Is Mad Men embracing ’70s style for season 6? The bouffants are getting bigger and sideburns are officially a thing

See all the Mad Men season six preview photos »

If you’re counting, there are just eleven Sundays to go before the return of Mad Men. That’s right: the sixth season will premiere on April 7 and already speculation is running rampant about what’s to come. Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner has always been extremely secretive about upcoming plot lines but this morning a series of photos were released to promote the show. Much to our delight, the perfectly staged black and white shots offer some insights as to what Don Draper and friends might be up to for season six.

First of all: The hair! Before we discuss what’s going on with the ladies, take moment to digest Pete Campbell’s new sideburns. His very-’70s hairstyle is already a fan favourite, considering that it took only a few hours to be commemorated with a Twitter account.

As for Megan and Betty, both are wearing the sort of hair that Lana Del Rey dreams about: voluminous bouffants complete with curled tendrils at the front. It’s very Priscilla Presley—and a style she was known for at the end of the ’60s. Which really only adds to the speculation that season six may jump ahead a year or two from where season five left off in 1967.

And we can’t forget our favourite redhead, Joan. There’s a definite ’70s Elizabeth Taylor vibe happening with her style. The only thing missing is a flashy diamond or two. (Your move, Roger…)

By the way, did we mention that the Mad Men season six premiere will be two-hours long? Yep, it’s time to get excited.
