I won't even bother to pretend I can do justice to just how bad the latest promo stills of X-Men: First Class are. So go read

vastly superior take.
I disagree with her on only one point, and that is that I think the promo photo of Kevin Bacon and January Jones looks amazing. Sure, it may be ill-advised in the sense that I don't really get "mutant freedom fighters struggling to out themselves to a cold and lonely world" from that shot. But Their costumes are faaaaaabulous. January Jones is so blandly pretty but well shaped, she's like a drag queen's wet dream. (Aside from Lady GaGa.) The catsuit suits her better than the Wonderbra (now with cape!) she was wearing in the last shot.
And Kevin Bacon with some sideburns and an ascot? If that's wrong, I don't ever want to be right. In fact, I would like to live in this world, where PVC clothing and antiquated notions of masculinity go hand-in-hand beside each other on a couch in the round. Let's go there and never go back to Stately McAvoy Manor. Please?
