Mad Men star Christina Hendricks dreads Hollywood’s awards season – because so many fashion designers refuse to help the curvy star find an outfit for the red carpet. The busty redhead recently won an apology from a fashion blogger after a New York Times critic blasted her choice of gown for the Golden Globes last month. Hendricks admits she always finds it hard to dress for high profile events as so many fashion brands refuse to associate themselves with larger ladies. She tells Britain’s Glamour magazine, “It is difficult come award season and I need to find a gown to walk down the red carpet in, and there are only size zeros and size twos available. Then it becomes downright annoying. Because all these designers are saying, ‘We love Mad Men, we love Christina, but we won’t make her a dress.’” The actress admits her size has also lost her acting jobs in the past, but she refuses to shrink down to fit in with her super-slender peers. She adds, “I have not got jobs because I was told I was too sexy, too voluptuous. But it’s just the way I am.” “I was told I was very close to getting a job and they decided I was too heavy. I felt very embarrassed. But I thought, ‘I chose to live here (in Hollywood). I know how it goes. I can either lose weight or I can stay the same.’ I chose to stay the same.” © SFGate |

Christina Hendricks has revealed that her sense of style has changed since working on Mad Men. The actress, who plays Joan Holloway on the AMC drama, has admitted that she’s become a fan of the 1960s era of fashion. Hendricks told Marie Claire: “I’m definitely learning from Joan. My personal style is very romantic. I’m drawn to things that have a feminine flair, whether it’s a ruffle or an embellishment. “Joan is much more streamlined, so I’m learning how that works on my figure. I’m a fan of the pencil skirt now. I used to think they were so conservative, but then I realised if you wear one that’s tight enough, it’s really sexy.” As for what her mantra for dressing is, she added: “Highlight the things you like. I like my small waist, so whenever I wear a dress or blouse, I always make sure you can see my waistline. It gives me more of an hourglass shape.” |
