The most fabulous quick change—and she didn’t even have to swap her dress!
To premiere the final seven episodes of Mad Men at the Black & Red Ball in L.A. on Wednesday, March 25, Christina Hendricks not only broke the dress code, but also stunned in a dress with a fun twist: Its skirt was removable!
While her costars, January Jones and Kiernan Shipka, kept to the night’s color theme, Hendricks, 39, opted to walk the red carpet in an emerald-hued statement Zac Posen dress. While the design she arrived in boasted a full, fabulous skirt, the actress soon removed that skirt, revealing an equally lovely column dress with an embellished hemline underneath.
Hendricks did, however, incorporate a bit of the traditional red into her ensemble, via her beauty choices. She worked her strawberry blonde hair, styled into glam waves and applied a crimson statement lip.
Since wrapping filming on Mad Men, which required her to keep her hair red, Hendricks has been able to return to her flaxen-haired roots. “I thought it would be refreshing to go back to blonde,” the Clairol brand ambassador told Marie Claire. “When I first looked in the mirror and saw the golden-honey color, I felt nostalgic. It was like I was looking at a version of me from 20 years ago, and it brought back that time period.”
