Froyo Date
In the season two finale, airing on May 8, Mindy Kaling will have an impressive 23 costume changes in the 22-minute episode. We chatted with costume designer Salvador Perez, who custom made some of the pieces for the Fox hit's star and creator, about some of the looks.
"For the season finale, we had the huge task of putting together 23 outfits for Mindy in the episode, we knew we would be shooting a montage in New York City," Perez told us. "The shots would be quick, so I wanted to make an impact with color. I put Mindy in blocks of color, as Mindy can wear color so beautifully."

Inspired by '70s
Of, this '70s-inspired look, Perez said, "We also had the opportunity to design and make some of the outfits, including her final outfit: the rose pink plaid vest and skirt with polka dot blouse and matching tie. I wanted a modern version of a 1970s woman's suit. It's one of my favorite outfits of the season."
