• Mindy Kaling shared a photo wearing a black dress with a sheer corset and fishnet skirt.
• In an Instagram post about the outfit, she joked she'd stop posting "thirst traps."

Mindy Kaling has been having fun with more daring fashion lately.

On Tuesday, the actress shared a photo of herself wearing a black midi dress designed by Dion Lee. The $1,310 garment had a corset bodice made with sheer lace, and a knee-length skirt covered with a fishnet lining.

Kaling, who was styled by Hayley Atkin, paired the outfit with Jimmy Choo heels, a silver clutch, and an oversized ring.

"I promise this is my last thirst trap pic from this weekend!" the actress wrote. "Now we can go back to videos of me cooking meatloaf or whatever."

Other celebrities seemed to be fans of Kaling's post, which has over 297,000 likes at the time of writing.

Her former "Office" costar Angela Kinsey wrote, "Mindy!!! Damn!!! " while Reese Witherspoon added: "Keep all the pics going!"

A few days earlier on Sunday, Kaling won over her fans on Instagram again with her Vanity Fair Oscar Party look: a Dolce & Gabbana gown with an asymmetrical, bedazzled bodice, and a yellow skirt with a thigh-high slit.

The dress also had another piece of the yellow fabric attached to its single strap, creating a cape-like effect.

These two looks — as well as others she wore this month — show a recent shift in Kaling's fashion, which she frequently documents on Instagram with her 6.2 million followers. In the past, her style has leaned towards casual and elegant looks. Now, Kaling appears to be making a move towards edgier styles, adding garments with sheer details and deep necklines to her wardrobe.

On Saturday, she sported a two-piece Moschino set that included a straight skirt and a cropped jacket worn with no shirt underneath. Instead, it was held together with a small clasp underneath its neckline. Kaling completed the look with a tiny handbag and pointed pumps.

She also wore a sultry gown on Friday. The $1,700 Magda Butrym design was sleeveless with a plunging neckline and rose-shaped accessory above the chest.

To give the look even more oomph, Kaling wore her hair in a loose style that looked as if she had just stepped out of water.
