Not cool! Before becoming a red carpet guru, Mindy Kaling had a fashion faux pas while attending the 40-Year-Old Virgin premiere — but it wasn’t her fault.In Judd Apatow’s new book, Sicker in the Head: More Conversations About Life and Comedy, the Mindy Project creator, 42, recalled being tricked into wearing jeans to the Los Angeles event in 2005 by a former Office coworker.“I didn’t know you’re supposed to hire a stylist for the movie premiere,” Kaling told Apatow, 54, in the book, which is a collection of interviews by the filmmaker. “I had a frenemy at The Office, and I asked this person, ‘Hey, what do you wear to a premiere?’ And they said to me, ‘Oh, just wear jeans and a T-shirt.
It’s L.A. so nobody really gets dressed up for these things.’”The Why Not Me? author remembered thinking, “OK, cool,” and chose to follow the person’s advice.
The 40-Year-Old Virgin, which Apatow directed, was Kaling’s first major film role. She played Amy, the ex-girlfriend of Paul Rudd’s character, David.“I didn’t want to seem thirsty wearing a gown while everyone was dressed down.
So, I showed up in a tank top and jeans with some earrings, and everyone there looked so good,” the Sex Lives of College Girls creator explained. “They had been styled to perfection — and I was like, ‘I’ve been f—king duped by this frenemy of mine.’ That … felt like a missed opportunity, and then after that, I became really into fashion.”Kaling didn’t reveal the identity of her former work “frenemy,” instead she told Apatow why she can’t watch herself in the 2005 comedy that starred her Office costar Steve Carell.“It feels like I had this great opportunity and I blew it, because I didn’t know what it was like to be on camera.
