Mindy Kaling Channels Timothée Chalamet's Knicks Fandom for Epic Halloween Costume
1 Nov
Summary
- Mindy Kaling drew inspiration from Timothée Chalamet's Knicks superfan look
- Recreated Chalamet's all-orange outfit from 2025 Eastern Conference Finals
- Posed solo, unlike Chalamet who had girlfriend Kylie Jenner by his side
In the lead-up to Halloween 2025, former The Office star Mindy Kaling found inspiration for her costume in the unlikely form of Timothée Chalamet, the acclaimed Dune actor. While Chalamet did not wrangle any sandworms or channel his inner Bob Dylan, he did become a mainstay at the New York Knicks' games during their Cinderella-esque playoff run earlier this year.
Alongside fellow superfans Ben Stiller and Spike Lee, Chalamet was a fixture at the Knicks' games, cheering on the team's improbable journey. Kaling, taking note of Chalamet's dedicated fandom, decided to recreate his look from the pivotal Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. She donned an all-orange outfit, complete with a gold chain and a burgeoning mustache, mirroring Chalamet's courtside style.
