January Jones' 'Thirsty' Bikini Selfie Makes Fans 'Uncomfortable'

January Jones was having fun as she stripped to a plunging purple bikini to battle L.A.'s 2020 heatwave. Staying home during the pandemic's first wave, the Mad Men star showed off her curves and her sense of fun in a backyard snap, one shared to her Instagram and mentioning the 103-degree weather. Possibly out to get fans talking as she struck a pose that was both lighthearted and raunchy, January spoke of being "literally thirsty" in her caption, but she didn't land a fully positive response. While fans left January of 120,000 likes, users seeing the shot on The Daily Mail were left feeling awkward.

Scroll for the photo. All open-mouthed as she smiled and posed amid lawns and parasol-shaded loungers, January peeped her swanky L.A. pad as she drew the eye to her figure. The 46-year-old kept her legs close together as she snapped her selfie, highlighting her ample cleavage and Pilates-honed hips in a tight, bright bikini, one boasting both a low neckline and fun waist cut-outs.

Flaunting her flat stomach, toned waist, and killer cleavage, January jazzed up her loud two-piece with string ties, showcasing her fierce assets and some sideboob. The Spinning Out star even matched pops of gold from her bust strings to her multiple necklaces, completing her look with shades, plus her hair worn up. "It’s 103 degrees, literally thirsty," she wrote.

In a scathing allegation that wound up being The Daily Mail's most-liked reply, an anonymous user claiming to have worked with January Jones replied: "Just seeing that phony smile makes me uncomfortable. I spent too many years as her stand in. She was hands down the worst person I met during my decade in Hollywood. I feel bad for her son. Love the color of her bikini though." Over 500 others liked the comment.

Backyard bikini action is a theme on January's IG. In June 2023, she showed off this stylish bathing suit, sticking to classic black while flaunting her sizzling figure. A black heart emoji was the only caption. Alongside earning herself over 73,000 likes, January Jones snagged a celebrity one from reality star Lisa Rinna.

Jones' posts come as she continues to be subject to age-shaming. When the 2020 photo gathered more comments on The Daily Mail, one user wrote: "Another 40 year old woman plus who thinks she's still a teenager. Wtf."

January has a cult following on account of her luxury beauty "shelfies," but she's also got fashionista following her. Alongside sharing trendy outfits, the star has nailed chic swimwear, seen in this polka-dot bikini look from Marysia. January Jones also tagged luxury brand Marni for her shades, plus Uncommon Matters for her chic gold earrings.
