Mindy Kaling Asked Her Mom If She Could Buy These Expensive Heels, and It's the Most Relatable Story Ever

If you've watched The Office, you're probably well-aware that Mindy Kaling's hysterical character Kelly Kapoor is more than obsessed with fashion (and, of course, Ryan Howard). The actress and writer went on to play another fashion-obsessed character, Mindy Lahiri, on her hit show The Mindy Project. See a connection yet? Mindy's got some serious style IRL, and we're pretty sure both of these characters would die over the fact that she's DSW's brand ambassador now.

We got the chance to chat with Mindy a couple of days before the Met Gala about her new partnership with footwear and accessories retailer DSW. (If you haven't seen her amazing Moschino outfit and platinum blond hair from the gala, you're truly missing out.)

The actress chatted with us about how her partnership with the retailer started - spoiler: she actually bought her prom shoes there! - and went on to tell the most relatable story about buying a pair of shoes with her mom's approval. We even got her to choose shoes based on the personalities of her famous characters Kelly and Mindy:

"For Kelly, she had such an aspirational style, but she realistically made 20K a year. I could totally see her wearing a pair of Kate Spade shoes with a bow on the front. Kate Spade is a really high-end brand for her local mall, so she'd really like that. Something with a chunky heel in a bright color. For Mindy, I wore a lot of crazy nine-inch heels, and I can totally picture her in a pair of cool Nicholas Kirkwood heels."

Keep reading to find out why Mindy called her mom before buying shoes and more of our hysterical interview.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
