Mindy Kaling Goes Blue at the 2021 Met Gala]]> https://usagag.com/2021/09/14/stunning-sapphire-mindy-kaling-goes-blue-at-the-2021-met-gala/ Tue, 14 Sep 2021 03:30:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://usagag.com Stunning Sapphire! Mindy Kaling Goes Blue at the 2021 Met Gala Mindy Kaling has arrived at the Met Gala, and boy does she looks amazing! The actress hit the red carpet on Monday, September 13, wearing a custom navy blue gown by Tory Burch.

The 42-year-old’s breathtaking ensemble featured a black corset-style belt that complemented the gown’s underskirt, also black. The Office alum’s longtime makeup artist, Janice Kinjo, complemented the gown with jewel-toned eyeliner and a glossy lip.

In May, Kaling spoke up about how she’s strengthened her relationship with her body over time — especially ahead of major events like the Met Gala. “It’d be like, ‘Oh my gosh, the six weeks beforehand I have to stop eating,’ or I’d only eat a tiny piece of steak and some asparagus, and that’s what I’d eat all day,” she told Shape.

“I would love to be the size I was when I was 32 or something, but I just refuse to beat myself up about it,” says the actress, now 41. “I love to eat at restaurants, I love to eat home cooking, and I don’t like restricting my diet. And [now] I’m like, as long as I’m getting enough nutrients and feeling like my heart and my lungs are really getting exercise, I don’t really beat myself up about that.”

We love how Kaling is just like Us — she doesn’t take herself too seriously. Last May, the actress participated in the #MetGalaChallenge started by Billy Porter and Vogue amid the coronavirus pandemic. She recreated Jared Leto’s unforgettable 2019 outfit from home, and naturally, fans went wild over the hilarious photo.
