Everyone is definitely not hanging out without her.
Mindy Kaling hit the Met Gala 2023 red carpet on Monday, looking stunning and svelte in a Jonathan Simkhai off-white dress.
She also hit the carpet alongside Simkhai.
The slimmed-down superstar is a Met Gala regular, having attended since 2013, but has said in the past that she finds the star-studded event particularly stressful.
The “Wrinkle in Time” actress — who has reportedly lost more than 40 pounds since welcoming her second child in 2020 — told Glamour in 2019, “Going to parties where I don’t know most of the people is stressful to me.”
Continued Kaling at the time, “I’ve always felt, not exactly a loner, but … [for example,] I love the Met Gala, but the no-plus-one thing has always been a real stressor for me.”

That hasn’t stopped the “Office” star from becoming a fixture at fashion’s biggest night.
Last year, Kaling, 43, looked lovely in a plunging purple Prabal Gurung gown with floral accents and a thigh-high slit. In 2021, she opted for a classic navy Tory Burch dress cinched with a wide black belt.
In 2019, the star embraced the evening’s camp theme by transforming into a blond bombshell, clad in a glamorous gold Moschino gown.
And in 2018, Kaling — rocking a white Vassilis Zoulias dress paired with gloves and a crown — sat next to Chadwick Boseman inside the museum and even pretended to date the “Black Panther” star.
The “Sex Lives of College Girls” creator recently showed off her fit figure at the Oscars and Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March, and has been open about her weight loss.
“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,” Kaling told “Entertainment Tonight” in April 2022.
“I wish there was something more juicy or dynamic about the way that I’ve lost a little bit of weight, but that’s the way I’ve done it.”
