A 'sexy Handmaid's Tale' Halloween costume being sold by a lingerie company is causing outrage across the internet.
Lingerie website Yandy is offering a "Brave Red Maiden" costume for $64.95 that resembles a "sexier" version of the costumes worn by women on the show inspired by Margaret Atwood's novel, "The Handmaid's Tale."
The costume features a red bodycon minidress, a matching floor length hooded cloak and a white bonnet, similar to the hat worn by characters in the Hulu show.
The model on Yandy's website tops off the costume with fishnet tights and black stiletto heels.
People on social media were quick to criticize the costume, which seems to go against everything "The Handmaid's Tale" is about.
The Hulu show focuses on a not-so-distant dystopian future in which fertile women are forced into sexual servitude.
While most sites can't explicitly reference "The Handmaid's Tale" due to copyright reasons, Yandy's description for its Brave Red Maiden costume references a similar society as the Atwood book and show.
"An upsetting dystopian future has emerged where women no longer have a say," the description says. "However, we say be bold and speak your mind in this exclusive Brave Red Maiden costume featuring a red mini dress, a matching cloak with an attached hood, and a white bonnet headpiece." Yandy also boasts a "sexy Pikachu" costume, and a "sexy goldfish" costume.
INSIDER has reached out to Yandy for a comment on the costume.
