Mindy Kaling, see you. And we especially see your sheer lace shirt!
To show some birthday love to fellow Never Have I Ever co-creator Lang Fisher, Kaling shared a photo of the two earlier this week. Smiling, she posed in a partially see-through Jonathan Simkhai black shirt — which looked like it was a more everyday take on the sheer fits A-listers have been lashing out at lately.
The sheer sleeves ended halfway between her shoulder and elbow and were covered in beautiful lace accents. The rest of the shirt, including the bustier-like paneling and peplum flared waist, was also adorned with the intricate-looking fabric. It showed Kaling’s arms, neck and chest. To keep the look monochromatic, she chose matching trousers and accessorised them with a sparkling ring and some earrings.
Olivia Wilde and Kendall Jenner are two other celebrities who have recently sported it all in sheer dresses. The former wore a lace dress to the 2022 People’s Choice Awards in December, and the latter wore a sheer black midi dress to her friend’s birthday party just a few weeks ago. Other starlets like Rita Ora and Emily Ratajkowski have also shown some skin in “naked clothes.”
Black sheer tops inspired by Mindy Kaling
The cool thing about Kaling’s version, however, is that while it’s still sexy and on trend, it’s also super wearable. You can wear the lace top with pants à la Mindy, but you can also layer on a pair of jeans or colorful cargo pants for a sultry girls’ evening outfit. And if you style it right, you might be able to wear it with your co-workers too.
Mindy’s exact shirt retails for a whopping $445, but you can get a very similar one for less than half the price. While this Amazon mandarin collar shirt costs $26, one shopper said the material “looks like exquisite Chantilly lace,” adding that it was “absolutely beautiful.”

If you liked the lace at Mindy’s but want a little less of it, there’s also this black peplum shirt that comes in sizes XS to XL. The high neckline is still sheer, but the sleeves are made of sturdy fabric, so your shoulders are covered. While some sizes have already sold out, it’s also available in similar designs in burgundy, lilac, white and coral.
Don’t be put off by showing skin. Mindy just found a stylish way to wear this trend on a daily basis and now it’s time for you to see through the pure trend.
