AceShowbiz - The trend is not always right. While "The Handmaid's Tale" has become one of Netflix's popular and critically-acclaimed series, Yandy's sexy interpretation of the garb worn by the handmaids based on Margaret Atwood's novel sparked outrage. The provocative outfit included a red cape, mini dress and white bonnet. The ad urged women to "be bold and speak your mind in this exclusive Brave Red Maiden costume," but one Twitter user thought "nothing like a sexy rape victim for Halloween fun." Admitting that the costume was "seen as a symbol of women's oppression, rather than an expression of women's empowerment," the online retailer eventually removed the item from its site.
