Mad Men Season 5, Episode 4 Fashion Secrets

Apr 9, 2012 @ 2:30 pm

True to the plot line, some extra effort went into the dinner wardrobe Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks) picked on last night’s new episode of Mad Men. “You can tell Joan was planning on what she was going to wear for weeks in anticipation of Greg’s homecoming,” the show’s costume designer Janie Bryant (inset) told InStyle.com of why she chose this slinky burgundy jacquard dress for Joan. “I wanted her costume to be sexy, and have that smoky, dark, deep quality.” It certainly was! Click through the gallery for Bryant’s take on more of last night’s looks, and catch the next episode of Mad Men Sunday, April 15th at 9/8c on AMC.

Valentine’s Day Makeup Idea: Red and Pink Lips!

Nothing says Valentine’s Day like red and pink! But instead of changing into a bright dress tonight, swipe on a statement-making lipstick. Emma Watson paired shiny ruby lips with a retro cat eye, while Christina Hendricks chose a fluorescent cherry that bordered on orange. If a bright red is too much of a commitment, think pink. Opt for a glossy rose like Jennifer Hudson, or if you’re feeling adventurous, try a hot pink like Jenna Dewan. Both shades work best with natural-looking eye makeup, and are perfect for taking you from the office to date night!
