Why did that cover make Jon Hamm look so strange...

That said, it is so much better and more compelling than that godawful nude True Blood issue.

That cover is fantastic!!! everyone looks amazing...except elisabeth moss needn't be busting out of her dress with that look on her face like that... that sort of pushes it somewhere it didn't need to go..

January looks so damn cool. her hair styled like that is great too.

Jon looks a little constipated. Great cover, though.

I was JUST about to say that! Soooo much better than the True Blood crap. January looks so gorgeous and classy.

She looks modern and pretty at Emmy's and I like that she tries to do something new and different than her character from the show.
But I don't like the Rolling Stones cover they all look bad.And I can't even understand how they managed to do that?

"I need not to think about my character," says January Jones who plays Betty Draper, ex-wife of Don Draper. "Betty is so blissfully ignorant in certain ways, so I feel like I should be too."

"I don't need to relate to her," Jones says of Betty Draper, the show's most unsympathetic character. "The biggest obstacle for me is not to judge her."

I agree Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss look a bit weird on the cover, but I think January and Christina look great. I like the concept of the shot

 

[lvstratus]

What a gorgeous dress she wore at Emmy's!

 

[missmod]

seeing january in her emma frost costume, i think she'd make a really great barbarella

 

[Diorette]

They all look weird on the RS cover...
Too bad because it's a great cover - if you don't look at their faces.

Critics were not mad about Mad Men's January Jones' appearance as a guest judge on Project Runway's season finale.

In fact, they felt that the actress, who plays the stylish, sixties-era Betty Draper on the hit show, failed to impress in all areas.
Jones who was on the panel with Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and supermodel Heidi Klum appeared shy and seemed to offer very little help, criticism or advice.

Maybe Jones was just in character for Mad Men. Like Betty, she simply smiled a lot and agreed with Kors, while sometimes being caught on camera looking somewhat out of her element.

A TV Guide columnist compared Jones' ineptitude as a judge to her poor judgement in wearing her infamous bright blue gown, hoop-skirted gown to the Emmys, calling it a "cone-bra-and-peekabo-Scarlett O'Hara-skirt monstrosity."

The Wall Street journal, again referring to Emmy night, described her as an actress who could only be a 'footnote' for wearing that dress.

On the show, Jones did ask a designer contestant if his model's hair was from Far and Away, a reference to the 90s Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman movie.

She also said she liked a purple houndtooth skirt but didn't agree with a sportswear ensemble.

The actress also commented on a shrug designed by a contestant, calling it her favorite, while Klum, commenting on the same outfit, called it a 'dirty dishrag.'

Jones' real life style seems to be very far from her Grace Kellyish, Park-Avenue pearls dressed Betty Draper, who wouldn't be caught crying at her kitchen table without looking chic.

The actress is often seen in casual shirts and dungarees walking around her LA neighbourhood.

'We were asked to not work out so much, to have a softness, as would fit the sixties,' she once said of her slim but less-muscular figure.

She also said that she stays away from vintage clothing as much as possible when not on the show.
For her appearance on Project Runway, Jones stuck to a safer style while judging, wearing a black dress with Peter Pan-style collar, pink lipstick and ... a smile. ​

Well...who wouldn't be speechless after seeing such amateurish designs? I couldn't help it.

 

[Meg]

also it was NOT the season finale of project runway. I actually thought she was alright - she talked about a dropped waist being unflattering on the model, and certain design features she liked. Honestly, there is only so much critique that makes it in to the final show

 

[LUXXX]

I wonder if she'll pop up at the Versace show in Milan since she's in Europe filming...

 

[Label Basher]

^ That would be great. Fingers crossed.

Better, except the forced smile.

 

[LolaSvelt]

Wow, she attended! I really love her outfit. The dress is just...wow. I love the pairing of the white shoes, too.
