To further elevate her ensemble, Kaling accessorized with over-statement diamond earrings and chunky midi rings. The “Wrinkle in Time” star’s hair was parted in the middle and styled in a low ponytail. As for makeup, Kaling went with a soft smokey eye and a glossy neutral pout.

Unfortunately, the length of Kaling’s dress didn’t allow for a peak at her footwear choice. However, it is likely that pointed-toe pumps or platform sandals.
