Diwali

Mindy Kaling in Falguni Shane Peacock

She looks WONDERFUL (the skirt, she said on IG, is called a lehenga). This event also probably smelled fantastic? Mindy also wore a stunning orange ensemble later in the week, which you should definitely see.

This is also amazing, and if you're assuming that I'm getting anxiety from seeing her skirt swish near the candles, YOU ARE CORRECT. Even though I know it's fine.

Lilly Singh

Lilly threw an event later in the week, and wore a red coat similar to this one; both are fab. This one is such a showpiece.

Meena Harris in Nina Sarin Arias

Meena's company, Phenomenal, sponsored the night, and she had a childhood friend design the gown -- which she said is paisley but which her grandmother would call "mango print." Anne Shirley would approve of her sleeves.

Richa is in Mindy's "Never Have I Ever." I love that all the little paillettes on this appear to be hearts.

Sivakami Sambasivam

The pattern of her skirt is so cheerful -- just really perfect for what this festival means.

Sujata Day

I love this so much -- the sparkles, the stripes, the dots, the accessories, and the chicness of pairing it with what I believe is a leather jacket.

Punam Patel

I appreciate everyone's jewels so much, also.

Poorna Jagannathan

She's also in "Never Have I Ever" and also "The Night Of," and she looks so insanely cool in this.

Deepica Mutyala in Live the Collective

Deepica founded the makeup company Live Tinted, which is the other sponsor here. I might wish this were a richer color? But on Instagram, lit better, it did sparkle more.

Radhika Jones

Radhika is the EIC of Vanity Fair. She did not lean as hard into intricate design, for sure.

Payal Kadakia in Falguni Shane Peacock

She founded ClassPass, and her skirt is AMAZING.

I told you everyone looked amazing!

Melanie Chandra

This is neat -- her lengha was repurposed by Manish Arora from one she wore at her pre-wedding ceremony ("mehndi"). It's incredible.
