Mindy Kaling Puts a Bow on Her Big Year With Fanciful Emmys Look

Mindy Kaling is back in the office—and by that, we mean she’s back on the red carpet. 

Six years after she last appeared in-person at the Emmys, Mindy stepped out at the 2021 award show on Sunday, Sept. 19, in a black bow gown by Carolina Herrera

, which really embraced a “black tie” theme. She channeled old-time glamour by styling her long hair in soft curls.

Mindy last attended in 2015, when she presented onstage alongside Zachary Levi. She made a virtual appearance in 2020 as well, and 

The Television Academy invited her to return this year to present an award during the star-studded evening, meaning fans will get to hear her crack a few jokes later tonight.

Mindy, despite being nominated six times, has not received an Emmy Award. It’s been a decade since she even received a nomination, when The Office

was up for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2011.
