For the latest issue of Vanity Fair, photographer Annie Leibovitz photographed Jon Hamm and January Jones, better known as Don and Betty Draper to 'Mad Men' fans.

But may I say, whether they’re happy in love or not, these pictures (and clothes) are beautiful! Take a look at the 'Mad Men' stars posing for Vanity Fair above.
