Mindy Kaling looked stunning — and skinnier than ever — in the latest photos of her weight transformation.
The 45-year-old actress showcased her astounding new figure on Instagram on Tuesday after attending a screening of new short film Anuja, which premiered on Netflix earlier this month.
In her photos, Mindy looked shockingly svelte in a chic black button-up dress.
Despite her years-long physical transformation, which began with an impressive 40lb weight loss in 2023, the film and television star has continued to shed the pounds, though her latest photos represent a significant slimming down.
That loss continued after the surprise birth of her third child in late February of last year, which led Mindy to be swamped by fan rumors that she might be using Ozempic or similar popular weight-loss drugs.
However, she has stayed mum on rumors that she has used medications to assist her weight journey.

The item, which was decorated with velvety floral designs, featured a high collar and a row of large gold buttons running nearly up to her chin, as well as a slit highlighting her slender legs.
Her sleeveless dress also put the spotlight on her toned arms, and she accessorized with a black leather belt featuring an enormous triangular gold buckle and a matching gold belt cap.
Mindy’s dress, which also conveniently featured hip pockets, reached down to her ankles, and she elevated her stature with pointy-toed black Louboutin heels with gold puzzle piece–shaped designs over the toes.
She stayed on the gold theme with her jewelry, adding a thick, mirror-like bracelet chunky gold earrings to the mix.
The Mindy Project star tied her raven locks back in a long ponytail with a middle part, as well as a few strands casually left to dangle down the side of her face.
Her face was as impeccably styled as her outfit, and she favored a tasteful amount of blush on her cheeks and a shimmering splash of brown lipstick.
The writer and actress put on a fashion show for her 6.1 million Instagram followers, before sharing photos from the Anuja screening.
‘Thank you @netflix for hosting yesterday’s screening of @anujathefilm!’ she wrote of the film, which she is a producer on.

She gushed about getting to host a Q&A with several of the creative figures behind the American Hindi-language short film.
‘The team behind Anuja is made up of true artists and pulling off this film was such a feat,’ she added. ‘Thanks to everyone for coming out and if you haven’t had a chance to watch Anuja yet, check it out on Netflix now!!’
One photo featured Mindy taking another opportunity to show off her svelte frame as she posed with a giant Netflix display.
Anuja follows the title character, a nine-year-old who is also a talented seamstress and who works in a garment factor in Delhi, India.
But her life is thrown into chaos when she’s offered the chance to stop laboring and go to school, but the opportunity may also have unintended consequences for her sister Palak.
In May of 2023, Mindy opened up to People about the astounding first steps of her weight-loss journey as she prepared to launch a new swimwear collection.

‘I’m feeling really confident in my body these days, which is not something that I’ve been able to say for my whole life, unfortunately,’ she admitted.
‘I know people are really interested in my body and the changes in my body, and I think it’s flattering and sometimes it’s just a little much, so I don’t try to tune it in too much,’ she continued. ‘The truth is that I spend so much time and energy trying to be healthy.’
According to Mindy, she had turned to weight training to help her lose weight and gain strength, while she also got plenty of cardio exercise in the form of either running or hiking, which she alternated week to week.
She added that she always had to be ready for a workout due to her busy schedule and her parenting duties.
‘It’s hard with two kids that I wake up really early and I fit it in — and I basically live in workout clothes so I can get it in, get an extra mile in,’ she said of her children Katherine Swati, seven, and Spencer Avu, four.
That was before the surprise birth of her third child, Anne.
She announced the birth in June 2024, revealing her daughter had arrived in late February, so she is close to one year old.
So far, Mindy has declined to reveal the father of her th
Mindy has yet to disclose the father of her children, and told The New York Times in 2019, before her son was born: ‘My feeling is that, until I speak to my daughter about that, I’m not going to talk to anyone else about it.’
However, her Office co-star, B.J. Novak, is notably godfather to Katherine and Spencer.
