Buxom Mad Men bombshell Christina Hendricks may not look like a ballerina, but that's where she gets her fashion inspiration, she tells Styelist: "I was a dancer for many, many years, and I am constantly attracted to corals and peach and black -- things that remind me of being a ballet dancer. To me, they're classic and make me feel beautiful."

Although she's been spotted around town wearing lots of black lately, "I love dressing with bright splashes of color," she said, "bright pink, red, peach. Purple, I love."
