You guys! Orange is the New Black comes back in 21 days! (Or about 20 days 5 hours, depending on when you read this post — the official countdown clock is on Netflix.) Are you amped? Have you seen the trailer already? Okay, well, have you seen it today?

Take a good look, because I want you to remember how these ladies look in their prison jumpsuits.

Netflix put out 17 character posters this week.
In preparation for season two, Netflix is rolling out 17 character posters. They launched this week.

Last night, the cast of Orange is the New Black descended on the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City for the red carpet premiere of season two. All the major characters from the cast were there, along with many minor ones and a few unexpected guests. An hour and a half before the show started, the line of fans hoping to get in went all the way down the block, around the corner, around the next corner, and about halfway down that block.

Happily, you don’t need to wait in line to see your favorite characters! Here are my 21 favorite shots from last night. It’s up to you whether you want to ration them over the next few weeks or binge on them all right now.

More Lea! Love her.

Do you think she ever tried that spoon winged eyeliner tutorial? Or does she just innately know how to do it [by hiring a makeup artist]? Via Laura Prepon Instagram.
