Of course, fabulous writer-actress-producer-comedian-author-supermom Mindy Kaling would enlist the likes of another incredible multi-hyphenate to dress her for Hollywood’s biggest night. Stylist-TV-host-supermom Jessica Mulroney has been styling Mindy since last year and is also the fashionable mind behind Kaling’s latest Oscars look.Mindy stepped out to present at the 92nd Oscars Sunday in elegant marigold Dolce & Gabbana and couldn't help but gush all about Jessica to her husband/etalk host Ben Mulroney on the red carpet."His brilliant, genius wife, Jessica Mulroney, is staying with me and got me ready," she told etalk. "This night is all about elegance and there are a lot of nice adjectives you can use about me but 'elegant' I don't think is always the thing. Approachable! Fun!—that's kinda more my vibe, so I wanted to do something really elegant."

Jessica has been working sartorial magic in Mindy’s closet with vibrant offerings from designers like Oscar de la Renta (a Mindy fave), Jimmy Choo and Ralph Lauren since mid-2019. Better yet, Mulroney highlights Canadian designers when she gets the chance, like early-on in their collaboration when she convinced Mindy that not only could she rock a suit, she should rock a Canadian suit.Back in June, Mindy posted one of her now-signature closet OOTD shots wearing an artfully tailored navy suit by up-and-coming Canadian brand Landscape. She captioned on Instagram: “The magical [Jessica Mulroney] wrote me and said she could ‘picture me in a suit.’ I did not believe her but here I am, obsessed.”Honestly, we are too.
And so began a beautiful and stylish partnership. Since then, Jess has styled Mindy during an appearance on A Little Late with Lilly Singh, while she hit up events like the Elle Women in Hollywood gala and, most recently, to host the Costume Designers Guild Awards (in three different looks, we might add).Jessica has dressed Canadian celebs like Sophie Grégoire Trudeau and Shania Twain in the past and regularly serves as a TV fashion guru on Cityline and Good Morning America. She’s also well known as BFF to royalty Meghan Markle.[video_embed id='1895428']Here’s a sneak peek at the 2020 Oscars red carpet[/video_embed]The fashion and wedding expert’s most recent venture involves giving deserving couples a second shot at their perfect big day on the upcoming CTV show, I Do Redo. Jessica, who serves as host and executive producer, is joined by floral and event designer Caspar Haydar, where they restage the dream weddings of couples whose original nuptials were derailed by unforeseen circumstances. From rescuing dreams to styling stars, Jess is already stacking up a busy 2020 with the unscripted lifestyle show to premiere March 22.The pairing of Mindy and Jessica is all the more endearing and adorable when you check out their interactions online. Yes, we LOVE a fashion moment but what we love even more is watching Jessica gush over the dazzling human that is Mindy Kaling and Mindy quipping back with remarks like “How can I be so pretty yet so down the earth?” She’s right. How is it even possible?[video_embed id='1894273']RELATED: What’s inside the 2020 Oscars swag bag?[/video_embed]
