Mindy Lahiri is pregnant and totally showing, and "The Mindy Project" star Mindy Kaling is showing off the progression of her character's pregnancy on social media.

The orange-clad show runner teased the flashy and fabulous protagonist's upcoming ensemble -- and growing midsection -- on Instagram in a few posts about the upcoming season, which jumped platforms from Fox to streaming service Hulu in May.

"What is the opposite of 'barefoot and pregnant'? That is what my costume designer @salvadorperezcostumes has custom made for Mindy Lahiri. And while Jane Birkin may be mad at Hermes, Mindy Lahiri is not. #themindyproject #notcrocodile," she wrote, toting the iconic Hermes handbag on a subway car set in the photo. Not maternity wear for this fashionista, that's for sure.

Perez was nominated for an Emmy Award earlier this month for his work on the series' colorful costumes.

"This is called a marking rehearsal, by the way," the actress explained in another post. "Where we stand in place and our hard working camera crew do a test run of the shot. Notice they made my tape mark match my @salvadorperezcostumes outfit! What a bunch of pros."

The color-coordinated "Office" alum and "Inside Out" star also teased that her character would be sporting a pink kaftan in a forthcoming episode.

Kaling and crew had their first table read two weeks ago, and the actress shared the title of Season 4's debut episode: "While I Was Sleeping." Hulu has ordered 26 episodes that are expected to start streaming in September.

In the Season 3 finale, Kaling's character is in the throes of disappointment when her colleague-turned-boyfriend-turned-baby-daddy Danny Castellano (Chris Messina) flakes on having dinner with her parents while they're in town. In the closing scene, it's revealed that Danny secretly traveled all the way India to meet them -- giving a whole new meaning to the term pregnant pause.

Mindy's parents will be played by "House of Cards" star Sakina Jaffrey and "Royal Pains" actor Ajay Mehta, Kaling confirmed on Tuesday.

In October, the actress revealed at the New Yorker Festival that she had conceived Mindy's parents' back story.

"My dad was very studious and kind of round, and he's a pharmacist," she said. "And my mother was a very theatrical woman who in India wanted to be an actress but it didn't work out … she would always play like a gypsy woman in Boston regional shows…. She took her acting career very seriously. So that's where that side of Mindy's personality came from. That seems very funny to me, that that was her mom."

More details about the upcoming season are likely to be revealed during the show's TCA Press Tour panel on Aug. 9.
