Panday’s looks were a carousel of soft fabrics and feminine cuts. She kickstarted her trip with a butter-yellow textured midi dress, styled with Chanel’s Cruise 2024/25 crochet bag and loafers. Sun-kissed makeup and semi-tousled hair added to the Italian charm. Next, a trusted pair of denim jeans with a white tank top served as staples for a touristy day.
For the show day—Chanel’s Cruise 2025/26 show, she slipped into a black dress also from the Métiers d’Art collection, styled with black sandals from the Cruise 2024/25 collection. Feather pendant earrings and kohl-rimmed eyes added the finishing touches to her ensemble.
“My sister Rysa and I don’t get to see other always since she is in Uni. We try to find time together when either one of us is travelling halfway across the globe to get some quality time in. Rysa dictates my fashion and food choices, unfortunately I have no say in either of those things when we are together,” says Panday.

“I like a little caffeine before I am about to set out for some interviews and social interaction,” says Panday.
During Mindy Kaling’s career as a sitcom star and producer there have many memorable looks that stood out, but none come as close to her Met Gala ones. From larger than life crowns to exaggerated trains, the multi-hyphenate’s appearances have been consistently eye-catching each time, getting better with each theme. That explains why the actor’s 2024 look, defined by Gaurav Gupta’s architectural flourish, has only upped the anticipation for her next one. As we inch closer to fashion’s biggest night, here’s a look at her past ensembles.
2013: Lela Rose
For her debut at the Gala that coincided with the ‘PUNK: Chaos to Couture’ theme, Kaling stepped out with actor BJ Novak, in a Lela Rose aubergine peplum gown, glamming it up with a turquoise clutch and matching rings. Her wit, however, remained her most glittering accessory that evening: “If you subvert anything, then you are punk. So I am going to be chubby and friendly tonight, and that’s as punk as you get.”

2016: Tory Burch
A custom strapless iridescent gown by Tory Burch with a clutch dusted with Swarovski crystals made up her look for ‘Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology’. Incorporated with hidden batteries and multi-pixel technology, the nifty case changed colour with shifting intensities of light.
