Oprah Gets a “Mad Men” Makeover
Sep 17, 2009 @ 1:00 pmIf anyone has the power to step into a TV series—it’s Oprah Winfrey. The talk-show titan is taking a trip back in time—and into Mad Men—on a special ’60s-themed episode of her show. She enlisted series costume designer Janie Bryant to design a custom curve-clinging dress a la Joan Holloway (as played by Christina Hendricks, right). The result, a red satin number with a brooch closure, is worthy of a night out on the town with Don and Betty Draper. Let’s hope Winfrey invited January Jones and Jon Hamm (left) out for a cocktail after their visit to her retro set—even the Queen of Talk shouldn’t let such a wonderful beehive ‘do go to waste.
“The Oprah Winfrey Show: Oprah Goes Back in Time—The ’60s” airs on September 21st. Check your local listings for times.
Those pictures that I looked at were the sharpest, clearest photos that I have seen in a long time. It seems as though most photographers just want to get it over with and do a poor job of presenting the subject. Thanks for a wonderful display of some beautiful women. It has been a pleasure to observe some great work.
