Megan, en route to the Ad Club of New York’s awards ceremony, in a floor-length jacquard dress with influences from India and Morroco. Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant says the dress “was not thought of as a conservative thing during that period. It was very chic and fashionable.”

Megan, in the episode “The Flood,” connects with advertising professionals for the first time this season, an interaction that underscores the differences between her dramatic new style and that of her fomer co-workers, including Peggy Olson, Don Draper’s copywriting protégée, who has maintained a classic sense of style throughout the series’s run.

Megan’s sartorial evolution begins in Season 5’s finale, when she books her first acting role in a commercial for Butler Shoes. Her Snow White–type costume kicked off a season’s worth of souped-up ’60s fashions.

Promotional photos for Season 6 highlight the differences between Megan’s and Betty’s signature tastes. Megan epitomizes ’60s newness, while Betty’s outfit expresses the ’50s’ feminine elegance.
