Mindy Kaling Embraces Floral Artistry in Khoon Hooi Look at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards
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.

Happy Leo Season! Dress Like Your Favorite Zodiac Feline, Inspired by Our Street Stylers
We've made it to Leo season, and for the rest of summer, we'll be celebrating the loudest and boldest of the zodiac signs. Is it any surprise their symbol is a lion? It's fitting then that one of Kylie Jenner's most memorable fashion moments was during the spring 2023 couture season, when she attended the Schiaparelli show wearing one of Daniel Roseberry's gowns embellished with a realistic lion's head before it even hit the runways. (Kylie has our vote for the most Leo of all celebrities.) But for the rest of our fellow Leos who love the spotlight but maybe not that much, we've rounded up some inspiration from other felines. Below, the best Leo-inspired looks in street style. Milan, spring 2025 ready-to-wear Photographed by Phil Oh

Will Hulk Hogan still get a posthumous biopic starring Chris Hemsworth?
Hulk Hogan never got the biopic treatment while he was alive. The WWE legend, who died Thursday at age 71, was supposed to be played by Chris Hemsworth in a Netflix movie, but the project was scrapped entirely by the time Hogan passed away. TMZ reported that the pro-wrestler died after 'a cardiac arrest' call was placed from his home in Clearwater, Florida. 11 Hulk Hogan at the Comedy Central Roast Of David Hasselhoff in 2010. Getty Images The biopic about Hogan was first announced by Netflix in February 2019, with Hemsworth, 41, to star and Todd Phillips set to direct. The Hollywood Reporter reported at the time that John Pollono and Scott Silver were writing the script. Silver, 60, and Phillips, 54, co-wrote Joaquin Phoenix's 'Joker,' which came out that same year. 11 Chris Hemsworth at the 'Limitless: Live Better Now' UK premiere in London on July 17.

Getty Images for BAFTA LA The biopic, per Deadline, was going to 'center on the rise of Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, and his 'Hulkamania' both in wrestling and as a pop culture icon.' The outlet also confirmed that Hogan's life rights were acquired in the deal and that he joined the project as a consultant and executive producer. However, years went by, and no progress was made on the film, due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic causing production delays in Hollywood in 2020. 11 Hulk Hogan on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' in 1994.

I don't know what is happening with it at this point,' the 'Thor' star stated. 'But there is a good story there I would love to tell.' 'I know Todd Phillips has been deep with The Joker and we have had conversations,' Hemsworth added. 'Fingers crossed.' 11 Chris Hemsworth in 'Thor: Love and Thunder.' ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection A year later, Phillips officially confirmed that the biopic was dead. 'I love what we were trying to do, but that's not going to come together for me,' the director told Variety in August 2024 while promoting 'Joker 2.' During an appearance on the 'PDB Podcast' in October 2024, Hogan explained why his biopic never came to fruition. 11 Hulk Hogan at the premiere of 'War Of The Worlds' in June 2005.

There was a payment that wasn't placed at the right time,' he claimed nine months before his death, adding that the film's script 'was amazing.' 'Scott Silver, who wrote the script for 'Joker,' 'Wolf of Wall Street,' a bunch of other movies, said, 'This is the best thing I've ever written,'' Hogan recalled. 'When I read it, I went, 'Oh my god, this is really good.'' The '3 Ninjas' star continued: 'At the time, I was in a space where I told him the positive stuff about wrestling and the negative stuff about wrestling. Spent about three years with this writer going back and forth. When I read it, it was just very, very dark, if that would be the right word. But it was probably what the public may want to see. When I read it I was like, 'Oh my gosh, if this thing comes out…'' 11 Hulk Hogan speaks onstage during the 2024 Republican National Convention.

But Hogan explained that he was worried the biopic would ultimately be 'the last thing people remember me for.' 'So I just was moving forward at the time, and when they business-wise missed a date, there was an option for me to pull out — and I did,' he revealed. 11 Hulk Hogan in the wrestling ring during his Hulkamania Tour in 2009. Getty Images The sports icon said at the time that he would still do the film with the same script, but acknowledged there's other avenues to share his life story. 'There's also documentary, a check and balance system, there's also a four-hour block of TV like the OJ [Simpson] stuff to tell the real story,' Hogan noted. 'The check and balance system, what it did do was it took me right up to the time I turned bad guy. Until I turned into 'Hollywood Hogan.' So if this movie did blow through the roof that they expected it would, then there would be another one which would be really cool.' 11 Hulk Hogan at Maple Leaf Gardens in Canada. Toronto Star via Getty Images Hogan also made it clear he wanted 'creative control' over his biopic and that the film needed to 'be a balance.' When the host asked Hogan if someone could make a film about him without his permission, the WWE legend replied, 'They can do it, but they could be in a really bad position legally if they don't have me involved.' 'There's so many hills and valleys when you do something without someone's permission,' he added. The Post reached out to Netflix and Hemsworth for comment.
