When you are an actor playing a person in prison, the look is simple. No makeup, no fancy hair, and standard, bland, beige clothes. It may not be the most glamorous job in the world, so we wanted to know the difference between our favourite prison inmates looking their prison-worst to their red carpet best. The differences are insane!

Piper Chapman – Taylor Schilling

Although we see plenty of pre-prison Piper in flashbacks, we've never seen her quite so glam!

Red – Kate Mulgrew

Red out of the kitchen and in a ball gown! Thank God she kept the same hair otherwise we'd be so thrown right now.

Alex Vause – Laura Prepon

Alex can make that prison outfit work, but with her glasses and cat flick eye liner ditched she looks like a totally different person!

Daya Diaz – Dascha Polanco

We're not sure if it's the silver hair or the wide grin, but there's no wonder Officer Bennett had his eye on this one!

Morello – Yael Stone

Morello is always made up in prison, so we're MORE shocked to see her away from her red lipstick and pinned hair. What is this?!

Poussey – Samira Wiley

So...Poussey is a BABE.
