Mindy Kaling joined Chrissy Teigen in leading the glamorous stars in attendance at the 2026 Gold Gala on Saturday evening. The Office star, 46, showed off her trim and transformed physique after a years-long health journey as she posed on the red carpet.
Kaling's Stunning Look
The actress-comedienne looked phenomenal in a green and blue gown featuring intricate embroidery, sparkling sequins and gilded gold details. Paired with the sleeveless, high-neck dress, Kaling styled her raven black tresses in an elegant updo with side-swept bangs. Kaling, who has lost a reported 40lbs on her weight-loss journey, accessorized with dainty, diamond jewelry.
She highlighted her natural beauty with a sultry, smoky eye paired with bright pink blush and a dark nude lip gloss. For the gala and AAPI month, Kaling dressed to impress in a sleeveless, patterned dress with intricate gold details.
Teigen's Bold Ensemble
Meanwhile, Teigen, 40, went for a more eccentric and bold look in couture. On the star-studded red carpet, she was joined by her husband John Legend, 47. For the soirée, Teigen wore a black gown with a baby blue, balloon-inspired drop-hem skirt. While Teigen's dress featured a black bodice at the top and a pale blue skirt at the bottom, her husband went for the opposite as he sported a white tuxedo jacket and dark dress pants.
The Grammy-winning musician looked handsome in a white tuxedo jacket with black, sequin piping to go with his bow tie, perfectly tailored dress pants and shiny, patent leather shoes. The stylish pair posed on the champagne gold 'red carpet' in juxtaposing but complementary outfits.
Event Highlights
The attendees gathered at the Gold House Gold Gala to honor the 2026 Gold100 List. The theme for this year is A New Gold World and is 'a call to build shared abundance in an era increasingly defined by division.' Many A-list stars will be honored at the event for their contributions to culture across multiple categories and industries.
Special honorees for the night included Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Charles Melton, Jet Li, Simu Liu, Eileen Gu and many more. The fifth annual Gold Gala was held at the Music Center in downtown Los Angeles over the weekend to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage and culture for AAPI month.
