Freida Pinto was the only other star who changed into a second look for the Cannes Film Festival opening night dinner on Wednesday evening following the ceremony.
The beautiful Indian actress wore a striking black sequin Versace gown with a thigh-high split, a sheer neckline and long sleeves.
I am getting a very big ‘Black Swan’ vibe from this gown, which Freida pulls off well.
The only downside to this look is the black pumps, which feel a bit too heavy for the look.
I do however lover the pop of pink via her lip colour.
Between Freida, Eva Longoria, Nicole Scherzinger, Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart, we’ve seen a number of interesting detailed black gowns on the red carpet this week.

Who Was Your Best Dressed This Week?
















She looks flawless! I’ve been looking for a bubblegum pink lipstick like that for months but no luck, so jealous.
at her interviews she mentioned she was wearing l’oreal’s new line called caress magenta
Ooo thank you! I’ll look for that next time I’m near a Loréal stand
Yes this is nice – but from the black gowns you mentioned I think Charlize’s the chicest
She seems to have lost both weight and her old stylist because the woman is just stunning in her late appearances. Hope she keeps that way!
She’s on a roll…love this.
I would have loved the gown on Freida if she got rid of those horrid mesh sleeves. If it was a sleeveless plunging black sparkly gown it would’ve been amazing. Hate the shoes also. But other than the mesh and the shoes, she looks great.
Ugh…don’t love the gown. It’s too Morticia and I am tired of slits.
Heavenly. I like the neck details.
Slinky and sexy! And I agree, that lip color is great.
I think she is jaw droopingly gorgeous. Love everything accept the shoes. Agree FC, they look too heavy.
Great black dress! I don’t mind the shoes terribly – it’s a good look overall. I’ve liked all the detailed sheer black gowns presented so far!
Beautiful in Black! Love that pink lip shade!
This is a gorgeous look but I prefer her opening ceremony look to this one.
another great look,wld chg shoes to some strapy sandals black&silver wld be nice
Regal as always.
Now this I like. She looks beautiful.
I don’t like this.
Of all the sparkly black dresses, I think this may be my favorite. Frieda looks better than I’ve seen her in a long time. Along with most of you, I’m no fan of the shoes, but I’m all alone out here disliking the lip color. It’s just too teeny-bopper for me.
