Christina Hendricks keeps her figure under wraps in demure navy dress

She is one of the stars of Sixties drama Mad Men and when it comes to technology it appears as if Christina Hendricks is stuck firmly in the past.

While the beautiful 39-year-old actress looked elegant at the Variety Studio powered by Samsung Galaxy at Palihouse in West Hollywood on Thursday, she almost ruined an attempt at a group selfie with some fellow actresses.

As Lena Heady held up her phone and Molly Parker, Anna Gunn, Bellamy Young and Michelle Monaghan gathered round, Christina was busy looking behind her and almost missed the proceedings but the group persevered and eventually got their shot.

Christina was demure in a navy dress which covered up her famous curves.

With her red hair styled in loose waves, the look was elegant and sophisticated and quite similar to costumes from Mad Men.

Christina completed her look with a pair of red heels, which perfectly accented her striking dress.

And she wasn't the only one who made an effort with her famous pals also showing off their individual style.

While Christina was in a great mood at the Variety event, she had a tough time in Cannes recently when her new movie was booed at the 67th annual Film Festival.

Lost River, Ryan Gosling's first film as a writer and director, was loudly booed at a press screening in the French riviera city.

'Boos reportedly drowned out the applause,' according to Entertainment Weekly.
