Freida Pinto picked a feminine lavender number for the Desert Dancer premiere, which was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City Tuesday night.

Freida Pinto’s Lavender Look

Pinto, 30, wore a pale purple Elie Saab dress from the brand’s Spring 2014 Couture collection. The skirt on the dress boasted volume, which was balanced out by sheer sleeves with floral lace detailing that continued through the bodice. The Slumdog Millionaire actress completed her look with the 18th-century inspired Anya Hindmarch ‘Duke’ clutch and taupe heels.

In Desert Dancer, Pinto plays a dancer named Elaheh, who battles a heroin addiction while helping Afshin Ghaffarian (Ritchie) realize his dream of starting a secret dance company in Iran, which had banned the art form.
