January Jones doesn’t need a beach vacation to celebrate summer when she can hang out in a sexy bikini and a pair of shades in her own backyard. The Mad Men actress recently let her fans on Instagram know that, despite her name, it’s summer time and she’s ready to soak up the sun. The actress posted a picture of herself dressed in a black bikini and flashing a grin as she was clearly having a great time enjoying the summer sun behind her home.

Fans of January Jones immediately took to the post’s comment section to celebrate summer with the actress, with many commenting allusions to the AMC show the actress is known for. In Mad Men, Jones’ character, Betty, is in a relationship with Don Draper (Jon Hamm), who ends up cheating on her. “What was Don thinking,” one comment said, while another said, “Mrs. Draper looking hella fine.”

Of course, there was also a selection of comments from trolls who believe they have the right to control the content other people post online. Some fans criticized January Jones for posting a bikini picture with one person posting, “Honestly, what’s your point? You Pretty. Ok. But anything else??” While other comments suggested that the 45-year-old actress was desperate because she posted bikini pics online.  

In addition to her breakthrough performance as Betty Draper in Mad Men, for which she received Golden Globe and Emmy nominations, Jones showcased her acting prowess in movies like American Wedding, We Are Marshall, and X-Men: First Class.

As they say, the haters gonna hate, but it doesn’t seem like January Jones has paid any mind to the trolls. She recently received similar comments after she posted a video of herself in a white bikini and, despite criticism from anonymous strangers online, the actress has still gone on living her best summer life.

Born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, January Jones developed an early passion for acting and modeling that has stuck with her throughout her life. Her career in the entertainment industry took off when she moved to New York at the age of 18 to pursue modeling opportunities. She gained recognition as a sought-after model, appearing in campaigns for renowned brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Versace, Clearasil, and Kérastase.

In her latest Instagram post, January Jones poses in a sexy black bikini.

She never considered modeling her true passion, however, and January Jones transitioned seamlessly into acting, making her mark with notable roles in various films and television shows.

In addition to her breakthrough performance as Betty Draper in Mad Men, for which she received Golden Globe and Emmy nominations, Jones showcased her acting prowess in movies like American Wedding, We Are Marshall, and X-Men: First Class.

When she’s not spending time soaking up the sun in bikinis in her backyard or reciting lines on set, January Jones spends much of her time on charity work. She joined the marine conservation organization Oceana as a celebrity spokesperson, advocating for the protection of endangered sharks and raising awareness about their ecological importance.

Jones has been an active participant in charitable events and has used her platform to positively impact society.
