In March 2014, Christina Hendricks looked radiant at the ‘Mad Men’ presentation during The Paley Center for Media’s annual PaleyFest event in Hollywood.
The redhead paid a perfect tribute to the legacy of L’Wren Scott in a striking green number from the designer’s Fall 2012 collection.

Laura “Luann” Bambrough, known professionally as L’Wren Scott, was found dead in her home on March 17, 2014, from a suicide by hanging. A multitude of tributes came pouring in from the devotees of the beloved designer.
L’Wren Scott had carved out a niche as a creator of beautiful dresses that celebrate the female form, and Christina’s classy and sultry look at PaleyFest was the perfect embodiment of what the designer successfully accomplished in her short but illustrious career.

Beyond the sentimental value of the gown, the technical details were equally impressive. The gorgeous actress showed off her voluptuous figure in a long-sleeved frock with a V-shaped neckline and gold embellishments on the sleeves and waist.
