Slumdog Millionaire alum Freida Pinto was as welcome as the sunshine in her dramatic dress at the Manhattan premiere of Mr. Malcolm’s List, which was held at the DGA Theater on Wednesday.

The 37-year-old SAG Award winner looked pretty in a yellow pleated halter gown, featuring cascading tie-on sleeves, which was selected by stylist Erin Walsh.

Hairstylist Joseph Chase coiffed Freida’s sleek partial updo for the red carpet festivities.

Make-up artist Daniel Martin brought out Pinto’s brows and applied dark brown eye shadow to her lids while keeping her lip nude.

The South Asian sensation portrays scheming country girl Selina Dalton – who courts the wealthy Mr. Jeremiah Malcolm (Sope Dirisu) – in the colorblind-casted Regency romance, which hits US theaters this Friday.

‘Selina is part of Julia [Thistlewaite’s revenge] ploy but is unaware of what she’s walking into,’ Freida defended to the Boston Herald on Wednesday.

‘Only Mr. Malcolm is so charming and so real that she sees through all of the facade that he puts on in society, and really starts falling in love with him. This is obviously going to be a problem for Julia because she didn’t mean for Selena to really fall in love with Mr. Malcolm.
