Not Quite

August 3rd, 2009 at 11:54 pm . by Priyanka

A mediocre dress paired with a rather ghastly clutch wasn’t expected of Ms. Pinto… And the hair didn’t do much for her cause either.

Update: Freida is wearing a Resort 2010 Stella McCartney with Jimmy Choo sandals. Thanks Fashion Critic / Ashi.

    I think she looks really cute! But I might be biased cuz I love her! :)

  2. Indian Girl says:

    Her makeup wasn’t that great and the hair wasn’t styled.I didnt like the shoes either.

  3. preeths says:

    the dress is pretty decent. i like the knot detail on the bust. she had the potential to take it up a notch but failed.. the WOW factor is missing, aptly labelled not quite

    that clutch is soooooo tacky..

  4. spur says:

    the dress is blah! but the clutch isn’t that bad.
    I thot we liked pop of color on black, did i miss somethin?

  5. Antonia says:

    I like the dress & clutch but hate her hair & shoes.

  6. Lalitha says:

    I find her very average and think that this picture underscroes that well.

  7. reah says:

    While the dress might be simple and the clutch mediocre..I think Frieda looks quite pretty..! Quite a change from the usual ott celeb! i quite love it!

  8. lina says:

    she looks better at so called “not quite’ than most people do at their best. stunner. and i love her hair. it looks so natural and fresh

  9. Rupal says:

    for me she is looking attractive. but her beauty is all hype created by media. every 2nd girl in south asia has the same looks minus top brand accessories.

  10. Ashi says:

    Mediocre? No way! The dress and clutch are both Stella McCartney and so cute in person.

  11. Shweta says:

    Maybe its just me, but I sort of like that clutch..its kind of hard to see the detail, but its really the best thing about the entire look. Not loving the dress, but its Frieda! I’m biased..I still think if anyone else had worn it, they wouldn’t have looked half as nice!!!

  12. Sharin says:

    I like it. She did it right which is key.. sure she doesn’t look OMG amazing in it but it’s a great look. Reminds me of something that Aishwarya has worn before… If this is Frieda’s new look I’m quite liking it.. very chic.

  13. pdaervo says:

    the dress looks sort of cheap for some reason, even though I’m almost SURE that it’s not…and I can’t really see the clutch well enough to call it ghastly, so far it looks ok
    but the hair is aweful (which is had because she’s always had lovely hair)…although I’m pretty sure my hair looks like that right now too- but I’m getting ready to go to sleep so that’s ok ;)

  14. fashionfool says:

    You have a seious case of bias against Frieda…she looks cool here ….

  15. lizzy says:

    She looks lovely and elegant.

  16. Megha says:

    i really like the clutch…def something i’d carry!
    dress is ok but she looks cute (in spite of the hair)

  17. Fever says:

    I like the dress! The shoes and hair are sort of blahh but she looks cute!

  18. Fever says:

    The shoes are Jimmy Choos .. I wish she would have picked a more interesting pair but it’s okay I suppose … and the dress is a Carmen Marc Valvo..And the clutch is a moyna horse shoe slim clutch

  19. dn says:

    The outfit and everything else is so average, but she still looks so cute!!

  20. preethi says:

    i find the dress quite a standard lbd…but i like the color added by the clutch, and i think the hair and make up are not too bad…she looks nice.

  21. ramizi says:

    the clutch isnt the worst offender in this picture…it looks just fine…the shoes, hair and pageant smile are the biggest losers in this round…

  22. suri says:

    well she certainly looks better then the model

  23. cooks says:

    love the sandals…very cute.

  24. kaya says:

    I like anyone else am happy for all that’s happened to her and wish her all the best but, I do not think she has anything to reckon with in terms of acting ability or fashion sensibility.

    She clearly goes for labels because they are labels, she has a stylist at work and on top of which i’d like to add; those incidents like when she wore that t-shirt dress occurred not because she appreciates and recognizes craft in fashion and appreciates a piece rather than the label on the piece. But because in my own humble opinion she does not recognise good from bad and even then she tried to dress the shirt dress up in the most text-bookish way with a belt…?
    Honestly ppl wake up…

  25. kaya says:

    Ignore the lack of grammar (again)

    :/

  26. Sv says:

    inspite of everything supposedly failing,she looks amazing!and like someone above mentioned how she looks like any regular south asian girl…i think that’s her USP.she’s supposed to have a down to earth girl next door looks!

  27. Carol says:

    I don’t care if the dress is by Stella McCartney. It still looks average like something you would buy at Forever 21. And the accessories are just blah.

    Freida is your average pretty girl who is saved by her smile with no real style.

  28. hot says:

    she looks great

  29. Anu says:

    I love it… great understated look unlike the most of the cringe inducing loud Bombay socialites

  30. Kimmy says:

    Pshh- who’s looking at Freida anyway? All i saw was Dev! :)

  31. suchi says:

    well she looks very school girlish here with that hair. and ya the dress is quite bboring and so are the shoes. actually clutch may be the only saving grace atleast it si something interesting.

  32. AM says:

    Stella McCartney is overrated and most of her stuff is shite – witness all of Gwyneth’s fashion disasters. All in all, Freida manages to look good I would say.

  33. VirgoVixen says:

    I think she looks fab. I love Stella McCartney dresses, they are simple and understated and cute, I don’t like the clutch on it’s own but paired with that dress it works. Her hair/make up is simple but simplicity works sometimes:)

  34. Pallavi says:

    It’s rather nice actually. Simple and fresh. (And I don’t even like Frieda particularly!)

  35. riya says:

    sad haircut, really sad

  36. ap2008 says:

    I think she looks great. Very appropriate for a dinner and screening at a grand house.

  37. naka says:

    think she looks cute. If that’s what she was going for, then mission accomplished. Yeah, she needs layers in her hair, but maybe she’s sporting the simple cut for a film.

  38. Niya says:

    The clutch isn’t exactly pretty, but I do adore that dress! Simple but very nice :) And what’s wrong with the hair? Freida doesn’t seem like a girl who can pull of really long hair and I didn’t like bangs on her either.

  39. Sanjana says:

    i think the clutch by itself might not be great,but with the black dress its perfect!!..Lovve the pop of color and i think she looks gr8.She’s got a lot of praise for this look of her’s!

  40. Soni says:

    Love the shoes. Don’t care for the eye makeup. In some pictures it looks like it’s all smudged and not deliberately either.
