Frieda Pinto wows in glamorous gold at Dubai film festival

Dubai: They are huge Hollywood stars and at the Dubai film festival Frieda Pinto and Cate Blanchett were shining bright.

The pair stepped out in metallic gowns as they attended a screening of the Life of Pi.

Frieda, 28, oozed glamour in a flowing golden gown that boasted a jewel-encrusted snake embellishment around the neck.

The Slumdog Millionaire star's gown complemented her skin tone to perfection and she teamed the dress with a pair of gold strappy sandals and a hard clutch.

While Frieda had opted for a warm metallic shade, Cate shone in a cold pale silver hue.

The 43-year-old star floated up the carpet in the glamorous gown that incorporated layers of chiffon and a bronze panel around the middle.

She teamed the gown with a pair of black peep toe heels.

The pair made equally stylish entrances at the Madinat Jumeriah Complex, where the screening was being held.

Marking the first film from the director since 2009's Taking Woodstock, Lee's adaption of Yann Martel's novel Life Of Pi has already received much critical praise.

Following the epic journey of  Pi Patel - a young man who survives a disaster at sea - who forms an unlikely bond with the only other survivor... a terrifying Bengal tiger.

The title role is filled by newcomer Suraj Sharma in his feature film debut.
