Mindy Kaling might be one of our favorite people to watch [1] work a red carpet. That's not just because we love her quirky, girlie sense of style — it's because she gets as excited about all the pomp and circumstance as we would if we found ourselves surrounded by celebrities in a gorgeous designer gown. So when she arrived at the Emmy Awards [2] in a bold red Kenzo column dress, we couldn't help but give her a round of applause. It was a more sophisticated look than we're used to seeing, and she kept her accessories — Jimmy Choo sandals, a Kotur box clutch, and a Swarovski ear cuff — understated. Did her look win in your eyes?
