Versace‘s spring/summer 2011 campaign starring January Jones is out, though the Mad Men star is wearing very little Versace in it.

Jones is naked save for a strategically placed bag and shoes in the first image of the campaign to be released. According to WWD, she doesn’t put on much more for the rest of the campaign, modeling only Versace accessories including shoes, bags, sunglasses and glasses.

Jones has been a fan of the brand for sometime, wearing Versace for big red carpet events, and this year she attended the label’s spring show (even if she did hold it up by almost an hour). Donatella Versace has reportedly described Jones as “deeply sensual” and told WWD that she is “always on the lookout for the next Versace blonde…and in January I feel I have found a perfect Versace woman for the 21st century.”

Lately, the cool thing, if you’re famous, is to claim that you don’t have a stylist. (Cough, Blake Lively, cough cough.) Sometimes, that’s true. But most of the time, chances are someone is likely helping the starlet make clothing decisions, even if it’s not a Rachel Zoe/Nicole Richie-type relationship.

There are some stylists who make celebrities look like they’ve done it themselves. Leslie Fremar, who styles Julianne Moore, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jennifer Connelly, and several other perfect specimens, makes her clients feel so comfortable on the red carpet that for years I fully believed Gyllenhaal did it solo.

But alas, what celebrity has time to go it alone, especially when it’s a big event like the Oscars? As one publicist told me, “I don’t think they have time to find PR contacts, you know?”

Even Chloe Sevigny, whose style is innately her own–probably more than any other celebrity–uses a stylist for big events. Ezra Woods, her sometimes-stylist, also works with Michelle Williams, who looks as effortless on the street as she does on the red carpet. (And there’s no way Woods is picking out her outfits every morning.) Perfect person Gwyneth Paltrow even started using someone after her too loose Ralph Lauren dress at the 1999 Oscars. (Although I loved it regardless.)

So what about Blake? And Diane? And January? What’s truth and what’s fiction? Here are the real stories behind these stars without stylists:

Since Mad Men hit the air in 2007, it feels like half of the praise the show receives is about its stunning–and stunningly accurate–costumes.

And if you read our Mad Men Style Recaps, you know we’re big fans of the woman behind those wares, costume designer Janie Bryant. But while we’ve documented the on-air style of Mad Men‘s women quite regularly, we’ve been fairly quiet about what they wear off screen. Thus, in honor of last night’s season finale, we’ve tracked the evolution of their red carpet style.

MILAN–Versace’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection was set to a rock rendition of the famous Habanera aria from Bizet’s Carmen. Fitting, since, like Carmen, Versace’s girls were fiery vamps who looked ready to seduce or kick ass. Or do both at the same time. The models were styled severely: Their hair was slicked back tight until it glistened and their brows were defined to the point of looking angry. It was as if Donatella had assembled a fierce sexed-up army.

The uniform? Body-con mini dresses with cut outs galore (at the hips, shoulders and back) in white, then black leather, then red, then a multicolor striped print. There were knee-length pencil skirts too, paired with cropped fitted jackets. Versace’s signature Greek fret motif ran throughout the collection, blown up as cut outs on leather jackets and dresses, or shrunk down around skinny belts. The stand out looks were, unsurprisngly, the evening wear dresses at the finale–floor length numbers all in fringe that celeb attendee (and Versace-devotee) January Jones will no doubt be wearing on the red carpet soon.

Vogue’s June issue features Blake Lively, her second cover in two years. While Blake surely seems like a lovely girl, her style is all about showing off her hot body, and she’s most famous for acting in teen TV shows and movies, not exactly “modern American woman” material. The June issue is usually a slower [...]

We’ve picked the dresses we wish they’d wear, but followed up with more realistic options. As the wise Rachel Zoe has taught us, the US Weekly-reading, [...]

We hardly recognized January Jones in the August issue of Elle since we really only know (and love) her as the WASP-y chic, increasingly independent wife of Don Draper (swoon!) on Mad Men. She actually looks a little like Naomi Watts here with Donatella. But we digress. She looks slick and cool and we appreciate [...]
