Without doubt, Peggy Olson is Mad Men's most interesting and richly textured character. While Don has the charisma and Joan has the sizzle, Peggy is to Mad Men what George Harrison was to the Beatles—the dark horse, and therefore everyone's fave. In our interview with Elisabeth Moss, we talk to the actress about Mad Men, Broadway and feminism, and you can admire her formidable sense of real-life style in our behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot. But for now, let's feast our eyes on Peggy's evolution in Mad Men, as refracted through her magnificent (and often terrible) outfits. Viva Peggy!

On a frigid evening, Elisabeth Moss ducks into midtown trattoria Casa Nonna, sheds her winter hat and wool coat and slides into a corner booth. Although she’s been pulling long hours and hasn’t had a day off in 10—she’s starring in The Heidi Chronicles, a revival of the Pulitzer Prize–winning play by Wendy Wasserstein—she seems upbeat, even jocular.
Our favorite adwoman is leaving her Madison Avenue office for a new home on Broadway as she takes the stage in The Heidi Chronicles. Elisabeth Moss plays Heidi Holland, a feminist art historian making her way through an era not too keen on forward-thinking women. Sound familiar?
