Keeping her accessorises to a minimum, she teamed the sexy number with a classy set of Chanel patent heels, a Jimmy Choo clutch and encrusted drop-down earrings.

She tweeted: ‘Came back from #TheMindyProject premiere party to pack for my press tour, very tipsy! 3 days until this can be yours!’

Meanwhile, the American star is currently co-authoring a book of essays with her former Office co-star and partner B.J. Novak.

Despite their dating history, the two have famously remained good friends.

'I don’t know if I would have written this book with him five years ago,' she told Yahoo Style of working with B.J. 'But no, it’s not weird at all. We fight all the time.'

'I’m hoping that the creative process will be lively but good,’ the TV star added.

In her new book, which debuts on Tuesday, Mindy chronicles her rise to fame, detailing all manner of awkward and embarrassing experiences she suffered during the first few years of her career.
