‘More than a little standing dress only!’ Mindy Kaling shows off her figure in tight scarlet outfit after losing 40 pounds

Mindy Kaling showed off her incredible figure in a scarlet bodycon dress for a new Instagram post on Monday.

The 43-year-old actress and comedian – who has previously opened up about losing 40 pounds – was wowed by the mini dress which showed off her petite waist and toned legs.

The robe covered her left shoulder while her right remained uncovered. She paired the dress with tall black high heels.

Her black hair fell down her back and she wore large earrings.

She was carrying a black handbag and her lips were painted dark pink.

The Office star captioned the photos, “More of a standing dress only,” referring to the length of the dress.

Earlier this year, the mother-of-two revealed she had managed to lose weight recently by continuing to ‘eat what I like to eat’ – but ‘less’.

Weight loss: Earlier this year, the mum-of-two revealed she had achieved her recent weight loss by continuing to ‘eat what I like to eat’ – but ‘less’.

“Honestly, I haven’t done anything different,” she told Entertainment Weekly in April.

The Office alumnus said, “I eat what I like to eat. If I do any type of restrictive diet, it never really works for me. I just eat less.

Mindy, however, adopted a much stricter weight loss diet after welcoming daughter Katherine.

“After I had my daughter, I had to shoot a movie two months later, so I was like, ‘Just give me grilled salmon and sautéed spinach. I’m gonna eat this for three months,” Mindy told Project Star.

Kaling also recently has partnered with Amazon to launch its own story studio – Mindy’s Book Studio.

The star penned two bestselling New York Times memoir – Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me? And why not me ?.

“I like to write and I like to read. It makes me a better writer,” the bestselling author said. “And the mission of Mindy’s Book Studio, which is an imprint of Amazon Publishing, is to really shine a light on emerging women and voices, established voices and women of color.”

The multi-hyphenated star’s first book is The Vibrant Years by Sonali Dev on December 1.

The book tells the heartfelt story of three generations of Indian women – and the juicy and fun events that happen in their lives.

Next year, Mindy’s Book Studio will publish I’ll Stop the World by Lauren Thoman in April 2023.
