styleshock: katie cassidy at hollywood life's hollywood style awards


Katie Cassidy's gone all Betty Draper on us. That is, the sex-kitten Betty Draper from the recent Italy episode of Mad Men, "Souvenir", where our (un)happy 1960s housewife did as the Romans do and dialled up her inner temptress with a towering, statement-making bouffant updo. Katie channelled Betty (minus the best accessory of all: the dashing Don Draper) at the recent Hollywood Life's Hollywood Style Awards, sporting this highly-coiffed, sky-high updo of her own, paired with a chic little pouffy-sleeved LBD (for a full-scale view of Katie's look, check out Red Carpet Fashion Awards). And while I kind of hated the over-the-top-ness of it at first (just as I disliked Betty's hair at first sight, since it was so out-of-character for her), now, the 'do is growing on me because it's so different than anything else we've seen on the red-carpet and I applaud Katie for taking a risk. Of course, we'd expect nothing less from Katie, also known as the new "Amanda" on Melrose Place. Love that she kept the makeup minimal, save for a whisper of '60s-esque winged black eyeliner, to round out the look.

What do you think of Katie's look? Too much or just right?
