In September, Kaling attended a Los Angeles launch event for the skin care brand Lion Pose. She’s currently an investor in the company, which recently released its Pep Talk moisturizer. Kaling modeled a red sequined V-neck minidress by Monique Lhuillier, accessorizing with minimal jewelry and nude open-toe heels.

Lion Pose was founded by Silicon Valley alums Madhu Punjabi and Nisha Phatak, who sought to develop a line suited for diverse skin tones. The brand is also currently sold at Sephora.

“My decision to come on board Lion Pose was simple,” Kaling said in a statement last year. “I found an unbeatable product that was backed by a vision I have always believed in, and one that has informed everything I do in my career. That representation and inclusion are just good business. Madhu and Nisha are deeply committed to the idea that inclusivity in clinical skin care is not the goal, but the requirement for any good product.”
