Mindy Kaling Gives Office Core a Playful Spin in Burgundy Gianvito Rossi Oxfords

The lace-up platforms revealed a glossy burgundy finish beneath a tonal look.

Mindy Kaling brought a playful read on office-core dressing to New York on Tuesday, stepping out in Gianvito Rossi’s Vicky Oxford pumps.

Cut in glossy napa leather, the Oxford came in Gianvito Rossi’s Nuit leather in the shade red — near black at first glance, with a burgundy sheen under sunlight. The style featured a rounded toe, lace-up front, a stacked 30 mm platform and a 100 mm block heel, giving the actress a substantial boost in height.

Kaling leaned into the autumnal hue effect, pairing the Oxfords with matching burgundy tights and a coordinating miniskirt. A tailored coat and structured handbag finished the look, keeping the palette tight while letting the glossy shoes provide the unexpected lift.

The Vicky Oxford has been gaining traction this fall, most visibly on Emily Blunt, who wore the same style last month while filming “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” Blunt’s on-set moment reintroduced the heeled Oxford’s history as a ’90s power-dressing staple, and Kaling’s turn on the streets of New York extended that revival beyond the screen.

It also comes at a moment of momentum for Gianvito Rossi, which earlier this month rolled out its “Shades of Gianvito” program — offering its signature pump in 30 new colors. With that expansion, the brand emphasized its commitment to versatility and color play, themes echoed in the glossy Oxford’s dual-tone effect.

Kaling’s shoe choices often hinge on high-shine detail. At May’s Gold Gala, she opted for metallic silver sandals with a beaded gown — a flashier counterpart to this Oxford’s subtle gloss.
