The 2024 Met Gala in underway as I type and one of the first guests to arrive was Mindy wearing a Gaurav Gupta gown from his couture collection. To me, it didn’t seem to gel with the dress code which was “The Garden of Time” but she looked pretty striking here.

Update: Mindy called the gown “Melting flower of time”.

Mindy wore not one but two Vera Wangs to the Oscars first walking the champagne carpet in a white version and then switching into a black one while presenting. Between the two, I liked her in the black, although I don’t get why you’d wear the same exact gown.

She switched to a third metallic gown for the Vanity Fair Oscar after-party and while I didn’t care for the sweetheart neckline, I sure loved her hairdo. Catch it inside.

In Falguni and Shane Peacock

Wearing a Falguni and Shane Peacock sari, Mindy attended the South Asian Excellence event on Thursday evening. The whole feather on the pallu itself and not on the border seemed like an odd design choice but overall I did like her here.

I’ve been following Ms. Kaling wear Papa Don’t Preach before and while I like that she’s been picking Indian designers, can’t say I liked the outfits itself.

The 2022 Met Gala is underway as we type this up and in attendance was Mindy wearing a lavender gown by Prabal Gurung. Loved the gown, the finishing touches not so much. They makeup felt heavy handed in some pics and I wasn’t liking that neckpiece either.

A bit of a miss, this. What do you think?

Mindy also walked the Met Gala red carpet as one of Ms. Burch’s muses. I think we can all agree that while the design of her gown wasn’t novel, she still looked rather gorgeous in it. Am glad her make-up didn’t wash her out.
