Body Confidence

Mindy blew fans’ minds with a March 25, 2022, Instagram photo showing her weight loss in a tight, plunging black gown.

That same year, the star told People how she changed her mindset when it comes to shedding pounds. “I’ve tried really hard to let go of this idea of losing weight for vanity reasons and really trying to think of how I can be healthy,” The Mindy Project alum revealed. “And for me, healthy is working out, moving my body a lot, keeping hydrated, and then not having negative connotations around working out and making me feel like if I don’t do this, then I won’t be something else.”

Party Perfection

Two days later, the star wowed at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in a Dolce & Gabbana dress featuring a tight, glittering silver bodice and a yellow skirt with a thigh-high slit.

‘Thirst Trap’

Mindy was aware of how her svelte new figure was getting plenty of attention when she captioned a March 29 closet photo in a sexy, ab-baring dress, “I promise this is my last thirst trap pic from this weekend! Now we can go back to videos of me cooking meatloaf or whatever.”

“Surprising the body with lots of different things I think is really good, particularly for my body … I’ve really been mixing it up and knowing that if a workout doesn’t necessarily make me soak my clothes with sweat, that it still was a good workout … It does not have to be punishing,” she told People that year about her fitness routine.
