Several famous faces joined her on the carpet for photo ops, including Cate Blanchett and Warner Bros. Television chairman Channing Dungey.
Cate wore a dazzling yellow, silver and black layered dress embellished with large glitters.
The Tar actress paired the dress with black leather pants underneath and black pointed heels.
Channing went for an all black look with a top underneath a cropped jacket and pants.
Mindy was presented with the Achievement Award by her The Office co-star and longtime friend BJ Novak.
He recalled their early days working on the “unfortunate American version of The Office” when Mindy “cared so much about every detail.”
Those details included “Beyonce versus Rihanna” and “the right tempo at which to sing ‘Happy Birthday’.” There was nothing she didn’t care about.”
As BJ delivered his monologue, the Inside Out actress joined the audience in laughing.

The Vengeance actor, who is the godfather to Mindy’s children, fondly recalled their “boundless, romantic, toxic mess” of a relationship.
He then shared, “We were in love with each other.”
In her acceptance speech, Mindy said: “Like most people, it all goes back to the parents. I’m a child of immigrants, and that unexpectedly became my secret weapon.
“I owe that to my parents, but also to luck. I won the lottery mentoring Greg Daniels and Howard Klein, producers of The Office.’
Her breakthrough in the entertainment industry came with the sitcom, which ran for nine seasons from 2005 to 2013.

Beauty: Mindy started out as an actress and writer at The Office
She recalled that despite her lack of experience at the time, Greg let her write and edit.
The beauty joked, “I wasn’t even one of her nieces or anyone who could possibly become one of her second wives.”
Mindy then thanked “pioneering icons like Norman Lear for paving the way for all kinds of people,” citing the importance of inclusivity and why her production company exists.
The Late Night actress joked that it was “so exciting” to give artists of color an opportunity “and watch them get poached by Marvel.”
