For her wedding to Don in 1953, Betty wears a traditional bridal look with a veil that goes on for miles.

During a photo-centric presentation Don gives for the Kodak Carousel, we get a glimpse of the lovebirds ringing in 1956. For Betty, this means shiny waves, hot-pink nails, and hopefully some smudge-proof lipstick.

A huge fan of headbands, Betty often matches hers to her outfits.

Paisley + polished waves = '60s housewife perfection.

Another example of Betty going for the matchy-matchy look.

For a night out on the town, Betty can often be spotted sporting stylish updos.

Matte red lipstick makes for a striking daytime look, as Betty obviously knows.

There's nary a hair out of place when it comes to Betty's everyday waves.

This simple, pinned-at-the-nape hairstyle would mesh well with today's casual-cool trends.

Give any look added panache with a poppy pink lipstick à la Betty.

While out at dinner, Betty opts for a pretty-in-pink makeup palette and subtly pompadoured strands.

When hitting up the country club, wearing a headband that matches your tennis outfit just makes sense.

Betty may be the queen of feistiness, but she's also the queen of brooch-accented updos.

Nothing goes with a straight-up martini quite like matching red nails and lips.

For a demure style, look to Betty for inspiration. Pink lips, when combined with black liquid liner and a flawless chignon, make for one classy look.

With soft curls and low-key makeup, Betty lets her formfitting dress do the talking.

Wearing perhaps one of the most impressive updos we've seen in the series, Betty does outright chic to perfection while she and Don have a night out in Rome.

Mastering yet another jewel-accented updo, Betty and Don show a little PDA while dancing at Roger's daughter's wedding.

By the time season four rolls around, however, Betty Draper is now Betty Francis, the new wife of the straight-laced Henry, but her beauty look is relatively unchanged.

A low-key Betty beats the heat in fresh frames and a tousled coif.

Betty sure does know how to rock a perfect wave and red lip, no?

In the season-six premiere, Betty colors her hair jet black, leaving many viewers to believe she's morphing into her mother-in-law, Pauline.

But later in the season, Betty does a complete turnaround, shedding some excess pounds and dying her hair back to her signature blond.

In the final season, the former Mrs. Draper has come full circle. Her blond coif and bright lipstick is sure to cause trouble in the dawning decade.

Flipped-out hair and red lips and nails made Betty look like a babe again (RIP Fat Betty).

Betty is bringing out the claws in the final chapter of Mad Men. We mean her nails, of course.

Whether plain or accented with a ribbon (as pictured here), Peggy's playful ponytails make many appearances throughout the first two seasons of the series.

Peggy is also partial to fringe, especially of the baby-length variety.

She even wears her bangs piecey, just to mix things up a bit.

While doing a little flirting with Pete, Peggy shows of a flirty ponytail that's topped off with a baubled elastic.

Split-down-the-middle fringe looks even more girlish coupled up against a bow-tied, Peter Pan-collar frock.

Peggy's churchwear is just as sweet. The young career woman opts for a pink-and-white headpiece to accentuate her bouncy ponytail.

Donning a half-up coiffure and a bright lip hue, Peggy looks anything but dressed down while hanging out with the guys.

Tired of her same old ponytail, Peggy has co-worker Kurt take to the shears for a little at-home hairdressing action.

Peggy is obviously pleased with her new crop.

Peggy wears her new 'do flipped up at the ends, setting it off with split fringe and a thick black headband.

Soon, she becomes the master of extreme flipping.

During the holiday season of '64, Peggy proves the versatility of her new look, pulling her chin-length coif into a half-up style.

Beatnik Peggy doesn't take her flip too seriously, though, and opts for a no-fuss style instead.

Pillbox hats were all the rage in the '60s, and Peggy pairs hers with another midcentury classic: flipped-up waves.

By season four, Peggy has come a long way, baby. With her hair and makeup perfectly polished, Peggy has officially made the transition from demure secretary to full-fledged career woman. Too bad that lipstick gets all over her teeth.

Season-five Peggy: still just as polished, and now without the lipstick marks.

By season six, Peggy trades in her cutesy flip for a more polished hairstyle.

Peggy doesn't win big at the CLIO Awards, but she certainly makes a statement with this half-up bouffant.

With the year 1970 not too far off in the horizon, Peggy begins taking her hair to even bigger heights.

Peggy has grown out of her ponytail phase to embody the epitome of professional beauty, meaning we rarely see her in anything other than sheer makeup shades and cropped hair.

As Peggy continues to grow at work, her beauty gets better — including this sideswept short hairstyle.

When she's rolling with the boys, Peggy keeps her skin fresh and rocks a light lipstick.

Now that the '70s have peaked, Peggy is embracing feminine hemlines and flirty makeup to match.

Winged liner is one of Joan's go-to makeup techniques.

While it's rare for Joan to break away from her signature updos, a sexy coif, complete with piecey fringe, is the perfect accent to her satin wiggle dress.

Joan looks like the sassy lady she is in a structured chignon and raspberry-hued lipstick.

Joan never misses a beat, and that goes for her hair, nails, and makeup, too.

The guy on her arm might be detestable, but Joan's braided updo is the epitome of flawlessness.

Cherry-toned lipstick, crimson nails, and tinted-copper strands: Joan has a color scheme of choice, and she's sticking to it.

Plum-stained lips are set off by a soft upsweep.

Trying out a softer style, Joan goes with a loose updo and a subtle red lipstick.

By season five, new mom Joan takes to a more relaxed beauty look.

Her relaxed style doesn't last for too long, however. Perhaps one of the most consistent characters beauty-wise, Joan never strays too far from her signature style.

She may sell her soul to the devil, so to speak, but darn it, Joan looks ravishing while doing it.

Nobody knows how to enter a room quite like Joan.

Who wears short shorts? Joan leaves that up to the inscrutable Bob Benson. But when it comes to sophisticated beach attire, Joan nails it with this bold-print headwrap.

As Joan becomes even more of a force at the office, her wardrobe and hair reflect her elevated status.

Despite the changing times on the show, we predict Joan will stick to her signature beauty style.

Joan has two perfect fringes — her clean bangs and long eyelashes!

Joan proves redheads can rock dusty-pink lipstick.

Joan's fair complexion was made to wear the '70s biggest beauty trend — the smoky eye.

From her flawless hair down to her perfectly painted nails, Megan sure does dress to impress.

Newly hired receptionist Megan shows off an impressive, highly structured updo and petal-pink nails.

Soon, Megan begins a hot and heavy romance with Don and wears a sultry beauty look to match.

In one of the most talked-about moments of the show, Megan belts out the saucy French pop tune "Zou Bisou Bisou" while wearing a wing-sleeve dress and mod makeup.

Megan's at-home style, complete with a diagonal-stripe headband, is anything but ho-hum.

A simple half-up gives Megan's look a chic twist, while red lips, ivory shadow, and thick black liner take it up a few notches.

A bouffant ponytail looks even better tied off with a braid at the base.

If anyone knows how to work a smoky eye, it's Megan Draper.

Megan pairs her beveled bob with coral lips and nails for an effortless look.

At the end of season five, Megan pursues her acting dream and does so with flair, costumed in a floral hair wreath and bold lipstick.

A Hawaiian vacation looks good on Mrs. Draper II, who tops her wavy bob off with a floppy hat, which, according to Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant, "was sign of Megan keeping up with the times." Added Bryant, "I bought it from a vintage store and then brought it to my hatmaker and had them add cotton lavender lining."

While ringing in 1968, Megan opts for full-on glamour with intensified eye makeup and a voluminous half-do.

When it comes to winged-out liner, Megan gives Joan a run for her money.

But Megan proves she reigns supreme in the half-up bouffant category.

Megan's evil twin? Nah, that's just Colette, the fictional blond twin Megan portrays on the just-as-fictional To Have and to Hold soap opera.

Looking rather demure with softly rolled-under strands, Megan accents her flawless coif with a burgundy lipstick — and a devastatingly handsome yet extremely broken hubby.

Megan's love of dramatic eye makeup was made for the '70s. Her long hair, metallic lipstick, and over-the-top eyelashes are sure to keep us watching in the last season.

A voluminous half-up hairstyle and Cleopatra-inspired winged eyeliner make Megan look date-night ready.

Even when pouting at Don, Megan plays up her big brown eyes.
