Julianne Hough opted for a controversial Halloween costume, donning blackface while dressing up as a character from the hit series Orange Is the New Black at a Halloween party on Friday, Oct. 25.
The 25-year-old actress was Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren from the Netflix series, but we are willing to bet that all eyes at the Beverly Hills bash were on Hough for her surprising look.
In addition to the dark makeup, the Safe Haven star wore prison orange with a longsleeve gray T-shirt over her hands. She darkened her eyebrows and blond hair, which was styled in knotted nubs just like the fictional prisoner. She completed the look with an ID tag on her chest featuring the TV character, portrayed by Uzo Aduba.
Hough was joined by several other friends dressed an inmates, wearing matching orange outfits but no dark makeup. A male friend dressed as a prison warden and held a baton.
Crazy Eyes is a standout character from the critically acclaimed comedy drama series.
What do you think of Hough's costume?
