A big step! Mindy Kaling tried something new in the fashion department.

The Office alum, 43, revealed via Instagram on Sunday, December 18, that after years of not wearing “winter white,” she gave the classic shade a try — and the risk paid off. “I never wear winter white,” the TV writer wrote alongside the social media slideshow, which showed her rocking an ivory mini dress paired with a matching blazer, sheer black tights and towering platform heels.

Kaling explained that she typically avoided the hue because she was “always so worried about it not being flattering and also about dropping food on it.” She continued: “Last night [my stylist] @mollyddickson took me out of my comfort zone with this amazing satin blazer and strapless mini by @magdabutrym.

The Never Have I Ever creator added: “No red wine stains anywhere! Here’s to trying more new fashion risks this year!”

Kaling’s figure-hugging frock, which highlighted her slim figure, featured protruding flowers and a cutout at the bodice. The comedian complemented the look by styling her dark tresses in a side part as it cascaded straight down her shoulders. For her glam, Kaling opted for a smoky eye and a deep purple lip.
