'The Mindy Project' Is Auctioning off Some of Mindy's Best Costumes
Alas, The Mindy Project is coming to an end on Tuesday, but there’s one bright spot in the unyielding bleakness brought about by its finale: Mindy Lahiri’s incredible, colorful costumes and accessories are headed to auction. You read that right—and if you’ve spent the past six seasons lusting after Mindy’s wardrobe as much as you’ve followed the plot, you’re going to want in on this. There’s just one catch: You gotta act fact. Really fast.
On Monday, Hulu announced that it partnered with Universal Television and ScreenBid to auction off 45 items from the show, including costumes worn by star and producer Mindy Kaling. (If you’re not obsessing over the clothes, you should also known that they’re also auctioning off a few props.)
The auction includes the Dolce & Gabbana lemon print dress worn by Kaling in the “Princeton Charming” episode from season four, which comes with a matching yellow cardigan and Christian Louboutin white-and-tan pumps.
Or, you could try and bid on the Hervé Léger hot pink bandage dress Kaling wore in the iconic “My Cool Christian Boyfriend” episode, way back in season one. (The show is also auctioning off the very same dress in black for all your holiday LBD needs, real or conveniently invented for this occasion.)
There’s also the double-breasted magenta dress with rhinestone buttons that was made specifically by costume designer Salvador Perez for Mindy to wear when she lunched with Chris’ mom in season three’s “Annette Castellano Is My Nemesis.” Less lunch-with-the-boyfriend’s-mom is a very cozy Wildfox star knit sweater that was worn at the end of the show’s very first episode.
Other insanely wearable Mindy outfits from the show that are up for auction include a Mono B horse print sleeveless blouse, which comes with a black and white plaid Free People skirt and a yellow I Look cardigan; a black Wildfox No. 9 sequin knit sweater with black Plush heart print leggings.
There’s also a great weekend outfit in there: the AG purple scoop neck T-shirt, bebe red leatherette moto jacket, a fringed suede purse, and Ralph Lauren suede brown booties that Mindy wore to a music festival when she was dating DJ Sacrament back in season two. Bidding on that one is currently at $50, so don’t think this incredible sale is going to break the bank.
Bids right now range from $50 to $500, and according to the Los Angeles Times, 10 of the auction’s items will benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network—so we’re pretty sure any potential splurges are justifiable. The auction will kick off on Monday at 9 P.M. PST and close on November 27.
