Mindy Kaling has recently become a one-woman fashion show while on a mini press tour, but her latest hairstyle is the true scene-stealer. On Mar. 6, Kaling was spotted in New York City heading to a 'Today Show' appearance, as she continues to promote her new Netflix series Running Point like the boss woman she is. For the occasion, Kaling wore a gorgeous long-sleeved mini dress with intricate gold buttons, red pointed-toe heels, and a matching red bag. Still, I couldn’t keep my eyes off of her razor-sharp lob hairstyle.
While Kaling is no stranger to short hair, the actor seems to be having a bit more fun with her hairstyles recently. On Mar. 2, she was spotted at the Oscars with an elegant low ponytail that ended just above her lower back, then on the 5th she wore loose waves and curtain bangs while hosting an intimate discussion about Running Point with Kate Hudson. Her latest look is one of our favorite iterations of the lob—pin straight, grazes the tips of her shoulders, and perfectly flatters her face thanks to a deep side part. It's the time of look that suggests you command the boardroom every day and look damn good doing it. A neutral-toned cat eye, nude lipstick, and a short French manicure completed the gorgeous look.
Lob haircuts are perfect for anyone who doesn’t fully want to commit to a pixie or bob, but still wants the ease of a shorter haircut. The style has been worn by celebrities like Selena Gomez, Millie Bobby Brown, Viola Davis, and more, and it’s incredibly versatile, especially if you’re growing out your bob á la Hailey Bieber.
