Mindy Kaling Just Went Platinum at the Met Gala

For the 2019 Met Gala, Mindy went there. She walked the ~~red~~ pink carpet in newly long, platinum hair. This change happened for the event, specifically—she was photographed as recently as May 4 wearing her usual dark black, shoulder-length hair.

Even though it's likely a wig, we have never seen Kaling undergo such a drastic hair transformation.

Let's take another look from a different angle—because it's that good.

It definitely matches her metallic, long gown for an all-over "golden goddess" effect. The rest of her look is pared-down with perfected, filter-like bronze skin, rose-nude lips, and thick black, spidery lashes. Makeup artist Janice Kinjo, using Burt's Bees, also applied a little frosting on the inner corners of her to add even more of an ethereal effect.

Come to think of it, the gold is kind of reminiscent of the golden gown her character wore to the Met Gala heist during Ocean's 8. No platinum hair here, though—IRL, Mindy is clearly more daring.

To prep for this year's Met Gala, Kaling got a facial with celeb-favorite esthetician Joanna Vargas and used her Bright Eye Firming Mask. "Pre-Met Eye Depuffer!" Kaling wrote on Instagram Stories.

She also showed off her matching golden manicure.

Last year, Kaling definitely dressed for the theme, "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" by wearing a crown atop a low chignon. Aside from the crown, we have to admit she kept it pretty safe as far as hair and makeup goes. Glad we're seeing her step out of her comfort zone for 2019!

Giant Italian-Style Hoagie

Wrap entire hoagie tightly in plastic wrap, then cut crosswise into 4 even sections. (The plastic wrap acts sort of like a girdle, holding in all of the meat, cheese, and veg so that they won't fly out you slice smaller segments. It also acts as insurance in case the parchment paper gets damp.) If you're taking your sandwich out into the world, wrap again in plastic or return to bag or sleeve that bread came in to hold it all together for easy transporting.
