She's a big fan of Chanel after praising them for taking a chance on her when she was an unknown actress.

So it was no surprise to see Freida Pinto come out in support of the French fashion house, especially for a collection close to her heart.

The actress looked sensational in a shiny blue chiffon dress, by Chanel of course, which she teamed with Roger Vivier peep-toed shoe boots.

Ooh la la! Freida Pinto is a vision in blue chiffon as she attends the Paris-Bombay Chanel fashion show in the French capital last night

The 27-year-old Slumdog Millionaire star, was attending the Paris-Bombay show which was held at the Grand Palais in Paris last night.

The Métiers D'Arts show showed off Chanel's autumn designs, an infusion of Bombay and Paris inspired clothes with a mix of fabrics, rich brocades and saris with the house's signature tweed jackets, black classic looks and pearls.

Freida was joined by fellow Indian actress Sonam Kapoor, 26, and singer-songwriter Cat Power, 39.

Feeling a bit chilly? Freida arrived in a warm black coat but she soon shed it as she posed for the cameras before the show

Freida, who lives in Los Angeles, was born in Bombay, now known as Mumbai, so wouldn't have missed the chance to see her hometown meet the Paris catwalk.

And she always supports the fashion label because they 'believed' in her when she was trying to make a name for herself in the film industry.

This summer, she gushed about Chanel and said they were the only company to lend her clothes for red carpet events when she first started out.

Having fun, Freida? The actress kept catching the attention of the cameras wherever she went in the show

She said: 'I tell you why I like Chanel so much; when I started off, no one wanted to give me clothes to wear. Absolutely no one. All the labels said, "Who is she?"

'Chanel believed in me from the very beginning. For the very first red carpet I did at the Toronto Film Festival in 2008, they dressed me up in their very current season collection.

'It's a massive brand, why would they invest in someone who is nobody.'

Freida, who starred in this summer's blockbuster The Rise of the Planet of the Apes, has also made friends with Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, who was at the show.

She said of the German designer: 'I always have a good time with Karl because he's so appreciative and wants me to try different things.

In the film she plays a priestess from Greek mythology.
And that appears to be exactly what Freida Pinto was channeling when she attended the premiere for Immortals last night.
The stunning actress, 27, shone on the red carpet in a cream Antonio Berardi dress.

The dress sported tunic-style shoulder pads and embroided detailing at the front.

The warrior-goddess look was complete with a metallic panel at the front which covered her flat stomach.


The number had a slight fishtail skirt with a large train trailing behind her.

Letting the dress speak for itself, Freida added only a simple diamond bracelet to the ensemble and wore minimal makeup.

Her black hair was styled into a french plait on one side and pulled off her face into a loose bun.

Freida joined the movie's star-studded cast at the Nokia Centre in LA.

In the film, Freida's character Phaedra joins Henry Cavill's Theseus, who battles to save humanity after Titan Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) declares war.

Also in the movie is Twilight star Kellan Lutz, Australian actress Isabel Lucas and Welshman Luke Evans.

Going all out: The premiere for the film, which will be released in theatres on Friday, was complete with actors dressed as warriors

Isabel shone on the red carpet in another cream dress with brown straps.

Indian-born Freida is has been dating London-born actor Dev Patel, 21, since they appeared in the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire in 2008.

Rumours were rife the couple were moving in together when Dev was spotted carrying a box into a $1.5million apartment in Santa Monica as Freida walked beside him.

But her publicist says she was just helping him set up at the apartment his production team put him up in while he films his HBO mini series — Aaron Sorkin’s More as the Story Develops.

Standing on her own two feet: Freida was at ease on the red carpet, posing and smiling for the dozens of photographers

The stars of the film: Henry Cavill, who plays the main character of Theseus, looked dapper in a suit as he joined Weslh actor Luke Evans

'Freida, happened to be in the same city, promoting her upcoming film Immortals and shooting for the Ellen DeGenres Show,' said the statement.

'She only helped Dev with his stuff for the tenure of his shoot. Dev and Freida have not moved in together. Dev’s base is still very much London, like Freida’s is Mumbai.

'They both travel based on their work requirements, and do not have homes, rented or owned anywhere else other than their original base. Anything contrary to this, is completely untrue and incorrect.'

Party people: Kellan Lutz also stars in the film along with Australian actress Isabel Lucas and Mickey Rorke, pictured with his girlfriend Anastassija Makarenko
