Side-By-Side Pics Of January Jones Show Her Transformation From Mad Men To Now

January Jones stole the spotlight in "Mad Men," playing Betty Draper from 2007 until the show wrapped in 2015. In it, she played Don Draper's wife while serving up look after look in that iconic, mid-century fashion that was typical of the 1960s. While "Mad Men" continues to be a hit show, it's been over a decade since fans first got to know Jones in the role, and she looks quite different now.

In September 2009, while seasons of "Mad Men" were still being made, Jones attended Variety's 1st Annual Power Of Women Luncheon, channeling a bit of method dressing to look like her character, Betty. She wore a black dress and pulled back her blond hair, topping it off with a black headband. Fast forward ten years, and Jones looked quite different when she attended a NET-A-PORTER and Isabel Marant event on May 29, 2025, in Los Angeles. Jones' hair was a cooler, ashier blond, and she was sporting bangs with edgy, burgundy eye makeup, displaying a stunning style evolution in her post-"Mad Men" era. Her brows were fuller and darker in 2025 as well, adding a youthful fullness to her face. While the two events were a decade apart, and Jones looked older, she also looked stunning. Her face was more angular in 2025 as opposed to 2009, but there's no denying that Jones looked absolutely gorgeous at both events.

January Jones has addressed plastic surgery speculation, saying that it hasn't been something she's wanted yet, but isn't opposed to it. "Whatever helps a person feel beautiful and confident is fine with me," Jones told Violet Grey in 2014. "I personally am afraid of the procedures that involve anaesthetic but ask me again in twenty years." It's worth noting that the interview was a while ago, and Jones has remained tight-lipped about more recent potential procedures. 

While she hasn't commented on any work she's had done — if any — she is vocal about her skincare and anti-aging regimens on Instagram. In December 2024, she posted all of her favorite supplements and skincare that she used that year. In the caption, she wrote that masks, peels, and retinols were really important to her. She also emphasized the importance of moisturizer, saying that she moisturizes on a damp face for better absorption. Indeed, this area demands some attention, because hydrating your skin and moisturizing your skin are two different, but equally important things. Finally, Jones raved about red light therapy, noting that the Shani Darden LED light mask was her personal favorite. There are several reasons why red light therapy is such a game-changer for your skin, so it makes sense that Jones loves it, too.
