Mindy Kaling was in her "fashion dream" in a white Vera Wang creation at the Oscars this weekend, changing into a black version mid-ceremony. The designer is fascinated with the "duality of both." The actress is the kind of woman who buys a special item of clothing in every color.

With fewer photos of the darker look Vera Wang around, Mindy Kaling modeled the dress in a March 13, 2023, post. "The Office" fans quoted her character, who wore white at Phyllis' wedding, that she looks "really good in white." Comedian Zarna Garg said her resolve to align her emotions, looks, and body shines through.

An Insta user called Kaling's assertion that she lost weight by eating less, "gross and irresponsible." Another asked more respectfully if she could discuss the weight loss, while one accused her of using photoshop. However, one fan summarized the feeling in the comments, "You are just unreal, Mindy, so very proud of you."

Mindy Kaling Didn't 'Do Anything Differently' to Lose Weight

Having her second child during the first months of the pandemic meant that Mindy Kaling's weight loss occurred away from flashing cameras. "The Mindy Project," creator maintains that she "didn't really do anything differently."

Kaling continued that as long as she "doesn't break a beach chair," she is satisfied with her looks.

She told ET Online in April 2022 that, unfortunately, she does not have some "juicy or dynamic" method to share about how she dropped a few pounds. Restrictive diets don't work for her, so she merely ate less.

Mindy Kaling Once Said She'd Be 'Chubby for Life'

In her first book of essays from 2011, "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)," she began one piece titled "Chubby for Life," writing that she cannot remember a time that she was not chubby.

Due to the pre-Internet lack of weight loss resources, the creative teenaged Kaling "invented a makeshift diet formula" that entailed eating half of what her mother placed before her and skipping dessert. Kaling claims that she dropped thirty pounds without exercise in around two months.

In her self-effacing style, she wrote that she'll always be plump primarily because she has "virtually no hobbies except dieting" or discipline. The "Late Night" star gently riffed on pastimes such as skiing, knitting, or traveling, admitting she lost her passport when moving homes.

Kaling continued that as long as she "doesn't break a beach chair," she is satisfied with her looks, and all her dates were into her the way she is.
