Carey Mulligan was one of the Met Gala’s hosts last night, and her dress certainly has people talking! The shimmering (almost fish-scale-looking) dress stole the show. She showed up to the event with her husband of about two weeks, Mumford & Sons lead singer Marcus Mumford. Carey’s dress is by Prada.

January Jones showed up in a bright yellow Versace dress. Christina Ricci wore an interesting Thakoon gown. Lily Collins appeared at the Met for the first time in a Collette Dinnigan dress. Dianna Agron was the guest of Carolina Herrera. Karolina Kurkova wore an outfit by Rachel Zoe. Rachel Zoe herself looked scary-skinny, as always.

Rooney Mara wore a black see-through dress by Givenchy. Rashida Jones wore a floral dress by Tory Burch. Ashley Greene wore a white gown by Donna Karan. Elizabeth Banks wore an incredibly ugly dress by Mary Katrantzou.

Jamie King wore a red dress by Top Shop. Brooke Shields had the most-talked about accessory. She was seen using a can as she walked down the aisle, after suffering a foot injury. Solange Knowles wore a yellow Rachel Roy dress. Chloe Sevigny wore a short, black Miu Miu dress. Mia Wasikowska wore a red dress by Prada. Lea Michele wore a navy sequined Diane von Furstenberg dress.

Worst dressed of the entire night has to go to Florence Welch, who wore an outrageous dress by Alexander McQueen.

And that’s a wrap!!

January Jones is eagerly anticipating the return of ‘Mad Men’ on Sunday. Her character, Betty Draper Francis, might be undergoing some changes!

She sat down with PopcornBiz to explain what’s coming up with Betty:

What was really exciting about where you got to take Betty this time around?

It just continues to be challenging to me, that Matt Weiner writes, at least for Betty…she feels almost like a completely different person from season to season. He knows I like a challenge, and so I think he writes her a little bit different. I mean, she’s ever evolving, sometimes badly, sometimes negatively and sometimes positively, but that just continued for me – but it was in a different direction so I could sink my teeth into something a little bit different than you’ve seen.

Is each season a little bit of a history lesson for you? Do you learn something each time out about the era?

Yeah, definitely. I think that a lot of it just goes over my head, though – a lot of the historical references or the things that we address in the time period. If I don’t ask about it, I don’t ever even realize what they’re talking about half of the time.

How was it having Jon Hamm behind the camera?

It was amazing. I’ve said it before, but if I have a question about my character or about anything that I’m doing acting wise he’s the one that I usually go to, because first of all he’s there and we trust each other. So it just felt very natural to have him there. I obviously respect him and it was totally natural, easy. He’s really good at it.

Is there something from that era that you’ve fallen in love with as a result of being a part of ‘Mad Men’?

Well, you’re asking me this at the end of a season, so I’m sort of over my girdle and my hairstyle! But there are many things: I love the fashion. I love the certain glamour about it. But I’m really happy that I’m in the now.

Did getting the arc of the show locked in help you guys at all, knowing that Matt knows where the show is going to go?

Not me. I mean, maybe Matt, but it didn’t affect me in any way. It’s good to know that it’s going to go a couple more years, and if I get asked back I will be happy to come back. That’s exciting. But it didn’t affect my season at all.

What still gets you excited to get up, go to work and be Betty?

Just that she’s ever evolving. I always feel like I’m inhabiting a different person each season which feels very realistic just because I feel like as a person I change all the time. I just don’t feel like she’s ever the same. As an actor it’s a lot of fun for me.
