Mindy Kaling on Her First-Ever Swim Collection and Feeling Confident at the Beach

Mindy Kaling has partnered with body-inclusive, ethically candid brand Andie Swim on a fresh line of swimsuits for the summer ahead. Mindy x Andie includes 33 different pieces that were designed in collaboration, with a mix of Kaling's favorite silhouettes, fabrics, and colors - all of which she's very familiar with since she's been a longtime label devotee.

"For swimwear, I always need both comfort and style - neither is negotiable."

Kaling was sure to work in structured maillots (since they make her feel most confident) while also experimenting with balconette bras and textural, high-leg bottoms. "For swimwear, I always need both comfort and style - neither is negotiable," she told POPSUGAR exclusively via interview ahead of the launch on May 10. The entire range retails from $52-$128 on AndieSwim.com, though the 43-year-old mom of two is likely to post many of her favorite looks on Instagram, as she's known to do with her most colorful outfits.

Kaling, who was recently honored with the National Medal of Arts at the White House on March 21, is consistently celebrated for her work in television and as an author. The "Never Have I Ever" producer was also the recipient of the prestigious Norman Lear Award at the Producer Guild of America Awards in February. So swimwear designer is just one of the many accolades she now boasts on her résumé.

From a fashion perspective, Kaling most recently worked with Jonathan Simkhai on her 2023 Met Gala red carpet look, which featured a structural peplum corset that dropped elegantly into a floor-sweeping train and was layered over a sequin-beaded column skirt. She finished the ensemble with jewelry by Fred Leighton and Kwiat, a Jennifer Behr crystal ponytail holder, and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes at the "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty"-themed ball. While we're used to seeing her share snippets from glamorous events such as these, the Mindy x Andie news should lead her to introduce a lot more casual, season-friendly beachwear to her feed, beginning and ending with her favorites from the collection.

Ahead, read POPSUGAR's full interview with Kaling to find out which specific swim silhouettes you're bound to see her rocking.

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...
