Blonde is the new brunette for Orange Is the New Black’s Taryn Manning

Praise the Lord, Pennsatucky’s done gone blonde y’all! Orange Is the New Black actress Taryn Manning, who plays everyone’s favorite meth head turned evangelist Tiffany “Pennsatucky” Doggett on the Netflix original series, shocked fans when she appeared on the red carpet at the International Emmy Awards last night with platinum blonde hair instead of the mousey brown we’re used to seeing on screen.

Here are a couple side-by-side photos for comparison:

Perhaps even more shocking than the different hair color was Pennsatucky’s flawless teeth:

Joining Taryn at the International Emmy Awards were her Orange Is the New Black co-stars Danielle Brooks (Tasha “Taystee” Jefferson) and Jackie Cruz (Flaca):

Damn! Them gals clean up nice! 😉

Confession time. When I first saw the thumbnail photos from the event I thought Taryn was actually actress Emilia Clarke, who plays another of my favorite on-screen characters right now, Game of Thrones‘ Queen of Dragons, Daenerys Stormborn Targaryen. (Who is yet another infamous chameleon when it comes to hair color, btw.) Before you ridicule me too much, I should point out that Taryn was posing with Ned Stark (Sean Bean):

House Pennsatucky all the way!
