 The Mad Men star's deep red attire clung to her figure in all the right places and featured a low-cut at the front.

The actress paired the gorgeous ensemble with a pair of vintage cat-eye sunglasses and dainty pair  of black satin heels.

As well as carrying her vintage lamp, which she had repaired at Fantasy Lighting on Melrose Ave, Christina had a large tan handbag flung over her shoulder.

Christina's attire perfectly complemented her creamy complexion and fiery red hair, and of course she completed the look with lashings of red lipstick.

The Hollywood bombshell recently discussed her love of all things vintage in a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar's YouTube show The Look.

She reveals that she has been seeking out thrift store finds since the age of about ten.

'I lived in Twin Falls, Idaho, and there weren't a lot of shops,' she said.

'I learned very early on to go to the Salvation Army and just little vintage stores, and create my own looks. Oftentimes tragic...'

'There were some very original looks that I put together. I had my goth phase, which was pretty... dramatic.'

Another source of knowledge and inspiration, has of course, been Mad Men.

She credits the show's costume designer, Janie Bryant, with steering her towards fitted silhouettes that flatter her curvy figure.

'I've learned a lot from being on Mad Men actually, as far as tailoring, silhouettes and things like that,' she continued. 'Janie Bryant, our costume designer, she's taught me a lot.

'I think I have a lot more pencil skirts. I used to like very sort of 1920s baggy, sort of floral lacy things that probably weren't the most flattering on me, but were just so gorgeous that I wore them anyway.'

Christina Hendricks finds Scotch drinkers sexy

London: Actress Christina Hendricks says she finds confident men who drink Scotch, extremely attractive.

"I love it when a man orders Scotch. Most women find it a big turn-on," thesun.co.uk quoted Hendricks as saying.

The "Mad Men" actress also prefers men "who exude confidence and a sense of purpose in life."

"A man is much sexier when he is able to project a very clear impression of who he is and can take charge of situations. Women like to feel a man can protect us when we need that or feel vulnerable," she said.

"A bit of swagger mixed in with a good sense of humour is important," she added.

Hendricks also says she has learnt to deal with men gawping at her assets.

"Men will stare and there`s nothing you can do except let a guy know if he`s staring too intently. I know I have a figure and I long ago decided that I wouldn`t starve myself and try to become one of those typically skinny actresses."

"I`m completely comfortable with my body," she said.

More women opt for boob jobs ‘to look like Christina Hendricks’

London, Jan 31 – It seems that more and more Brit women are opting to under the knife to get Mad Men star Christina Hendricks’ ‘hourglass figure’.

Last year there was a 10 per cent surge in the number of women having breast enhancements in the UK to 9,418.

Plastic surgeons say it is because women want to look like Mad Men star Christina Hendricks, reports the Daily Mail.

“The Christina Hendricks effect is significant. She looks stunning and lots of women a figure like hers. No one believes any more you have to be stick thin to be beautiful,” a surgeon said.

Even Liberal Democrats Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone said the 35-year-old’s size 14 figure is one all women should look to – rather than thin models with “unattainable bodies.”

“Christina Hendricks is absolutely fabulous. We need more of these role models,” she said.

Figures to be released by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) reveals that on an overall, the number of people undergoing plastic surgery rose five per cent to 38,274.

Of all the cosmetic procedures carried out last year, 90 per cent of them were performed on women. (ANI)
