Mindy Kaling recreates THAT Jared Leto look from 2019 Met Gala

Mindy Kaling recreated Jared Leto’s showstopping look from the 2019 Met Gala on her Instagram page this Friday.

At last year’s event Jared arrived in scarlet Alessandro Michele gown festooned with jewels and carried a large dummy of his own disembodied head.

The Mindy Project star set about ‘Recreating one of my favorite Met Gala looks ever with the help of a tarp, some Christmas lights and packing tape.’

In addition to these materials she also used makeup to draw Jared’s beard onto her face – though unlike him she also wore deep scarlet lipstick.

‘I think Alessandro Michele would approve. Your turn, post your look with #MetGalaChallenge by 5/3 and @voguemagazine will choose select looks to feature on social,’ Mindy wrote in her Instagram caption.

The Met Gala occurs annually on the first Monday in May but has been delayed indefinitely this year on account of the coronavirus pandemic.

As a result Vogue, whose editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is also in charge of the Met Gala, got together with Pose star Billy Porter to launch the #MetGalaChallenge.

The hashtag encourages fans of the event to try and copy some of their favorite Met Gala looks at home and post the results to social media.

Last year’s Met Gala theme was Camp: Notes On Fashion, a take-off of the 1964 Susan Sontag essay Notes On “Camp.”

Mindy herself was an attendee of the 2019 Met Gala, hitting the pink carpet in a dazzling sequined gold gown by Moschino.

Accessorizing with earrings meant to look like mini chandeliers, she garnished the look with an extravagant platinum blonde wig.

Mindy, who has been to multiple past Met Galas, starred in the 2018 comedy Ocean’s 8 in which a crew of women including her character Amita plan a heist at the bash.
