Mindy Kaling Style on The Mindy Project
29 Reasons The Mindy Project Is a Fashion Girl's Favorite Show
After three seasons of The Mindy Project, we've developed a pretty serious girl crush on Mindy Kaling. She's the complete package: smart, funny, and stylish. Her alter ego, Mindy Lahiri, is no different. And while we were devastated when Fox canceled the show after three seasons, Hulu's picked it up — and the new season's streaming as we speak. Now we can enjoy our favorite print-mixing, neon-loving ob-gyn for a while longer.
Speaking of style, it's clear the character's bold sense of style doesn't fall far from the creator's tree: Dr. Lahiri's — aka Mindy's — fashion rules are ones we typically turn to in times of need. So the next time you are staring at your closet, deliberating over the most crucial of fashion decisions — like, "Can I seriously pull off horizontal stripes?" or "Do I really need another floral-print dress?" — instead ask yourself . . . "What would Mindy do?"
