Mindy Kaling Shines in Gold at ‘Running Point’ Premiere
Mindy Kaling turned heads on the red carpet at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles with her stunning appearance at the ‘Running Point’ premiere. The comedian was present at the launch party for the new 10-episode series, which centres on Kate Hudson, who unexpectedly inherits her family’s Los Angeles basketball team after her brother, played by Justin Theroux, is forced out of the scene due to a scandal.
Kaling, 45, wore a figure-hugging gold gown with gold leaf appliqués on the sheath skirt with sequins and other decorations for the premiere. In order to highlight the elaborate intricacies of her dress, she wore few accessories. Three silver rings completed her ensemble.
She wore a glossy brown lip, gold and bronze eyeshadow, with a hint of rose pink blush. To complete the glitzy look, she tossed her long black hair behind her back in loose waves.

Kaling has a reputation for turning heads on the red carpet. She needed help navigating the Met Museum’s stairs because of the enormous Gaurav Gupta gown she wore to the prior year’s Met Gala. The dress’s translucent layers and curled draping elements on the sweetheart neckline bodice gave it an airy, ethereal sense despite its dramatic proportions. A touch of glitter was imparted by delicate silver embellishments. She wore her short haircut in gentle curls and wore minimal makeup, save for a smoky eye so that the dress would be the main attraction.
Kaling’s affinity for strong female characters is evident in both her television work and the books she chooses to publish under her Amazon Publishing label, Mindy’s Book Studio, which debuted in 2022. Kaling follows this tradition with ‘Running Point’. Stories about ambitious, underappreciated women with huge personalities and secrets appeal to her.

‘Never Have I Ever’, ‘Champions’, and ‘The S*x Lives of College Girls’, her earlier series, all had strong female leads. Hudson and Brenda Song head the cast of ‘Running Point’, which is similar. In addition to Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Jay Ellis, and Max Greenfield, Kaling co-created the series alongside Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen.
On 27th February, the series will make its OTT debut.
