Freida Pinto doesn't fear fashion police
Actress Freida Pinto, currently basking in the limelight at the ongoing 65th Cannes International Film Festival, says she feels no pressure to live up to her style icon reputation.
"I really don't worry about things like being on the red carpet. To me it's a treat. It's kind of fun when you're the best dressed and I don't care when I'm seen as the worst dressed," showbizspy.com quoted Pinto as saying.
"Ultimately for me, I just have to be happy with what I'm wearing. That's all the matters. I just go, I love this dress and I'm going to wear it no matter what people say. I think that's the only way to be," added the 27-year-old, who has so far impressed fashion critics at the movie extravaganza.
