"1. Yup, she&amp;amp;#8217;s blond But by age 10, Hendricks knew her real hair destiny. &amp;amp;#8220;I was obsessed with Lucille Ball and Ginger from Gilligan&amp;amp;#8217;s Island as a kid,&amp;amp;#8221; she recalls. &amp;amp;#8220;They seemed so fun and spirited, and I admired them.&amp;amp;#8221; Her mom suggested she try a red rinse before committing. &amp;amp;#8220;I loved it and I kept it.&amp;amp;#8221; Christina on her always-look-great secrets &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Wear red&amp;amp;#8212;you too, redheads! Pair a muted shade&amp;amp;#8212;like this russet&amp;amp;#8212;with one that pops: intense lips and nails! 2. She doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t follow red-hair rules &amp;amp;#8220;I like extremes and drama. Red, red, red!&amp;amp;#8221; says Hendricks, who has no fear of wearing the color, even on the red carpet. &amp;amp;#8220;It never occurred to me I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t supposed to wear it.&amp;amp;#8221; 3. She has a shape secret The number-one reason Hendricks looks great no matter what she&amp;amp;#8217;s wearing: the fit. &amp;amp;#8220;Tailoring is of the utmost importance,&amp;amp;#8221; she advises. &amp;amp;#8220;You can shop at Target or Yves Saint Laurent, and it will look wonderful if it fits you well.&amp;amp;#8221; Christina on her childhood and love of vintage duds &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Try teal: it&amp;amp;#8217;s very &amp;amp;#8216;11. The universally skin-flattering jewel tone was a regular on the Fashion Week runways. 4. She was bullied in school Because her family moved, Hendricks started high school in a new town and faced social pressure: &amp;amp;#8220;I went to a fairly intense school and, you know&amp;amp;#8230;I was in drama,&amp;amp;#8221; she says. Drama was not a ticket to popularity. &amp;amp;#8220;We were eccentric, and we dressed differently. Kids are generally afraid of what they don&amp;amp;#8217;t understand, so the way they handled it was to call us horrible names and be quite cruel. It was not a happy time. It was hard to go to school and be treated like that.&amp;amp;#8221; 5. She loves vintage &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been wearing it since I was 11 or 12 years old,&amp;amp;#8221; says Hendricks. &amp;amp;#8220;I love the attention to detail, the tailoring and all the little special touches that you don&amp;amp;#8217;t find these days. I do tend to stay away from vintage from the sixties, because I don&amp;amp;#8217;t want to look like I&amp;amp;#8217;m walking around in my Mad Men costume!&amp;amp;#8221; Christina on Mad Men and her upcoming projects &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Think pink&amp;amp;#8230;magenta&amp;amp;#8217;s always hot. A sexy cut makes the kid-favorite hue very adult. 6. She&amp;amp;#8217;s learned from Joan Hendricks has played Joan Harris (n&amp;amp;eacute;e Holloway) for four seasons now, and the character&amp;amp;#8217;s resilience has had an impact. &amp;amp;#8220;I try to remain confident like her,&amp;amp;#8221; she says. &amp;amp;#8220;Joan makes mistakes, but she picks herself up and puts herself together again, and I&amp;amp;#8217;d like to think I can do that.&amp;amp;#8221; 7. She&amp;amp;#8217;s branching out With Mad Men on hiatus, Hendricks isn&amp;amp;#8217;t wasting time pining for Joan&amp;amp;#8217;s office and period-appropriate support garments. &amp;amp;#8220;I wanted to try some new things,&amp;amp;#8221; she says. So in September you can see her in Drive, playing Ryan Gosling&amp;amp;#8217;s partner in crime, and in I Don&amp;amp;#8217;t Know How She Does It, as the best friend of a juggling-it-all Sarah Jessica Parker. Mission accomplished."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
