I have absolutely no clue about fashion. The day after Hollywood awards ceremonies, “Extra,” “Access Hollywood,” and countless entertainment websites are always abuzz with who looked sexy, who looked trashy, who had the most expensive dress, etc. More often than not, I just stare and listen with a blank expression as the lipstick, eye liner, cleavage, flashy dresses, and impossible hairdos meld into a single sexy lady. The brands, designers, and stylists never register with my feeble male brain — it’s just too much to take in. Last night, however, one woman clearly stood out at the 2009 Emmys and grabbed my complete attention.
January Jones is familiar to a large part of the American public as Betty Draper from “Mad Men.” As a constant stream of bedazzled beauty flowed down the red carpet, this slim blonde with the presence of a classic Hollywood starlet caught my eye. Now this is a babe, I thought. I’m sure she was dressed in something revolutionary, but my natural male instincts could only produce this simple thought. Nevertheless, because a few of you may be interested, Jones apparently wore an Atelier Versace gown and accessorized with Neil Lane jewelry and Jimmy Choo “Keenan” sandals. Yep.
As for “Mad Men,” the series performed well again at this year’s Emmys. Despite stiff competition, the show earned statues for Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series. Though Ms. Jones didn’t receive a nomination for her popular role, she looked better than anyone inside the Nokia Theatre, which should be worthy consolation. Don’t believe me? Take a look for yourself.
