Mindy Kaling in Badgley Mischka at ELLE’s Women in Television Celebration

It’s funny. Lorenzo said she never looked better and Tom could not have disagreed more.

Badgley Mischka Embellished Chiffon Gown

Having said that, Tom doesn’t hate it and Lorenzo was kind of making a backhanded compliment, since he’s not thrilled with it either. We’re both in agreement on one thing: it should be a gown. It looks so much better with the skirt to the floor. You cut it off and this starts looking like the first layer of a boudoir ensemble.  It’s not terrible, but all the drama went out of it when it turned into a cocktail dress. We were actually a little surprised this was a Badgley Mischka, since it’s so low-key. They trade in big and glamorous most of the time. This was – again, as a gown, mind you – chic and simple, with an interesting detail in the straps. She would’ve rocked this at gown length, although it might’ve been too much for this event.
