My mom and I were on the phone during the Emmys red carpet show, and when Christina Hendricks came up to talk to Ryan Seacrest, all my mom could say was “BELT.” All I could say was “Jayne Mansfield.” That’s what it was like. Christina is obviously an embarrassment of riches when it comes to T&A, but this dress… ugh. Christina’s Christian Siriano gown was not the right color, first of all. She’s so pale, and I wish she would get out of the habit of wearing such light colors. They wash her out. As for the design… well, at least she was showing off her small waist, you know? I think her boobs are so big, people forget that she has stuff below the boobs. But the dress was very “Ginger Jayne Mansfield.” Which is to say “How can you pay any attention to anything else after seeing that tit buffet?” Sidenote: I was genuinely disappointed that Christina lost Supporting Actress in a Drama.
January Jones in Zac Posen. I hated the dress and I loathed the styling. I might feel differently about the dress if January’s styling had been different, but I can’t unsee this mess. I understand that January’s hair is that color for a film or whatever – but there’s no excuse for that greasy-looking, unflattering hairstyle, nor for that immature-ish makeup job.
Jessica Pare in Jason Wu – she was the best dressed of all of the Mad Men women, I thought. That being said, I blame Mad Men’s 17 LOSSES on her and her stupid Megan character.
Elisabeth Moss in Dolce & Gabbana. It was really awful, all of it. I’m sorry, but she can’t pull off this shade of blonde. If she just went up a few shades, it might be better. But this is awful. And I don’t like the dress at all. The material looks dated and the cut of the dress is terrible.

” I blame Mad Men’s 17 LOSSES on her and her stupid Megan character.”
Amen. I shiver at the mere sight of her teeth.
I think the stupid Megan Character will be gone by the end of next season. I HOPE.
But I would love to have Megan’s mother!
I agree, not a fan of the Megan character. However, I was given hope when “Joan” reminded us how Betty started out…a model who married Don. We essentially know Megan’s fate: to be cheated on, disillusioned, and thrown away.
I still hope that Magan will be the one who leaves Don to persue her career because – unlike Betty – she is the modern woman and all. If M. Weiner desides to make Megadon work, I will be mad. Because it will blame the failure of the marriage solely on the wife (Betty) who was just too stupid/egoistic/whatever to not get cheated on and also lied to.
Wow. I hate all of those looks. I didn’t get to watch the Emmy’s (sat down to watch and PTFO on the couch after doing yard work all day) but if this is what I missed, maybe it was a good thing….
I’ve never seen so many gorgeous women work so hard at looking terrible
As for Christina: a different color for the dress and lose the belt and it would have really been wonderful.
I saw her being interviewed on the red carpet and I thought she looked good (compared to her usual atrocities). Does anyone else think she looked better on camera than in the still shots?
I gotta agree hat she looks pretty bad here….
I think it depends on the light. The fabric of this dress does have some pinkish shimmer going on which goes great with her skin. But without the reflection she looks bit washed out. But anyway, it´s a great dress for her. Me likey.
I´m still sad that she didn´t won 🙁 I was all like -> http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_matzatu4Wj1qg7m07o1_500.gif
I was going to say the same thing – On camera and in natural light, she looked great. And the dress had an almost lavender-silver hue to it. I really liked it on her.
As for January, NO. No. no. The dress isn’t awful, but her makeup and hair are horribly wrong for the dress. Her hair and makeup *might* have worked with Nicole Kidman’s dress but absolutely not with this dress.
…And also agree Christina should have won for Best Supporting.
The draping is great, the belt is WTF and the top is just too constricting. We get it, you have amazing boobs. But making us nervous that they are gonna pop out any minute is not a good look.
Is this Christian Siriano from Project Runway? Good on him for still working in the industry, and doing red carpet! Must be quite a challenge to dress a va-va-voom woman like Christina compared to the typical runway waifs.
I am OK with the belt or the draping on top but not both together. If the bodice was smooth and maybe a sheer drape over her shoulders, it would have been a nice look. She is so beautiful; I actually get more caught up on her face.
I’ll give a pass at Christina she has done a lot worst, it’s not that awful.
I like January Jones dress, don’t know why.
Elizabeth Moss blonde: NO.
My biggest disappoint was Jared Harris didn’t win the supporting award!!!!
Good Lord, that woman is all boobs, must be hell on the back. And I’m not a fan of any of the looks, although hasn’t Goop worn January’s style before or am I imagining that?
Her boobs are bigger then her head, awful!
Well they are her natural breasts so what should she do about it? Stop bodyshaming!
Atleast in Pictures the boob buffet looks more contained but when she was walking it was all a T&A mess everything going every which way. As For the color I don’t think I’m hating on it because her skin still looks rosie and she doesn’t really look washed out. I do find that a lot of things she wears, ok most things, look weird on her for some reason, whether it’s the color or cut. I feel for her shape.
Awful. All of them.
Now, Sofia Vergara…that dress was a tad tacky (just a little bit) but I liked it. It worked for her figure and WHAT. A. FIGURE!!! I couldn’t take my eyes off of her while she was on the red carpet (and on stage). I actually think my mouth watered a little.
I understand that she has large boobs, I understand that she wants to show them, I understand that it’s hard to hide them BUT why does she always wear one higher than the other?? It looks so lopsided and weird…
Agreed; plus she’s sticking her chest out even more. The gown is awful and folds and creases in places it shouldn’t. I hate the gray shade on her. A bad version Ginger on Gilligan’s Island comes to mind.
To be fair, I don’t think she’s “sticking them out.” I think she has good posture. Standing up straight does not mean you’re sticking your boobs out
I honestly think it’s unfair to get on her and Kat Dennings about their chests. I don’t know what else they’re supposed to do with them short of taping them down, which would be ridiculous for obvious reasons.
It’s just hard to dress up large boobs and I think they do a good job of keeping the girls covered up the best that they can.
I think it only looks uneven because she stand with her hand on the hip. But however she does it, people will complain anyway -> http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m08ldusLzQ1rone1bo1_500.jpg

Have you seen her playboy photo from years ago? After that, IDK if these are all natural. I wouldn’t say anything about them if they were, I just don’t think they are.
Yes, I did. But she was a lot slimmer back then. And even then her breasts looked not like an A-cup unlike the article claimes. A C-cup is more of a realistic guess, I think.
That said I kind of still believe that she is all natural:
1. I can believe that you can gain some extra cups if you gain weight, because it happens to me.
2. Also when you see her move, her breast also move which makes it unlikely to be implants.
3. When her breasts are not supported by a “hardcore” bra, they follow the rules of gravity: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mau0tgRawP1rdbsqqo1_500.jpg
Christina Hendricks is a beautiful woman, and I love how lush her figure is, but…she really needs to get those bolt-ons downsized.
Even for a woman with a curvy figure, they are Just. Too. Big.
People come in all shapes and sizes. That is called variation (trait differences) and it is an important meachanism in the evolution process. So get over it!
Also: It´s kind of creepy that you suggest her to cut off some parts of her body, so she will please your eyes more.
Christina’s dress looks really just painful. Outch.
I think there are ways to accentuate your curves without looking like a cinched up sausage. She needs something with less detail and flowy.
Jones looks like vampira. The black eyes are just too much.
I liked January’s dress, althought the styling is awful.
I agree…the dress is gorgeous. That’s about it.
I agree. Her dress is a lot better than Jessica Paré’s one, which is utterly underwhelming.
Thank you, I so agree! Love it, it’s so different. Kind of reminds me of that weird lavender dress Gaga wore, I think at some awards show, where she was toting around some pointy, sparkly sphere looking thing.
But, yeah, the hair and makeup is a mess. Jiminy Christmas.
Love everything about Christine’s dress but the color. Put her in a deep purple or jade green, and she’ll look great. Pale girls need contrast colors! It’s the same concept as why darker-skinned or tanned women look great in silvers, whites, etc.!
I have to agree, Megan dragged this season way, way down.
Anyway, I felt for Christina. She must have felt it when everyone and their mother said she was winning, and then…Maggie Smith.
Christina sure is a whole lotta woman…yow!
Christina’s skin is whiter than her teeth
That’s it! That’s what is “off” about CH…and the red lipstick accentuates the brownness. Face it, without the boobage, CH would be a parody, with that ridiculously fake red hair.
Or people would finally get over her body and start judging her for her great acting skills and not for her boobs/curves only.
And I personally like it that she refuses to use fake tans like everybody and their mothers.
from the neck down i think january jones looks great, but her hair and makeup are unforgivably bad.
christina’s dress is pretty but a dark grey or a midnight blue would have been better with her coloring. the belt cuts her in two.
elizabeth looks like she’s going to a fancy lunch, not a major award show. she would look better with darker hair.
jessica pare looks great but her character bugs the crap out of me.
where is sally draper?
Christina Hendricks should have won the Emmy! This past year was her best work (brilliant) on top of past years of brilliant work. So disappointed!
Is January Jones trying to look like a 19 year old anorexic fashion runway model? The hair is all runway. And who would want to look like that? It’s terrible.
Someone with experience dressing curvy women with extremely large real boobs needs to help Christina Hendricks. The dress itself is not that bad, kinda boring, but it does not flatter her figure. I don’t think that color looks good on her either. She would look great in a deep jewel tone. Her face and hair look fantastic though.
January Jones looks disgusting. She looks like she slept in her hooker makeup. She looks strung out. The dress is ok, but it is impossible to get past her strung out hooker look. Barf.
Jessica Pare looks very pretty. Her dress is simple,but looks great on her.
Oh Elizabeth Moss, WHY? She is so adorable, but that dress is wonky. Everything about it, the shape, the print, just no good.
I think she looks stunning. This dress perfectly accenturates her beautiful body and look, very old Hollywood.
Jessica looks okay, her dress i very simple but it works with her styling.
January and Elizabeth look like crap. I know Christina gets a lot of hate for her style but IMO these two are always SO MUCH WORSE. And it’s particulary sad in JJ’s case, because she is so beautiful on the show.
I kinda like that January always takes such risks with her styling, it doesn’t always pay off but she’s never boring. And my God, her face is so pretty, even with that drastic make up.
That’s exactly why her makeup here is such a travesty-her face is amazing. Why would they ruin it with a make-up job that looks like it was done by an 8-year-old?
That’s exactly why I love her looks too and she can usually pull off an edgey look.
I don’t even think its the make up, it’s the hair! If she had her usual blonde hair and had it out, it would have worked but dark and slicked down is way too severe
I think the hair is terrible too but I think if she had left it down, with that eye makeup she would look like a high-priced Vegas escort.
I would have loved to see her in that dress, with hair loose, or even just softly pulled back and with a less-aggressive eye.
That white dress is too white. January Jones’ makeup looks Hot Topic-y. I agree, Moss can’t do blond. And Hendricks looks…ok.
I think Christina looks amazing! I wonder what its like to be the kind of woman everyone wants to see naked.
I was once told that you can’t count the abs on skinny man or the boobs on fat women. I know I’ll get blasted for this but Christina is just fat, period. And she always looks like she is hurting really bed being stuffed in those dresses and all…
WTF? She’s not fat.
FUBAR is the viewpoint from which Christina Hendricks is fat.
WTF is up with supposedly not being able to count various body parts on different body types? That ranks among the silliest piffle I have ever heard.
Personally, I think Christina Hendricks looks fabulous, regardless of what she’s wearing. IMO, she’d look good wearing a paper bag. She’s voluptuous and just marvelous to look at.
When you’re surrounded by sticksskinny women with teeny boobs, like January Jones, then yes, Henrick’s a total heifer.
:: EYEROLL ::
They all look great. I would sleep with Christina for f*** sake.
January Jones’ dress would be amazing in any other color but black. If you’re doing a spider-webby pattern, you don’t do it in black. It’s that simple.
Christina has the most beautiful face and amazing skin.
Don’t care for any of the looks. Christinas dress would of looked better in a darker color. Her skins way to pale for that light color. And the belt has to go.
January Jones dress was interesting styling killed it, Elizabeth Moss just no.
Christina Hendricks should thank Julianna Margulies for her terrible taste or she would have been the worst dressed of the night. CH’s dress was beautiful and maybe if she and purchased her size it wouldn’t have been so terrible. But seriously what is going on with the hair and makeup she looked like like a trainwreck.
I don’t understand why this woman insists on dressing like an ugly drunk cross between Lucielle Ball and Betty Boop.
So tired of the boobs. She’s so pretty, though.
I don’t care what Christina wears. She is gorgeous even without the implants. She has the perfect body. This skinny crap didn’t really catch on until the 80’s with all the cocaine love. Entertainment can keep the Pro-ANA types crafted for pansexual Hollywood men who really want teenaged boys. Before then it was all about Christina’s body type. I’m past ready to see beautiful skin, curves, pretty smiles, and many more cute redheads.
No need to hate on the skinny girls. Are you actually saying that because I’m skinny, my boyfriend is just pretending I’m a boy?
And pansexual means that a person is capable of being attracted to anyone regardless of gender identity.
Let’s not go here again.
Christina Hendricks implants are HUGE and she had some odd looks before she had them. She went from a small C cup at best to a double D.
http://imageocd.com/celebs/christina-hendricks-before-and-after-plastic-surgery
I don´t know, to me her breasts still look natural (when not pushed up): http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mau0tgRawP1rdbsqqo1_500.jpg
Implants don´t look like this. Or do they?
Actually Grace, super skinny caught on in the 60s. Probably as a backlash to the voluptuous yet stilted 50s. Skinny girls didn’t have to wear bras after all, and skinny girls looked good in hippie clothes.
In the 80s women still tended to look healthy for the most part. It was the 90s that introduced “heroin chic”, where sickly thin became the fashion.
I think Christina looked fabulous! A big, sexy, juicy dish! I really love how she looks here.
The colour was awful but they style wasn’t all bad. I’ve seen her in worse…much, much worse! And really with knockers that gigantic, to quote Joe Simpson, “You can’t cover those suckers up.”
Jessica Pare looks alright (I, too, blame the loss on her stuipd Megan character); January Jones looks TERRIBLE, the worst – easily.
I like Elisabeth Moss’ hair that blonde and I really liked her dress.
Poor Elizabeth Moss (who I really like) was a hot mess. I liked all the other Mad Women dresses. January would’ve been ok without the horrible hair and makeup.
i think christina looks great, but the color of the dress doesn’t flatter her. i love january’s dress, but her shoes don’t work with it. i don’t really like jessica pare’s or elizabeth moss’s looks at all.
3 things I took away from this post:
– tit buffet
– MM’s beautiful women need new stylists and makeup artists
– Megan is DEFINITELY the reason they were shutout. “Teeth” as my husban likes to call her, screwed up every scene she was in or even mentioned in. I hope she leaves Don next season and we never hear from her again. Then he can go back to his womanizing, boozing, macho self. Damn I love him.
I love January’s dress! I also love Elizabeth’s hair and dress.
Time to put down the rose-coloured glasses. I’m going going to be controversial and assume CH isn’t the only person on the planet with a large chest and with that in mind decide that after all of these years that *that* isn’t her problem. Her ‘problem’ is that she has no taste, is allergic to learning and is allergic to fabric because it’s the same crap she always wears with the same crap result.
I’m sorry, people but your girl crush is one of the worst-dressed women in Hollywood and all of the holy water you pitch at me for not loving a stranger’s wardrobe won’t change it.
*
The Megan character has been a problem, yes, but there were a A LOT of ‘I’m SO profound and troubled, give me the Emmy!’ moments in this season. After a while, assholes being assholes and resolutely hating their spouses (I think Ken and Cynthia like each other, but who else, like, in this show’s history?) is wheel-spinning at this point. Being stylish isn’t enough, now.
*
Too bad about JJs head, that would’ve made the difference. EMs hair should be lighter or should be that honey blonde colour she had going (that suited a bit more length) when she was divorcing Fred Armisen.
I don’t get Christina Hendricks hoopla, except her boobies. And they always look like they’re gonna fly off her at any moment-they’re always “up, up, in the air!”. 😉
I loved January Jones, and that’s saying something, considering I don’t watch Mad Men and I usually don’t care about her! 😉
Why, why, WHY does Christina INSIST on pushing her boobies up so damn HIGH?! It’s so not flattering.
Breakdown
Christina: my soul sister in clevage. I feel your pain because anything that is not black will draw attention to those nunga nungas. But hey defying gravity is not always necessary. A black empire dress with gold detailing, like a grecian goddess of hades would be spectaculare.even a dark green ensemble and gold serpentine jewelry would work. And emilio phccie has the hottest grecianstilettos out right now. The boobies would be minimized but still on display and Seriano could take a break from trying to put Mackie and Armani’s lookbooks together. Think about this during awards season.
JJ: look, I like the dress. It’s just not right for her. I see this dress on a Cbristina Ricci. I see chunky layered hair the color of coal or even some quirky accessories to go with it. JJ IS NOT EDGY!
Jessica Pare: christina needs to do something like this though it withtbe one strap thing.thus look is justnot working for me because it’s boring on her. The color should have been a purple or burgandy tobring kut ber

Hendricks doesn’t know how to dress for her body… and clearly no one around her know how to wrangle those curves either. It’s just a damn shame, so sad on so many levels. I think Jones looked okay, very Rooney Mara in her appearances for TGWTDT. Pare looked great, very elegant… but who is she? And Moss, well, let’s just say we know she was never part of the ‘in’ crowd. I’m sure she thinks the hair and the dress are so high fashion and edgy, but they really just scream “I styled myself, can you tell?”
To be fair, I’d think it would be really, really tough to find dresses which flatter a figure like Hendricks’. Her curves are so VA-VOOM that most things are going to look like they don’t fit on one end or the other.
They all could look better, but then it was not great night for anyone. I must say I’m over the gigantic mutant boob implant look…
It’s just not possible to dress that rack flatteringly.
I can’t think of a worse colour for her to be wearing.
I agree with everything written in this article.
January’s whole look is awful. I wish she’d go classic, she’s so pretty, but she must like the avant garde stuff.
Christina’s hair and makeup look good, but that dress is a disaster for her.
Jessica’s is nice, simple and understated. Elisabeth’s is too much for me.
I think j.jones looked the worst out of everyone last night. That hair and makeup yuck.
“Tit Buffet.” LOL!!!
I thought that Elisabeth Moss looked cute, to be honest.
I like January Jones’ dress, not the hair or makeup, but the dress is pretty.
The dress is very Mansfield/Monroe and fits her beautifully. If the color of the fabric had been pink or a copper brown it would have been absolutely perfect, but she looks gorgeous nonetheless.
I don’t mind Christina’s dress or her size or boobs. But I do wish she’s mix it up a little more with the hair colour. That colour just does not photograph remotely natural.
