Freida Pinto steals the show in asymmetrical red dress and gold stilettos at Indian Film Festival gala

She might be one of the more subtle and elegant Hollywood stars, but that doesn't mean that she can't make an impact.
Freida Pinto stole the show at the opening of the Indian Film Festival in Los Angeles on Tuesday in an attention-grabbing red dress and gold stilettos.
The 28-year-old wore her dark hair sleek and straight as she posed on the red carpet ahead of the premiere of Gangs of Wasseypur.

The Indian actress, who shot to fame in Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, made sure that she put in an appearance to support her country's filmmaking talent.

 

And the star certainly didn't blend into the crowd at the high-profile event, ensuring that all eyes were on her in the elegant asymmetrical dress, which had a ruffled panel across the front.
Continuing her red theme, she painted her toenails in the same dramatic hue, offsetting the metallic gold of her towering shoes.

The Trishna star kept her dark hair sleek and straight, showing of a newly cut side fringe which she parted in the middle.
Freida, who has been dating her Slumdog co-star Dev Patel for more than four years, seemed to be flying solo for the event, but looked as relaxed as ever.
