Mad Men star January Jones talks to AOL’s Moviefone about the new season as Betty Draper and upcoming movies including Unknown (which opens this weekend) and X-Men: First Class (which opens in June). In her interview she also discusses the comparisons to Grace Kelly and her revealing costume in the new X-Men movie. Here's some of the things Jones talks about;

On Grace Kelly comparisons:

"The Grace Kelly comparison, I take that with a grain of salt. She was really beautiful and great and philanthropic. I don't know how I'm supposed to live up to that."

On how revealing her Emma Frost costume in 'X-Men' is:

"I'm naked. [Laughs.] In the comics, the costume is pretty much just painted on and she has a pretty unrealistic body. So it was a challenge for me. I literally went from 'Mad Men,' packed the next day and flew to [the set in] London -- so there wasn't any time for me to do a lot of toning up or getting fit. I just had to wing it.

But we had a lot of fun with the costumes in that we wanted to make them very revealing and sexy, and they're always white and pearlized.

We got that Emma Frost look, but with a '60s twist -- and a lot of sparkles, because she turns into a diamond. We did all the research from the comic books and took bits and pieces of her costumes from different time periods and meshed it all together. We did a lot of leather."

On being involved in coming up with the costume:

"Definitely. I have to feel good in it. I'm the one who's got to wear it 18 hours a day. It was a lot of boots, a lot of hair, a lot of boobs. You can't please everyone, but the goal is to not disappoint everyone."

On what's next for Betty in 'Mad Men':

"Everybody assumes I'd like to see her happy, but it's not fun to play out. [Laughs.] I never really think about that and I never really try to guess -- because I'm always wrong."
