January Jones' son, 13, towers over her on rare red carpet as mystery remains regarding his father's identity
The Mad Men actress, 47, was seen in Laguna Beach, California with her teenage son at Oceana's 18th Annual SeaChange Summer Party on Saturday.
The Sioux Falls, South Dakota-born actress looked stunning as she walked the red carpet in a black midi dress with black heels, and her blonde locks down and parted.
The Emmy-nominated star, who played Betty Draper on Mad Men, accessorized with gold hoop earrings and a black headband at the environmental fundraiser.
Her son Xander wore a summery ensemble of an off-white button-down top with off white pants and black Adidas sneakers.
The God Is a Bullet has not publicly stated who Xander's father is, telling The New York Times in 2013, 'That's my son's business. It's not the public's business.'

January told the publication Red in September of 2017 that Xander has a number of strong male role models in his life.
'Xander has a lot of bro time with the neighbor dads and my dad, who is super young,' she explained. 'It's good to have strong women around a man to teach him to respect women.'
The actress noted, 'He doesn't have a male person saying, "Don't cry" or "You throw like a girl." All those s****y things that dads accidentally do.'
The Last Man on Earth actress said at the time she felt zero pressure to provide a stepdad for her son, saying, 'I just don't feel I need a partner.'
The two-time Golden Globe nominee added, 'Do I want one? Maybe. But I don't feel unhappy or lonely - it would have to be someone so amazing that I would want to make room.
'Someone who would contribute to my happiness and not take away from it.'
Saturday's event was hosted by veteran actor Sam Waterston, who has played the iconic TV role of prosecutor Jack McCoy on more than 405 episodes of Law & Order spanning three decades.
The organization was able to raise in excess of $1.7 million toward its objectives of protecting the waters.
Jones on Sunday said on Instagram that she was So excited to celebrate Oceana's 23rd birthday and attend @oceanaseachange last night!
She added, 'Sharks are my 2nd favorite animal. They're iconic, powerful, and essential to the health of our oceans. But they're also under threat.
'That's why I've been a longtime supporter of @oceana who campaigns to protect sharks and keep our oceans healthy.'
She wrapped up in saying, 'Join me in celebrating Oceana's impact and supporting this critical mission: oceana.org/DayOfGiving.'

Bob Dylan leaves gig-goers in stitches as they spot band arriving to gig in unique way
A mode of transport used by Bob Dylan and his band to get to the stage for a show in New York has delighted audience members, with many left in stitches after they spotted the vehicle An odd arrival for Bob Dylan's band at a recent gig has left audience members in stitches. The veteran performer is continuing on the Outlaw Music Festival tour in the United States, and his recent appearance in New York has startled some attendees. The Duluth-born songwriter spent his formative years in New York, and returned for a performance yesterday (August 1). Whether it was Dylan, who is set to perform in the UK later this year, or long-serving bandmate and bass guitarist Tony Garnier was up for debate in a thread posted to X, where fans were delighted by the abnormal transport choice. The original post to X reads: "BOB IN A BOAT." A zoomed-in video was shared to the social media platform, with a man in black attire and wearing a hat seen boarding the vessel, which headed straight for the stage. Dylan's performance in Wantagh, New York, was hosted near the coast and it seems travelling to and from the stage required a change from the usual tour bus. Instead, a boat brought the artists to the stage, and people believe they spotted Dylan, or one of his bandmates, on the way to the show. Fans were delighted to see the clip, with one writing: "Brings me so much joy to see Bob in a boat. Thank you." Another added: "Yes, I saw that! Yes, he was with Tony headed to the stage at Jones Beach. Great show!" A third shared: "Oh my God, I hope he's having fun." Others were left wondering if it was Dylan's long-time collaborator, Tony Garnier, headed to the stage. One fan wrote: "Could be Tony." Another added: "Guy in the hat is definitely Tony Garnier, I saw another video of them getting off the boat and bob is in a white hoodie." Those who attended the show were full of praise for Dylan's performance, with the veteran songwriter performing a handful of covers and hits from his discography. One attendee took to the r/BobDylan Reddit page and confirmed he and another audience member took turns with a pair of binoculars so they could see the stage. They wrote: "My microscopic view of Dylan tonight at Jones Beach. Thank you to the person beside me for sharing binoculars so I could see him. "What a night. I was absolutely floored by how amazing he sounds live, and by how ethereal his presence is. Also thoroughly enjoyed Lucinda, Wilco and Willie Nelson, won't forget this day anytime soon. "The energy of the crowd and performances were just top notch, I think it helped that the weather was really nice and cool today. And yeah, I was a bit sceptical about how Dylan might sound but he blew me away."
