“My daughter, who is very traditionalist, was like, ‘How come you’re not wearing a gown?’” she said. “She saw I was wearing pants and she thought in her mind it was less fancy. I was like, ‘Are you kidding me right now? This is the most fancy I’ve looked in months.’ And she’s like, ‘Pants.’ Phoned it in. She’s hard to please.”

Also in attendance at the party were Mindy‘s The Office co-star Angela Kinsey and the cast of her Netflix series Never Have I Ever, including Darren Barnet, Poorna Jagannathan, Richa Moorjani, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Janina Gavankar.
