Fans Say Mindy Kaling 'Understood the Assignment' With Her 2024 Met Gala Ensemble
Every year, the Met Gala leads to debates and strong opinions as people consider if celebrities followed the theme, but this time around, fans quickly declared that Mindy Kaling perfectly "understood the assignment" with her outfit.The actress arrived at the high-profile fashion event wearing a tan-colored gown by designer Gaurav Gupta that was called "The Melting Flower of Time," with Kaling describing the back—which was made of looping fabric flowing out behind her— as a flower "once blossoming and now melting." The fabric featured subtle sparkling stripes as it continued down her figure and into a large train.
