Dressed in a tight-fitting Dries Van Noten blouse and voluminous skirt, Mindy Kaling shows off her curves with nothing but confidence in Vogue's new Shape issue.

Rather than shying away from showing off her size ten body, the 34-year-old creator and star of The Mindy Project, opens up about how important clothes are in framing her silhouette to knockout effect.

'I feel the same way about clothes as I do about food - I want everything,' she told the magazine.

Dressed in a tight-fitting Dries Van Noten blouse and voluminous skirt, Mindy Kaling shows off her curves with nothing but confidence in Vogue's new Shape issue

For red carpet appearances, Ms Kaling, who has earned six Emmy nominations as a writer and producer for The Office, goes to figure flattering designers like Roland Mouret and Antonio Berardi.

'When I’m at my thinnest, I tend to wear things that don’t show off my body. But when I’m bigger, I’ll go body-con, which comes from a place of "This is my perimeter, in case you were wondering if I was actually much bigger",' she joked, adding that she tries not to play it safe with her sartorial choices.

For red carpet appearances, Ms Kaling, who has earned six Emmy nominations, favors figure flattering designers like Roland Mouret and Antonio Berardi as well as her show's costume designer Salvador Perez

'It’s really tempting not to take chances. But I don’t want to be fearful. I don’t want my tombstone to say, she hid her imperfections well on the red carpet.'

She does concede, however, that when something voluminous appeals to her, she always gets a second opinion from friends.

'It takes supreme confidence to put [something big] on and not belt it,' she said.

Confidence is something Ms Kaling's on-screen doppelgänger, Dr. Mindy Lahiri, also has in droves.

The clothes-obsessed ob-gyn often makes fun of the fact that she's not a lithe blonde with quips like: 'I don’t want coffee cake—I’m still full from that chia seed I had last night.'

Ms Kaling admitted there is a 'whole list' of things she might change about herself, but added that she never needs to be skinny.

'I don’t want to be skinny. I’m constantly in a state of self-improvement, but I don’t beat myself up over it.'

After writing a best-selling memoir titled Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Ms Kaling is currently working on a sequel while getting ready for her show's return to Fox on Tuesday.

Talking to Savannah Guthrie to the Today show this morning, Ms Kaling revealed: 'We pick up right where we left off last season, with the kiss.'

With a string of leading men as guest stars, all whom play a romantic interest of Dr Lahiri's, Ms Kaling said being able to kiss them all 'is a perk of the job'.

'My character has kissed more men in a season than I have met in my entire life,' she laughed.

Ms Kaling also admitted she has 'a big crush on Ben Affleck', but when she finally meet him a few months ago at an event, she revealed she failed to ask him to be a guest on the show -- because she was 'too starstruck.'
