Mindy Kaling, 46, looks thinner than ever in a miniskirt after losing 40lb thanks to a very simple exercise
Mindy Kaling looked very slender on Thursday evening in a pale beige short-sleeved jacket and matching miniskirt with black heels.
The Office veteran has lost 40lb in recent years thanks to a very simple exercise routine: she told Prevention in 2024 that she started power walking all the time, even when on business calls.
The 46-year-old actress was at the ILIA Beauty launch of its new Skin Blur Serum Concealer.
It was an exclusive event at the brand’s Complexion Residency pop-up in Los Angeles.
Hosted by founder Sasha Plavsic, the evening brought together a star-studded crowd that included Kaling as well as Mandy Moore, Danai Gurira, Steph Shep, Nikki Reed and AnnaLynne McCord.

It was an immersive experience centered on the intersection of skincare and makeup.
Guests were getting a first look at the new high-performance formula.
From March 7 through March 8, the general public is invited to check out the Complexion Residency: a two-day pop-up celebrating ILIA’S latest launch, plus their LA holy grail beauty and wellness finds.
Kaling addressed her major weight-loss transformation in a January social media post while sharing throwback photos from nearly a decade ago.
The actress admitted she ‘almost didn’t post because I look different,’ but avoided touching on the ongoing rumors she used weight loss jabs to lose weight.
For the past year, she has consistently shown off her slimmer and slimmer physique amid her personal health journey.
The screenwriter and producer partook in the 2016 challenge, in which social media users posted throwback photos to reflect on the past decade.
‘I saw this 2016 trend and loved it and almost didn’t post because I look different but these pics are too fun not to share,’ she wrote in her caption before adding in parentheses about other people feeling the same.

In 2023, she opened up about how she started on her health journey after having children.
She is a mother to Katherine ‘Kit’ Swati Kaling, eight, Spencer ‘Spike’ Avu Kaling, five, and Anne Kaling, who turns two in February.
Kaling has never shared the identity of her children’s father, though many fans have speculated it could be their godfather, BJ Novak, her costar-slash-fellow showrunner on The Office, based on their on-screen chemistry and longtime friendship.
‘Look I know I’m clearly materialistic but the best birthday gift to me, for the rest of my life, are these two guys,’ she wrote about her two eldest kids on Instagram in 2023, the year before she welcomed her third child.
‘I was never a “kid” person. When my mom passed through, it just clicked in me: I wanted kids with such intense certainty. I bet some of you can relate.’
‘I’m just trying to be present for them (hard for me! I’m impatient!), being up for anything (again hard for me, I am not whimsical!), and stay healthy for these two guys (ALSO hard! I just want to eat cheesesteaks every meal in front of the TV) for until I’m an old gray skeleton they’re like “Mom, you gotta go.”
‘My doctor told me that this year I was the healthiest I’ve been in years. That’s a pretty d*** good gift, right?’
In April 2022, she told ET that she lost weight without limiting herself to which foods she can or cannot eat.

She also wore a Chucky-inspired outfit paired with an eye mask and light saber in another picture in 2016 as part of the throwback trend
‘I eat what I like to eat. If I do any kind of restrictive diet, it never really works for me. I just eat less of it. I wish there was something more juicy or dynamic about the way that I’ve lost a little bit of weight, but that’s the way I’ve done it.’
The Running Point co-creator has never admitted to taking a trendy GLP-1 agonist drug but, rather, credited her slimmed down frame to portion control, increased hydration, weight training, yoga and 15 to 20-mile walks per week.
‘In my 20s, I had this very certain idea of what “being fit” really meant,’ Kaling told E! News in 2022.
‘You had to run a seven-minute mile and eat this amount of carbs and proteins. It took me a long time to realize that there are lots of different ways to be fit.’
