She has just received her sixth Emmy nomination for portraying Joan Harris in Mad Men.

But on Thursday, as well as celebrating being put forward for the Outstanding Supporting Actress category, the 40-year-old was being recognised as one of Los Angeles Confidential's women of influence.

The titian haired beauty wore a long floral floaty gown to the event, which was held at The Four Seasons Hotel.

Fabulous in floral: Christina Hendricks showed off her stunning décolletage on Thursday as she attended the Los Angeles Confidential Women of Influence event at The Four Seasons Hotel

The cover star of the magazine showed off her impressive décolletage in the gown, which had a deep plunging neckline.

The sleeves of the frock fell in layers of chiffon, with her waist accentuated by wrap around belt.

Christina's famous curves were on display in the outfit, and her hair fell in soft waves around her face.

The actress, who wrapped the final season of Mad Men last year, was hosting the event.

The cover star of the latest edition of the magazine, she told the publication she felt like having to bring the character of Joan back into her life again after such a long time apart was like rekindling an old relationship.

'It’s sort of like when you finally get over a breakup, and then they come back and they want to go out on a date again, and you’re like, Wait a minute—I got over you.'

Christina was also celebrating being nominated for her sixth Emmy Award in the Outstanding Supporting Actress category

Christina, who now sports strawberry blonde tresses, has been busy since she parted ways with the iconic drama.

She worked on the movie Drive between seasons, and now has a bank of projects waiting to be seen.

These include Lost River, which is the directorial debut for Ryan Gosling and Dark Places, the film adaptation of Gillian Flynn's novel, of Gone Girl fame.

Co-star: She also appeared at the event with Kiernan Shipka, who played Sally Draper on the show

She will also be seen starring in Roadies, which is a rock 'n' roll comedy series by Cameron Crowe.

Christina said Joan was almost one of the most perfect characters to play: 'She’s in many ways a woman we want to be.

'She speaks her mind, she’s confident, she’s ambitious and strong – and yet, those things often get her into trouble because it is the 1960s and she is a woman.

The actress revealed to The Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy that she was asleep when her Emmy nomination was announced.

She said: 'I was jet-lagged this morning, so I missed the phone call.

'I woke up to a lot of nice messages.'
