Long-sleeved red dress with black trim
When it comes to must have pieces in any wardrobe, it is usually the little black dress that gets all the attention, but a red dress should also top the list. Not only is this piece a pop of vibrant color, but when you keep things simple like Mindy Kaling did when donning her red dress for the Hulu Upfronts, you can really make a statement.
While we may not be able to snag this exact dress with the black trim, that doesn’t mean finding a long-sleeved red dress with a touch of flare is too difficult. And you can give your dress the touches it deserves by adding a black belt or pairing it will the perfect pair of heels. Either way, have some fun with these inspiration pieces, while still keeping things simple and elegant.
Up first, I found a lovely red sheath dress from Nordstrom that has sleeves that reminded me of what Kaling wore. The Rachel Parcell Bell Sleeve Sheath Dress is a gorgeous shade of red that features long sleeves with a bell end to them, as well as the nipped in waist that gives this look shape. At $135, this dress is still a relatively affordable option, and it is certainly work appropriate while also being perfect for going out.
Another gorgeous option comes courtesy of ASOS, which has a vibrant red dress from Free People. The French Girl Belted Dress is $74 and has the same simplicity as the one the actress wore. You can dress this piece up or down and rock it as an everyday option or for work and even a night out.
