You’ll see Mindy Kaling courtside at the Garden.

Though The Office alum found inspiration for her 2025 Halloween costume in Timothée Chalamet, she didn’t wrangle the sandworms of Arrakis or channel her inner Bob Dylan. Instead, she turned to one of Dune star’s most beloved offscreen past times: cheering for the New York Knicks.

As Timothée, alongside fellow superfans Ben Stiller and Spike Lee was a mainstay throughout the basketball team’s Cinderella story-esque run through the 2025 playoff season, Mindy had a whole selection of game day fits to choose from. Ultimately, she opted to recreate his all orange look from game six Eastern Conference Finals, complete with his gold chain and burgeoning mustache. However, unlike Timothée, who had girlfriend Kylie Jenner by his side as his beloved team ultimately ended their playoff run, Mindy took center stage, posing solo.

After giving all her credit to the Wonka star with the side-by-side photos, the Running Point creator added in the caption, “Actually orange is the new pink.”

Of course, Mindy wasn’t the only star to find Halloween inspiration in a fellow celeb as Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber used the holiday to quite literally turn their baby boy Jack Blues, 14 months, into Justin during his first major tour in 2010.
