Freida Pinto to wear their outfit for the Oscar night

Many designers have been vying to get Freida Pinto to wear their outfit for the Oscar night on February 22.

Besides awarding the talents of the year, Oscar night is also about dressing up in one’s best togs. All preened and dolled up, celebrities walk the red carpet, flaunt their fashion statements and pose for photographs that find place in international magazines and tabloids.

This year, strobe lights will be aimed at the stars of Slumdog Millionaire , which has 10 Oscar nominations. Freida Pinto, Dev Patel , Anil Kapoor and A R Rahman will be part of the ‘Slumdog’ team to attend the gala event. And preparations are already underway on their part to be decked in best outfits.

Author and columnist Shobhaa De is quoted as saying on her blog that Jemima Khan, ex wife of cricketer Imran Khan, has expressed her interest in dressing Freida up for the big night.

Freida has become a head-turner at award functions with her top-of-the-line dresses from Christian Lacroix haute couture, Oscar de la Renta, Zac Posen, Moschino and Marchesa. And her stylist George Kotsiopoulos has said that she is on the wishlist of many designers and brands.

It’s still not clear if Freida has indeed teamed up with Jemima for her Oscar dress.

A R Rahman , who has three nominations and is expected to win at least one Oscar, will don a black bandhgala (an Indian dress buttoned up to neck) designed by Rohit Bal .

Anil Kapoor apparently is uncomfortable with bandhgalas and is expected to wear a suit, most likely an Armani.

Dev Patel, too, will slip into a black suit for the night. But it’s not confirmed which brand he will opt for.
