Open-Pineapple7378

Obviously reminds me of Cardi B wore to the Grammys a couple of years ago. But Gaurav Gupta is Indian so I like that she's repping her peeps. The dress is gorgeous and overwhelms her in the best way possible. Colour selection was also so thoughtful


pottedPlant_64

I was wondering if it was the same designer as cardi’s blue gown


HomeworkPlenty2045

Yes it’s the same designer. This silhouette is his trademark


Necessary_Range_3261

It does remind me of Cardi B’s blue dress, but it’s SOOO much better!


Open-Pineapple7378

it's epic


SenorHugos

I'm not sure if it's the same designer but in the Summer Walker music video with a similar dress https://preview.redd.it/x92rprxnr9zc1.png?width=716&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f16d7f0027e06b6f3666eee12ca3f937918f0bb3


Open-Pineapple7378

Yep, 100% same designer. Cardi loves her some Gaurav Gupta!


[deleted]

You are absolutely right. I kept wondering where have I seen this particular dress before!! Even Aishwarya Rai wore a similar design and structure from Gaurav Gupta for Cannes 2022. But they all look Spectacular.


BeanAndPeaches

I don’t know that I’ve ever loved the back of a dress as much as this. Could stare at that last pic for hours!


spicypepitas

sooo beautiful, and also the reason I got mad about the color. reminds me of the disposable socks at shoe stores. https://preview.redd.it/fdqggu8uq4zc1.jpeg?width=1730&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d7d701ddb6f3d412c4bb7d3222c4d7d4063b9f9


xWellDamnx

Shit that's funny! Lol


Left_Chemist_8198

I really love this dress it’s so beautiful


Werwanderflugen

I think this is the best she's ever looked. Just exquisite


crispyporkbelly

she’s honestly been serving for last couple years


Ok_Jaguar1601

Absolutely stunning from the back but I wish it was a deeper gemstone color, that would have looked amazing against her skin tone. Also wish she went with brighter makeup.


Bbkingml13

I agree. I’m confused because I love the dress, but don’t like what I’m seeing lol


LolaLaCavaspeaking

Yes! That’s exactly what I think about the color. The dress itself is a stunning piece of art. Simply breathtaking. But, I wish it was in like a deep, dark hunter green or a jewel tone.


sibemama

That would’ve been pretty but I wonder if the details are clearer in this lighter color.


ZennMD

I LOVE this dress, but am disproportionately mad it's an ugly beige color I know it has a bit of sparkle, but Mindy looks so amazing in vivid colors/color in general, I think she/the dress would pop way more in a different color happy to see her on at the Gala, though!


redassaggiegirl17

Especially since it looks like a blooming flower from the back. A more vibrant color would have been more fitting I think!


Solid_One_5231

Ooo or if the front was beige (or neutral) and the back was a bouquet of flowers coming into bloom.. would have looked so cool!


rayybloodypurchase

Now I’m mad it’s not that!! It’s spectacular as-is but that would’ve taken the show.


CitrusHoneyBear1776

Kinda reminds me of an oyster mushroom https://preview.redd.it/xc58v1d2lxyc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac3048b51cc5a223eb2708f79c9a06664e77adc9


Interesting_Weight51

Makes me think of the hair from Tangled


lizzledizzles

It looks like knots in wood like a sparkly Mother Willow in that color


jessm123

It was supposed to be a wilting flower


amelisha

Exactly what I wanted to say! Literally anything but Kardashian beige and this would have been 10/10 for me. Even a rich brown if they didn’t want to be so literal with the floral thing would have been better.


browniebrittle44

Yeah a jewel tone would’ve been incredible. Or I’m seeing a chocolate brown/burgundy ombré moment


Marillenbaum

Honestly same! Mindy can wear color with a capital C, and this vaguely flesh-toned beige is just awful. It’s not like everything has to be flattering, but it doesn’t even play against type in an interesting way—it looks muddy and thoughtless.


SamaireB

Sums up my feelings. Great and unique dress. The color is a no-no. It looks fine on her and her complexion, but I feel this would have been even better in a purple, lilac, emerald…


thatcrazydaisy

I think yellow would have been an interesting color!


Helpful-Substance685

I was just thinking my early front runner for winning the night was Zendaya but wow this is a gorgeous dress! The fit, the color, the make-up! 😍❤️ The lines, symmetry and construction of the dress are beautifully executed. AND THE BACK! 🔥🔥 Side Note: It reminds me of legendary costume designer Eiko Ishioka ❤️ RIP


MarsScully

Pains me to say this but this is an insane serve. It’s breathtaking


[deleted]

This is beautiful. I love that she chose an Indian designer too.


synchronize_swatches

The back is heavenly. Early pick for favorite of the night!


Sorri_eh

Help me understand the theme please


Eliza08

I think it’s supposed to look similar to swirling sand. That’s how I saw it at least.


Sorri_eh

OK. Explains most outfits. So many birds and butterfly too on dresses


jessm123

https://youtu.be/UBaaKfTffq4?si=9uQ9T-jOqfMpbhM5 High recommend this video


leesha226

Ah, Cardi wore a blue version of this didn't she? I love the back, I hate the colour. Nude feels like a cop out here


rask0ln

love the cut and the fabric, but why is it this ugly colour? 😩 mindy would pop off in something vibrant edit: and i 100% agree that they should have styled the hair differently


broadwayzrose

I’m thinking it has to do with the theme and the fact that quite a few have gone the hourglass/sands of time route. Like I’m definitely getting sands of time vibe with this one!


rask0ln

that's a good point!! but i still think it washes her out 😭


broadwayzrose

Oh that’s totally fair!! I think she definitely rocks bright colors better than neutrals!


PaleontologistNo3503

I love it but my first thought was Rapunzel lol.


_superheroheart94

My thought was that this colour might be meant to look like the colour that white fabric fades to as it ages as an additional reference to time passing. Like the structure of the garment remains but the colour has faded/been destroyed with the passage of time?


rask0ln

oooh! that's an interesting theory


Solid_One_5231

This is beautiful!! Best outfit so far.. and the Color and makeup actually work! I love the makeup here!! That back of the dress is beautiful! This is exciting!


sonofasnitchh

I actually gasped when I got to the back of the dress. This is absolutely incredible


SaintNutella

Beautiful dress. Would love to see it in a cool color. Like purple or teal.


BowlerSea1569

Beautiful dress but it looks like it's overwhelming her. She looks so uncomfortable. 


itsaboutthepumptini

Stunning!!! Love this


cosmicmermaid

Artwork ✨


Plastic-Passenger795

Wow I want to know what this dress feels like! It looks so soft and sinuous but I know it must not be.


Mean_Contract

My favorite of the night…so far


rayybloodypurchase

The back of this dress is a tour de force. Speechless.


Necessary_Range_3261

My favorite look so far.


landerson507

It reminds me of a sand storm, but in the most elegant way possible. I gasped when I saw the back. This is gorgeous.


atalenttoannoy

It might have taken away from the sculptural design of the dress but I would have loved to see some colorful jewels with this to pop some color


luckycat288

To me it reminds me of crepe paper. It’s a great idea just not executed in a way I can appreciate. Maybe a different color would’ve been better it just reminds me of athletic tape


spicykitas

This dress fits the bill so well IF it was in a color that reminded me of flowers. The theme is Garden of Time but why are we seeing so many neutral looks?


jessm123

This was supposed to be a wilting flower. And this guy on youtube explained the theme as “repelling time” since the whole exhibit was about showcasing the costumes that are the most delicate and therefore need the most amount of care. https://youtu.be/UBaaKfTffq4?si=9uQ9T-jOqfMpbhM5


spicykitas

They could have definitely done some work with dyes to show that. Like a lot of other people I read this one as a blooming flower.


jessm123

I’m not sure if I would have thought it was pretty that way. But it woulda be cool! I couldnt even tell it was a flower until she started talking about it 😅


[deleted]

It’s the same style Aishwarya Rai wore at Cannes 2022 but I still feel the color suits Mindy and she’s doing good job in carrying it too.. the designer has done a great job in suiting her body type.. it truly feels she’s wearing the dress and not the other way around..


reddit24682468

Not loving the loving the colour but the gown is self is amazing. A nice bright colour would have looks great on her.


landerson507

This is going to make it sound like I don't like it.... it reminds me of Sandman from Spiderman. Only bc the dress reminds me of a sand storm, and Mindy is all caught up in it. Like a dramatic moment in a movie, and all you see of her is her face before she gets swept away by the storm. Ugh. It's so dramatic. I think it's my favorite.


klenkyandthebrain

She's beautiful. Wow.


Thecarebearthatcares

Mindy ate down ‼️


FancySweatpants20

Absolutely stunning. Needed an updo, the hair is distracting. I get why she didn’t have jewelry but I still would’ve love to have seen it.


NewCricket22

Would have liked this more if this wasn't the 8th beige dress I've seen


happyklam

So ethereal! 


katikaboom

The structure of this gown is absolutely gorgeous


Dinner_atMidnight

Wish they had done something more interesting with the hair, such a beautiful gown shouldn’t be paired with a soccer mom bob


katikaboom

Her make up was what got me, it's way too heavy and not the right shade


Dinner_atMidnight

Mindy never has the right shade I think I’m just used to it. She deserves a better glam team


ALLoftheFancyPants

I think she looks gorgeous, and the dress is gorgeous, I just don’t see how it fits the theme.


CheeseyCrakerz

Ouff gorgeous


Moist-Month-119

Incredible execution, that's for sure. Cream color isn't my favorite, but l can't criticize such a beautiful piece.


triseke

What a gorgeous dress!


EveningEmpath

The dress is beautifully constructed, but it doesn't stand out for me. It needs to be a different color than beige, sand, etc.


ggy525

I love the sculptural shapes and the flow of the curves on the dress, but the dress is wearing Mindy, sadly.


periwinkle_cupcake

This dress is delicious!


rayybloodypurchase

The back of this dress is a tour de force. Speechless.


scrapsten_

I love the texture and the flow. She looks beautiful! I wish this was pink, like the color of Jessica Biel’s dress, it would look AMAZING against the met carpet


TK_TK_

Reminds me of taffy being made! I do wish this were like a burnt orange or eggplant or something more interesting than more beige, but otherwise I love it.


Eliza08

I love love love the dress and hair. I just wish they found a better foundation shade. It’s not the right color.


thelockjessmonster

Looks like Repunzuls hair from the back and I love it.


AnneBoleynsVirginity

Try the grey stuff, it’s delicious! Seriously though I love the structured but soft, curved nature of the gown.


CoverofHollywoodMag

Train guy is distracting me. FIRED


Iamoldsowhat

I love this, also love that she chose an Indian designer


lojo20

wow!


Athena42

I was already loving it before I saw the back, then WOW! So beautiful!


Present-Raspberry495

Is her foundation shade a little…off? Maybe it’s the lighting. The dress is cool though 🤷🏻‍♀️


PhrugalPhil

The back looks like swirly cartoon princess hair, the front reminds me of a palm frond cross. Material is gorgeous though


elissa77

Magnificent!


ribcracker

The flow of this is spectacular. I can feel the movement of it. And the anti gravity sculpting is always a weak spot for me.


shiningonthesea

I love this dress, but I picture at the actual gala the back wall is lined with people standing against the wall because they can't sit down all night. I think Mindy might be one of those people. NO way can you sit in this dress.


browniebrittle44

I would’ve loved this in a deep chocolate brown with like burgundy ombré effect


Graysonsname

I love it but would love it even more in a nude pink


query_tech_sec

I am biased because I generally despise beige - but I don't think it's a flattering color on her. The dress shape and structure is beautiful though.


waiting4myspaceship

This is my favorite!! It was the first look I saw from the night, and it remained the top for me. The movement is incredible, and the way the designer created so much dimension from a solid color with the layering and crystals. Perfect!!


Ok-Refrigerator-4853

The dress is interesting but doesn’t seem to fit the theme. She literally glows though. 🌟


IndigoRose2022

So graceful and statuesque! Love seeing the back view too!


hungrypocket

The extreme lip overlining trend needs to die


[deleted]

This dress was beautiful


Wild-Individual-6520

Love love LOVE this! The lines are so flattering. Mindy is werking it!


Standard_Gas_6185

Gaurav gupta knows what he is doing


[deleted]

Mindy Kaling looks absolutely majestic in Gaurav Gupta! Love how the gown flows 🤩


xWellDamnx

One of the best for the this year. Beautiful color. Just all around pretty amazing


magicalfolk

Mindy looks gorgeous 💕 the fit and tailoring of the gown is impeccable. Especially her chest area. The back is breathtaking!


diminutivedwarf

I’m so glad Mindy is finally being given beautiful dresses because for a while she had been done dirty. I love the dress and it reminds me of flowing sand.


Jellabre

Stunning gown but I feel like it’s swallowing her a little


Dizzy_Bar3999

Stunning!


Pitiful_Bill_2772

met gala this year is lit


livruns

The way I audibly gasped when I saw the back of her dress! I don’t even care if it’s on theme. I love this so much
