Mindy Kaling turned heads in New York City as she continued her press tour for the upcoming Netflix series Running Point. While her stylish outfit impressed, it was her sharp new hairstyle that stole the spotlight.
Kaling arrived for a Today Show appearance wearing a chic long-sleeved mini dress with gold buttons, paired with red pointed heels and a matching handbag. But it was her sleek lob—cut to just graze her shoulders and styled pin-straight with a deep side part—that stood out most. The hairstyle perfectly framed her face and added polish to the powerful look.
The actor, writer, and producer has been showcasing a variety of hairstyles in recent days. On March 2, she appeared at the Oscars with a low, elegant ponytail. Just days later, she wore loose waves and curtain bangs while hosting a conversation about Running Point with Kate Hudson. Her latest lob is perhaps the most commanding yet, offering a balance of edge and sophistication.
Kaling finished the look with a soft, neutral cat eye, nude lipstick, and a classic short French manicure.
Lob (long bob) haircuts are a favorite among celebrities and offer a stylish option for those wanting the convenience of shorter hair without fully committing to a pixie or traditional bob. The style is both versatile and flattering, with stars like Selena Gomez and Viola Davis embracing the cut in recent years.
As Kaling continues her press appearances, one thing is clear—her style evolution is as dynamic as her career.
