January Jones vs. Jessica Par: which Mrs. Draper looked better at the Met Gala?

Unfortunately for all of us, the ladies of Mad Men were not completely represented at last night’s Met Gala. And by that I mean Christina Hendricks and her bountiful rack of awesomeness were not in attendance. Instead, we got the two Mrs. Drapers. (There are actually three Mrs. Drapers overall, but I guess no one counts Don Draper’s first wife!). January Jones (Mrs. Draper #2) and Jessica Paré (Mrs. Draper #3) were both in attendance. January wore yellow & black Atelier Versace, a pretty standard bustier and mermaid-skirt design. January, as you may know, thinks she’s super-high-fashion. And you may remember, she rarely pulls off “the look” she’s attempting. As for this dress… I’m not sure about the hip fins or anything, but her body looks great. I don’t care for this shade of yellow on her, though. I think that might be my biggest issue – the color doesn’t suit her.

While her hair looks fine in general, I don’t think this style really goes with the dress or the event. And I hate the combination of the turquoise necklace with the yellow dress. Your jewelry doesn’t have to be matchy-matchy, but it shouldn’t look so thrown together without any thought either.

Jessica Paré wore L’Wren Scott, which… shows a great deal of fashion confidence, I think. I love L’Wren, and while she might not be the “coolest” designer out there, the clothes are always beautiful and well-made. This coppery-bronze color really suits her coloring, and while this look isn’t going to be considered groundbreaking or incredible fashion-forward, it suits her and she looks beautiful. Well done!
