Transformed Starlet Shoots

January Jones Switches from Conservative Mom to Hot Rebel Chick for GQ

The impeccable actress on the smash television hit Mad Men has recently landed a hot spread in the November issue of GQ magazine. January Jones is most popularly known as the wife of Donald Draper, Betty Draper. Her character is most definitely mysterious, as is her GQ photoshoot.

January Jones sheds her usual conservative, goody-goody wear and trades it in for sensual red lips and a tough leather jacket (and not much else, if you catch my drift).

The GQ photoshoot has really transformed Jones into one sexy rebel chick.
