Kaling, a fan of Christian Louboutin shoes, modeled a gold pointed-toe pump from the label to create a monochrome metallic moment. The sky-high heels complemented a gold dress with allover embellishment and a fitted silhouette. This Louboutin moment followed Kaling wearing the clear, crystal-embellished Degraqueen pump style from the French luxury brand for an appearance on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday to promote the show.
