For Taryn Manning, also known for starring in Orange Is The New Black, it seems blonde is the new brunette. 

With a mopped dusty blonde wig under a cowboy hat, and large glasses covering her face, Taryn donned a white puffer jacket with a fur hood with long grey shorts and mustard yellow suede boots. 

The star strolled down the street clutching a green drink in her hand. 

Her night out comes the same day it was announced Taryn is set to join the all-star cast of new drama, Out Come The Wolves, portraying a mother who is resentful for having her child.

The film is partly inspired by Rancid’s 1995 punk rock album of the same name, and will also star Better Call Saul’s Giancarlo Esposito, Lost’s Harold Perrineau and Sons of Anarchy’s Ryan Hurst. 

Taryn has starred in a string of cult favourites, starting her career in TV series Get Real alongside Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg in 1999. 

After that, she appeared in the beloved road trip movie Crossroads with Britney Spears and Zoe Saldana in 2002, and Eminem’s movie 8 Mile in the same year. 

She remained an avid supporter of Britney throughout the icon’s fight to end her suffocating conservatorship, calling her former co-star a “wonderful woman” who should get  “the dignity she deserves and earned”.
