Kaling’s attire for the evening featured the calla lily-inspired strapless bodice and coordinated miniskirt. The ensemble took both structural and motif influence from the delicate botanical, featuring a calla lily appliqué on the bodice of the ensemble. The white bodice featured a sinuous design, with shimmering silver lines and a peplum element evocative of flower petals. The skirt of Kaling’s ensemble featured a soft pink tone, which complemented the floral appliqué on the bodice, and a mini hemline.
Kaling added a pair of peep-toe heels to her attire. The “Running Point” creator accessorized her attire with morganite deco earrings and Galle lights courtesy of B.P. de Silva. Kaling’s hair was styled in the trendy side-part by Becca Mader, with makeup featuring bold brows, lined eyes and a glossy lip by Alyssa Johnson.

Khoon Hooi was founded in 1999 by Malaysian designer Lee Khoon Hooi. The label features luxury occasionwear with collection for fall and spring seasons and capsule for Lunar New Year. Lana Condor, Chelsea Handler and Sofia Carson are among the high-profile figures who’ve styled pieces from the designer.
Kaling is no stranger to styling floral motifs. At the 2025 Gold Gala in May, the actress, writer and producer wore a strapless, pastel-tone gown with a floral motif by Indian designer Anita Dongre.

Kaling wasn’t the only attendee at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards to style shades of soft pink. Lisa Rinna attended the event in a satin corset dress with a strawberry volume silhouette with a Mao collar.
Construction details for Rinna’s soft pink look included an integrated corset designed with tonal topstitching to cinch the waist, and a center-front zip opening with a gold-tone metal mouth signature zip puller.
