Mindy Kalingis ringing in autumn in style. In a recent Instagram post, the actress and producer shared a series of glamorous looks ranging from sleek striped pantsuits to bold leopard prints.

But it was the dress in her first look that really caught our eye — and it wasn’t just because of the show-stopping red hue. The gorgeous dress had buttons, a preppy collar, and long sleeves, whichKelly Clarksonhas also been pulling out recently.

Shirt dresses are easily a Hollywood staple, with stars likeGwyneth Paltrow and Reese Witherspoonbreaking out the trend this summer. Kaling made it fall-ready with long sleeves and a midi length that keeps you covered. And the row of buttons that come with shirt dresses makes them a smart choice for unpredictable weather.
