Mindy Kaling Chooses Sparkling Jimmy Choo Pumps to Receive a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Mindy Kaling opted for a sumptuous pair of Jimmy Choo shoes to receive a special honor in Los Angeles on Feb. 18. Recognized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the television mogul dressed up in the luxury brand’s Saeda pumps for the memorable occasion. She is the first South Asian woman to receive this honor.
Kaling, who went from writing and acting in “The Office” to creating her own hit comedy shows, chose an elegant old Hollywood aesthetic to see her name added to Hollywood history. She modeled a fitted black velvet gown which flared at the bottom into a ruched bubble skirt in a different material, lending the garment a mermaid silhouette and offering textural contrast. Among her sparkling accessories, a classic diamond necklace from Rahaminov Diamonds accentuated her sophistication.
For her shoes, Kaling wore a glittering black version of Jimmy Choo’s Saeda pump, which features a pointed toe, open sides and a crystal-adorned ankle strap including a dangling chain with a singular crystal at the bottom; additionally, a teardrop-shaped crystal hangs at the back of the shoe. The stiletto heel also stands out with a graduated line of crystals running down it, embellishing an element of a shoe that’s often left in a simple state.

A black suede version of the Saeda pump retails for $1,150 from Jimmy Choo. The Saeda is offered in other silhouettes as well — Kaley Cuoco, for example, wore a white block heel sandal version of the shoe to the Golden Globes in January.
Fresh off a myriad of successes, Kaling already has more up her sleeve. Her next venture, a comedy series called “Not Suitable for Work,” recently received a greenlight from Hulu. She also served as a producer on the Oscar-nominated short film “Anuja,” and attended a screening of it on Feb. 11 wearing black pumps from Santoni.
