But she’s never been one of the super-on-theme or avant-garde best dressed…until now.

For the 2024 Met Gala, Kaling wore a gorgeous sculptural gown by designer Gaurav Gupta.

The name of this dress is The Melting Flower of Time, she explained at the event.

Expressing slight disbelief, another very impressed fantweeted, No way Mindy KALING outdoing the girls.

The material is a slightly sheer beige, with sparkling stands throughout to give Kaling an overall glow.

Kaling kept her jewelry on theme, with at least one flower-shaped accessory.

When she’s done wearing this, maybe Mindy can just put it on her wall?
