If youre a Christina Hendricks fan like I am, then Ive gotta warn youafter reading this weeks Before and After, youre gonna feel slightly crushed. That is, if you were holding on to the notion that her hair is real.
I dont know why it took me so long to come to terms with this, but thanks to a few of you ultra-observant commenters on the Mad Men Season 7 premiere beauty report, I now realize Ms. Hendricks has quite the wardrobe of wigs. Not that theres anything wrong with thatbut like I always say with these profiles, its helpful to know these things instead of assuming celebs are born perfect.
Like I mentioned last time, Im opening up the discussion here for ALL aspects of how a stars look has evolved, not just speculation on needles and surgeries. For the record, I dont think 38-year-old Christina has done anything to her face other than the usual tiny tweaks with fillers and Botox, but I have no idea about the boobs. (I decided not to publish that 90s Playboy photo of her in a bikini because I find it degrading and, well, if she wanted an enhancement it doesnt bother me. At the very least, it was an excellent career move!)
Instead, the 90s photo I want to share is of Christina in high school:
As you can see, her dyed red hair is a bit rooty and certainly not as shiny and voluminous as were used to seeing it now.
I always loved this photo, but now I see how its doesnt make a lot of sense for her bangs to be so fine, and then have the visible scalp just before an enormous bouffant. Not that she looks bad, though. Her makeup here looks great.
One of the most famous Christina shots, which youll surely remember, is from the 2010 Golden Globe Awards:
