While she has revolutionized the portrayal of Indian women in foreign films, her presence in Indian cinema remains comparatively limited. Beyond acting, Freida is a staunch advocate for humanitarian causes and women’s empowerment.

Freida Pinto’s fashion journey has been filled with memorable red carpet moments, often featuring bold heels that enhance her height and style. However, not every outfit hits the mark, as seen during her October 2016 Cannes appearance, where her choice of dress sparked mixed reviews.

Freida Pinto’s style is typically hit or miss. While it’s usually pretty hard to go wrong with a little black dress, it appears that the LBD did go wrong for the “Slumdog Millionaire” actress in Cannes.

Her shoes were not an ideal match for her dress. What do you think of her attire? The “Adina” pumps are no longer available online.
