For the occasion, Hough appears to have darkened the skin on her face
and neck, as well as tied up her hair in the characters' signature
knotty coiffure. Hough also sported a prison ID with the title "Crazy
Eyes."
After uproar began on the internet over her costume choice, Hough apologized.
"I am a huge fan of the show 'Orange is the New Black,' actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she has created," Hough tweeted.
"It certainly was never my intention to be disrespectful or demeaning
to anyone in any way. I realize my costume hurt and offended people and I
truly apologize."
