Freida Pinto is gracing the October cover of Flare magazine, and boy is she a natural beauty! The Rise of the Planet of the Apes star dazzles in a red dress by Giambattista Valli with matching red lips. I love red on red and Freida does it perfectly!

The actress opened up to the magazine about how her life has changed since becoming a celebrity (hello, perks!).

“I have access to certain things that I wouldn’t ever have before. I used to go down to the flea markets and put these things together and take them to my tailor to be fixed up. And now there are other people who do that for me!”

Other than her fabulous reputation, amazing looks and fairy tale romance with Slumdog Millionaire co-star Dev Patel, I am such a lover of Freida’s style on the red carpet. She totally kills it with either the perfect color or fit, always glowing and showing off her slander physique.

Did you see her at The Rise of the Planet of Apes premiere in Los Angeles? She looked absolutely stunning in a bright green gown. Simple, yet flawless!

“I look at it as fun. I think it’s terrifying if you’re trying to do something you’re not comfortable with, or trying to channel something you’re not. But if you’re just being true to the kind of clothes you wear, it’s fun.”

The 26-year-old is also starring in the Greek action flick, Immortals out November 11, 2011 in US theaters.
