Fly me to the moon! Emmy winner Uzo Aduba takes the stage by storm as she and OITNB cast ditch the jumpsuits at Tony Bennett's Arts Gala in NYC

They might be forced to wear matching orange jumpsuits for their hit Netflix show.

But girls of Orange Is The New Black certainly make up for it when not shooting the on demand series.

And on Monday night Emmy winner Uzo Aduba and her castmates set their fashion sights on stun as they held no punches when it came to glamour at the 9th Annual Exploring The Arts Gala in New York City.

Taylor Schilling, 31, wore an elegant ensemble made up of a monochrome top and black pants as she wore her golden hair up in a bun, revealing her gorgeous complexion.

While Taryn Manning pulled out all the stops when it came to sultriness as she wore a thigh-skimming LBD whilst Samira Wiley went for a patterned midi with Chelsea Paris heels. 

But the ultimate scene-stealer of the night was Uzo, 34, who took the stage to perform at the event founded by Tony Bennett and his wife Susan Benedetto.

Meanwhile, Uzo is still running high off of her win for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama category at this year’s Emmys.

According to TMZ, the American star swapped places with her elderly mother and settled for coach after her group were not given first-class tickets.

In a video posted online, the Orange Is The New Black actress could be seen following her mother who was seated in a wheelchair.

Aduba's new statue is her second in as many years, having taken out Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her same role of Suzanne 'Cray Eyes' Warren, after OITNB's category was changed.

While it may have been her second win, Uzo was still both humble and very thankful to have won.

Taking to the stage to accept her award during the Emmys presentation on Sunday, she said: 'I really just want to say thank you a thousand times.

'If I could say thank you a thousand times, it would not be enough to cover the amount of thanks I feel for you, [show creator] Jenji Kohan. I love you so much.
