Elisabeth Moss As Peggy Olson

The transformation of Elisabeth Moss’s Mad Men character made Peggy Olson a feminist icon for the working woman. Starting as a secretary who’s unsure of herself, Peggy worked her way to the top of a male-dominated field. And Moss did a fantastic job portraying this.

Ditching her usual blonde hair color for Peggy’s brunette, the two-time Emmy winner also toned down her girl next door charm to play the initially dowdy secretary. But now that Mad Men is done, Olson has her former tresses back as she takes on another critically-acclaimed role in The Handmaid’s Tale.
