebrities. I like Amber’s YSL dress more than January’s, but it’s difficult to make Amber look bad.

I still don’t get January Jones’ appeal. She’s not that pretty and she has such a nasty reputation; I don’t watch Mad Men, but she must be good on that. maybe?
She is clearly the worst actress on the show, IMO.
I think January is great as Betty Draper Francis.
In the same way that an actual ACTOR would have ruined the role of Neo in The Matrix whilst Keanu’s dead-behind-the-eyes approach worked perfectly, JJ is great as Betty simply because the character’s raison d’être is ice cold aloofness.
In everything else, mind, she’s awful.
Agreed. She is Betty Draper.
Yep! I can’t stand Betty Draper but Jones is perfect for the role. I was amazed at how awful she was on SNL.
I agree. Jones’s looks are average at best, and her acting isn’t much better. Amber is gorgeous, though.
Betty Draper looks like Grace Kelly. January Jones is average at best. Those make up artists on the Mad Men set rock. I was surprised when I first saw her in the X-Men movie. I was like “OMG!! JJ is not that pretty!”
Amber looks gorgeous.
Agreed!!!! She’s just a knockout on so many levels, and man oh man she can work any dress without it becoming “The Leg”
I agree
i like both dresses.
i’m not feeling either dress for an opening night at the MET, but i guess january’s would be more appropriate for the occasion?
Amber is sooo sexy and beautiful 🙂
Why was the question of who looked better even a header Kaiser? Poor January never stood a chance.
Amber Heard is Scarlett Johansson 2.0 to me.
I don’t like both of the dress, January’s doesn’t fit well. Amber’s looks a lil cheap.
I agree and surely she’s less of a smug c*nt than Scarlett…
From the header photo I thought it was scarlett johansen.
I totally thought Amber was Scarlett from the header picture as well! Sexy Scarlett though, not the one of the last few years…
I think she is ten tons prettier than Scarlett. Much nicer body too. Oh and personality as well, I’m guessing.
ScarJo wishes she was Amber Heard!
January’s dress looks tacky and matronly. Amber’s has a great cut, good drape, and fits her better than a sack. So, yeah– no contest.
I co-sign this post. January’s dress would not be so bad if she removed the sleeves and the ridiculous cowl-neck. The cut out at the back is cool though, but not enough to save this dress.
I’m also getting a Sharon Stone vibe from Amber.
I would go gay for Amber any day of the week. But please please don’t compare her to ScarJo,she is a God damn mess. Whatever appeal she used to have is long gone.
It’s like I’ve seen so much of Jones, but I can’t even remember her face or picture her with my eyes closed. She’s not pretty nor ugly enough to register in my mind. Heard all the way.
Amber for the win!! until i saw that rouching on the train of the dress.
P.s Scar-jo is sooo 2006
@Rachel me too. I just started mad men on Netflix and i think JJ is great at Betty Draper as well. I am sure much of Betty is really just January BUT i just watched the episode where Betty decides to go back to modeling and the neighbor threatens to shoot the dog. AND THEN after being rejected and back at home she takes the BB gun out back and starts shooting the pigeons…. priceless. In almost anyone elses hands it could have been campy but her it was a cold hard message of dont ever threaten my children again without any words.
Tacky–Amber’s Target-bought silicone pasty stick-on boob thing is showing. A peek in the mirror at all angles is a MUST if you wear revealing dresses like this. But at least she is wearing something to prevent headlights. I thank her for that.
They both look great.
I don’t care for either dress. But If I had to choose one I suppose I’d pick Ambers.
Amber is what ScarJo aimed for and never got.
Amber Heard. Always.
January Jones is just a pretty, normal-looking woman. Amber sizzles.
I just noticed Amber’s sideboob shot. Is that her stick-on bra? That’s unfortunate. But she still gets my vote. Always.
I read the title and was like, seriously? I knew Amber had this before I even saw the pictures. JJ looks matronly and homely to me; Amber is sexy.
They both look good but I personally love January Jones’s dress. So demure yet sexy-and she looks really happy too
Amber is so gorgeous, I just wish she’d cool it with the porn-ish expressions.
Amber. No contest. January is beautiful but she often ruins beautiful clothes with her terrible body language. She doesn’t own the spotlight, she fades from it.
Amber Heard is a total knockout. I don’t watch MadMen (I should. I know), but January Jones has always bugged me. Still, she’s gorgeous too. She just doesn’t take the cake here.
