“I’m blonde now guys, deal with it. @clarisshair & @kateydenno getting me ready for my new life as a R&B singer.” That is how Mindy Kaling introduced her new, possibly extensions-aided, significantly lighter locks on Instagram.

Kaling has used the red carpet as an excuse to try out one-night-only hair changes before — remember these bangs? And the placement of the blonde pieces makes us think it’s possible that she’s just having a little extra fun with her look at the Fox All-Stars party in Pasadena, California. But she’s pretty fearless when it comes to style and beauty, so we can also see her telling her glam squad to give her a new look on a whim.
