The style evolution of january jones

She is best known for her role of Betty Draper in Mad Men, but off-screen January Jones is becoming a style icon in her own right.

 

As Don Draper's long-suffering wife Betty, January's Mad Men style epitomises preppy, Jackie O chic. On the red carpet, however, January has proved herself to be a true style chameleon.

From retro glamour to on-trend texture, there's not much that this stylish actress can't carry off. Schwarzkopf Colour Ambassador, Anita Cox McMillan says,

"January has a very simple, elegant cut which is a great foundation for such a style chameleon. These varied looks show just how versatile this style can be, as it can be worn very differently to suit any occasion. She's a great ambassador for today's natural and uncontrived hair and wears all of these looks beautifully."

This on-trend bun is a great look for summer and offers a more casual style for red carpet dressing. Loosely twisted before being wrapped around a donut for a perfect shape, this updo is left deliberately dishevelled around the face for a looser, less pristine finish.

Textured waves create a younger feel to January's usual glamorous style. The uneven widths and slightly broken up ends give this look a rock chick finish, but the high shine finish adds a polished feel.

Harking back to a hairstyle that Betty Draper herself would be proud of, these loose curls are a truly Hollywood look. The off-centre parting provides a softly sweeping, glamorous touch and that coral pink lipstick is the perfect addition!

Trying something a little more on-trend, this shaggy layered bob lends January a cool, fashion-y edge. Paired with smoky eyes and a delicate black dress, this style is about as far removed from Betty's preppy style as it gets.

Working with natural texture, this fun and flirty look is flattering and fresh. Perfect for a summer red carpet event, this style is packed with breezy movement and works really well with the simple gold chain accessory and quirky floral print.

Look how far she's come! This early red carpet outing shows just how confident in her own style January has come from her first TV appearances. The softly waved style and rich blonde are only so-so, and that two-tone eyeshadow creates an unflattering touch of red eye. Proof that a good hairstylist can transform your fashion kudos or what?
