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 Naeem Khan Resort 23 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.

Freida Pinto looked incredible as she attended the NYC premiere of her movie Mr. Malcolm's List.

The actress stood out on the red-carpet in a gown from the Naeem Khan resort 2023 collection, featuring stylish pleats and quirky cape-effect cascading arm ties.

The halterneck style is super flattering but it's that cool canary shade that really gives it the wow-factor. If you've got a special occasion like a wedding coming up this summer and are in need of some inspiration, then why not make it all yellow like Freida?

We've lined up four fab yellow finds in the carousel that are ideal for giving a nod to Freida's look.

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.

Who knew they were friends? Pinto was joined at the screening by Huma Abedin, who's best known as the vice chair of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and the ex-wife of disgraced New York Congressman Anthony Weiner

'So Selena has her own little hill to climb: She comes to the city looking to reconnect with her friend and also maybe find love along the way. But she least expects to find it with someone like Mr. Malcolm, which is a fun little twist in the tale.'
