Fairly Titillating

Mindy glowed in this black, plunging, Salvador Perez frock at the 2016 Vanity Fair Oscars party. Extra points for her sleek yet sultry waves. Va va voom!

In a Mod Mood

The showrunner looked chic, sophisticated, and darn right stunning at the 2016 Academy Awards in this timeless yet trend-savvy two-toned, off the shoulder Elizabeth Kennedy gown.

All Dressed Up

Hot pink is no match for a leading lady as slick as Mindy. The actress stunned in Salvador Perez at the 2016 Costume Designers Guild Awards.

Got Curves?

Mindy looked polished yet vivacious in an exceptionally well-fitted, and tastefully cleavage-baring Salvador Perez dress at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Creativity is in the Eye of the Starlet

The actress may be a label-loyalist, but at least she has good taste. Mindy stunned in cherry red Salvador Perez at the 2015 Creative Arts Emmy Awards.

Baring It

Whoever slated the two-piece trend for the slender and slim was, first of all, wrong and second of all, clearly not attuned to Mindy's particular red carpet dexterity. The actress broke (superbly outdated) rules and took major style glam points in Max Mara at 2015's L.A. premiere of Disney/Pixar's Inside Out.

Fuchsia, Magenta, Oh My!

It's settled. Mindy can do no wrong. And neither can her favorite designer (and The Mindy Project's lead costumer), Salvador Perez. The actress looked doubly chic in this two-toned frock at the premiere of Inside Out during the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

Ready for a Promotion

Who else but Mindy could make this Smythe blazer, Kooples blouse, Zero + Maria pants and Jerome C. Rousseau pumps work together? The former Office star made office wear look chic at the Fox All-Star Party in 2015.

Style Star

Mindy looked sweet yet savvy in Tadashi Shoji at Fox's Summer TCA All-Star Party in 2014. Her poppy red lip contrasts perfectly against the frock's turquoise hue.

Girls Just Want to Have Fun

Easy, if you are as utterly chic and—not to mention—impervious to nonsensical style rules as Mindy. The actress opted for a boldly printed Marc by Marc Jacobs mini at Fox's Girls Night Out in 2014. And she has, dare we say, never looked better.

Award Winning

And the award goes to...Mindy, for being glamorous, more than anyone ever, we think. The actress wore this 3/4 sleeve, faded blue Salvadore Perez frock to Glamour's 2014 Women of the Year Awards.

Finder's Keepers!

No, really. That is this ensemble's maker. Mindy looked fabulous in fuschia—one of the actress' favorite hues, and for good (exceptionally skin-tone flattering) reason—at Hulu's Upfront Presentation in 2014. Also (up)front and center? These perfectly pointed, embellished Nicholas Kirkwood pumps.
