January Jones’s Costume Controversy in “X-Men: First Class”
“X-Men: First Class” stirred up controversy, particularly regarding January Jones’s portrayal of Emma Frost and her revealing costumes. Critics scrutinized Frost’s attire for its risqué nature, particularly taking issue with a white two-piece bikini paired with a cape, which bore a resemblance to lingerie rather than superhero attire.
Despite the criticism, the costumes in “X-Men: First Class” were comparatively less revealing than those depicted in the comics. This discrepancy between the film and comic book representations added another layer to the ongoing debates surrounding the portrayal of female characters in superhero films.
