Mindy Kaling’s Style Evolution, From Emerging Comedy Star to Leading Lady and Rumored Mom-To-Be
Mindy Kaling first made waves as the scene-stealing Kelly Kapoor on the hit TV series The Office. Since then, she’s gone on to create her very own sitcom, The Mindy Project, which she also writes and stars in, as well as put out two best-selling novels, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) and Why Not Me?. The actress has also made the jump to the silver screen, starring in films such as No Strings Attached, This Is The End, and the upcoming A Wrinkle in Time and Ocean’s Eight. And as much as her career has transformed over the years, so has her red carpet style, evolving from simple sheaths to bold statement gowns, included a sequin and fringe number by Prabal Gurung at this year’s Met Gala. If the rumors are to be believed, Kaling has another major change coming up, as it is rumored the actress is currently expecting her first child. Here, a look at some of Kaling’s red carpet moments.
