Betty’s Italian bombshell look. The stunner of a dress Megan wore to warble “Zou Bisou Bisou.” Joan’s pen necklace. Sally’s go-go boots. Certain Mad Men looks have become iconic enough that they transcended the show and became part of the fashion pantheon, even meriting their own exhibition earlier this year. After last night’s finale, we’re rounding up the most-enduring looks from the show’s seven seasons. Click through the slideshow to see all of our picks for the quintet of main female characters’ best fashion moments.

The youthful romper Betty brings out of the closet in season one is a reminder of her carefree past.

After she suspects Don may be having an affair, Betty, still in her polka-dot party dress, goes through all his belongings looking for evidence of his infidelity.
On a modeling go-see, Betty stands out from her young, Mod fellow entrants in this crinoline-enhanced ball gown.
For a romantic night out in Rome, Betty went full Dolce Vita.
A newly slimmed-down Betty wears this demure sleeveless shirt and shorts to rekindle her flame with Don.
This is the Platonic image of Joan: a snug red sheath topped by her signature pen necklace.
Out of the office, Joan turned up the glamour quotient in the black capelet gown she wore to go out on Labor Day weekend.
Her formfitting officewear nearly matched her skin tone.
A newly post-partum Joan came to the office, baby carriage in tow, wearing a hot-pink satin dress in her favored silhouette.
She was the life of the housewarming party, performing "Zou Bisou Bisou" in a kicky black minidress.
Megan's star turn as Snow White, in a commercial she got with Don's help, is the first sign that she's putting her pursuit of fame above him. Photo: ...

The minidress so nice, Megan wore it twice: once in the season-seven premiere, to meet Don at LAX, and again in the last half of the same season, when trying to jump-start her career by lunching with Harry.
For a tense spousal outing to Howard Johnson's, Megan, ever the fashion plate, wore this coral chevron-printed coat with a coordinating sheath dress. ...

The T-shirt that launched a thousand Sharon Tate conspiracy theories.
A Christmassy outfit, complete with festive earmuffs.
When your stepmom dresses you: Sally channeled her inner go-go girl in a sparkly sheath that was closer to her tastes than her Betty-approved wardrobe...

(A disapproving Don made her ditch the boots before going out.)
Dressing like Dad: Sally and Don were unintentionally matched for a dinner on the road on her way back to boarding school.
A skin-baring lifeguard outfit and an older crush were two big signs that Sally was growing up.
An increasingly style-conscious Sally dressed up in a groovy purple outfit to watch the moon landing on TV.
A wide-eyed Peggy first arrives at the office in a subdued dress and a jaunty scarf. 
As a new employee, she twisted the night away in a kicky green skirt.

Peggy has never looked more badass than when she moved into the McCann Erickson building in this outfit.
