(Cover) - EN Star Style - Christina Hendricks feels "sassier" as a redhead.

The stunning star is famed for her portrayal of Joan Holloway in US television show Mad Men, and has become an international sex symbol thanks to her curvy figure and red hair.

Christina, who is naturally a dark blonde, loves the shade and admits she wouldn't want to go back to her lighter tresses.

"I have always felt sassier as a redhead," she told People magazine. "I don't even know what my real colour would look like at this point."

Christina insists she doesn't have much in common with her femme fatale Mad Men character. The 36-year-old beauty sometimes takes style inspiration from her, however.

"Wear pencil skirts," she explained. "I have a fantastic black fishtail one from Banana Republic that I've been wearing for years."

In terms of fragrance, Christina wears Premier Figuier by L'Artisan Parfumeur. She says her signature scent often makes her stand out from the crowd.

"My friends are always like, Oh yeah, we knew you were coming,'" she laughed. "Not that I wear that much of it!" (C) Cover Media
