Mindy Kaling looked almost like a Kardashian when she was spotted in Los Angeles this Wednesday heading to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

The 45-year-old has spent the past few years undergoing an astonishing weight loss transformation and now looks a far cry from her early days of fame on The Office.

In 2023, she appeared at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party looking so slimmed down that she set off wild Ozempic rumors – which she has not publicly addressed.

She was glammed up for her latest outing, rocking a slinky skinтιԍнт black dress that would not look out of place on Kim Kardashian.

Her neckline plunged far enough to flaunt her cleavage, and the frock was cinched in at the waistline to heighten the hourglᴀss effect.

Below the waist, the garment was covered in glistening sequins, amplifying the air of showbiz glitz around the figure-hugging ensemble.  

Mindy Kaling looked almost like a Kardashian when she was spotted in Los Angeles this Wednesday heading to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Early in 2022 she ignited a storm of chatter online after posting several Instagram pH๏τos that showcased her noticeably reduced frame.

She commented on the change that April, explaining that she did not deny herself any of the foods she wanted but merely exercised portion control.

‘Honestly, I didn’t really do anything differently,’ the The Mindy Project star insisted while discussing her diet with Entertainment Weekly.

The Late Night actress stated: ‘I eat what I like to eat. If I do any kind of restrictive diet, it never really works for me. I just eat less of it.’

A month later she clarified: ‘I’m never going stop being a foodie. I’m never going be someone who can just have spinach and salmon every day,’ via Today. I just am really for the first time in my life, trying moderation, and I love it.’

When she appeared at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March 2023, she looked even slenderer, with some online observers theorizing she had lost as much as 40lbs.

Rumors started flying about how she lost the weight, particularly after it emerged that she gave birth to her third child – her daughter Anne – that February.

Although she did not publicly comment on the conjecture about Ozempic, she did offer some insight into her workout routine a couple of months later.

She shared that she loved to hike or run, and covered 20 miles per week doing one or the other activity, in a May 2023 interview with People.

‘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. I feel great,’ she declared.

‘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. The truth is that I spend so much time and energy trying to be healthy.’ 

Along with Anne, Mindy is mother to Katherine, seven, and Spencer, four, but has been ᴀssiduously private about who fathered her children.
