Style Star for July: Freida Pinto

Freida Pinto is always amazing on the big screen and has a standout sense of fashion to match. Whether it is taking risks on the red carpet or making the airport her runway, she always stands apart from the crowd.  Freida is never afraid to be bold and for this reason, we raise a glass to her as our Style Star for July. 

At the Cannes Opening Dinner in Versace
Freida Pinto looked stunning at the Opening Dinner during the 75th Annual Cannes Film Festival on May 16, 2012. The Versace beaded gown left just enough to the imagination with sequins in all the right places and high slit. Her messy hair and pink lips add a playful touch to her sexy vixen look

At a FLAUNT Party in Contrarian New York
Freida Pinto took a twist on the classic style and made it fun and flirty in this Contrarian top and skirt at the Flaunt Magazine Denim Issue party. The color combo of the outfit screams bold yet sweet with the neutral black and white colors, and then, a pop of red. Not only do the colors do Pinto justice, but this eye-catching white satin bow “ties” the look together and frames her face and shoulders beautifully.

At the Airport in a Leather Jacket

I would have given anything to show up at the airport this morning looking like Freida.  The most important reason: she looks like someone you should know.  Those boots: super fashionable yet still easy to navigate airport security while wearing something that has socks (no one wants their feet on those floors!).  The purse is to die for while still seeming like the perfect travel accessory and the casual nature of the top says I’m not trying to impress you.  The jacket keeps you warm on the plane and the sunglasses protect you from the sun: an important facet for long flights as an international jet-setter.  Instead, I woke up at 4:00 AM for a 6:00 AM flight – unpacked, not showered, wearing a ponytail and dare I admit…a sports bra.  So, some girls can dream, but Freida lives it.

At a Cannes Photo call in Salvatore Faragamo
We rarely see Freida showing much skin, so this crop top and skirt combo is a bit out-of-the-norm for her, but in true Freida fashion, she manages to keep the look demure and chic.  Unexpected, yet perfectly suited to photos against the cool blue of the water in the South of France.  Absolument parfait.

At the Cannes Film Festival in Atelier Versace
This is a show-stopper. What I love about Freida’s look is she makes a statement but looks completely in her element. This neon dress is gorgeous, but the extremity in its detail calls for a simplicity that Freida has perfected. Her minimal accessories and nude pumps direct all the attention to the beautiful lace top & Swarovski crytallized skirt. But let’s not forget that flirtatious slit down her leg or arched detail on her hip (an interesting twist on the whole peplum trend). Poised and bold, you did it again, Freida!

At the NY Screening of Trishna in Rachel Roy

Freida Pinto looked absolutely angelic in a beaded Rachel Roy dress at a screening of her film ‘Trishna’. Paired with her simply elegant jewelry and timeless makeup, Freida is the picture of class and grace. But, she would not be our style star if she did not take a few risks, and that is where the shoes come in. By adding an element of edge, Freida has kicked her outfit up a notch and taken it from cute to stunning.

At the Nice Airport
I love Freida’s chic airport outfit consisting of a military trench, dark skinny jeans and ankle boots. This laid back outfit makes her look put together without overdoing her look in such a casual setting. Her jacket is my favorite part with its simple structure yet cute detailing around the cuffs. Freida definitely arrived to Cannes in style.
