Freida Pinto is effortlessly chic in a navy midi dress and straw hat at Wimbledon

Freida Pinto was effortlessly stylish in a navy blue midi dress on Wednesday as she attended day 10 of the Wimbledon tennis championships.

The actress, 38, looked radiant in the button-up knit number paired with a straw hat as she braved the drizzly weather at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club alongside other famous names.

Freida, meanwhile, paired her chic ensemble with a white handbag and simple black heels.

Her raven-black locks fell over her shoulders under her hat as she emphasized her features with a light palette of dewy makeup.

The Slumdog Millionaire star topped it off with a huge black umbrella and a dazzling smile before taking the action on the courts.

Elsewhere, Liam Payne and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy looked united as always during their visit to Wimbledon.

While Jessie J looked effortlessly stylish in a pink co-ord when she arrived with her boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman.

Other stars who stepped out for the annual tennis event also included Christopher Biggins, Will Sharpe and Zara and Mike Tindall.

Freida’s outing comes after she revealed earlier this year how she was effectively ousted from Hollywood for more than two years after refusing to take on ‘stereotypical’ roles while denouncing the film industry’s ‘lack of imagination’ and diversity .

The Mumbai-born actress – who rose to fame playing ingénue in Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning drama – appeared to have the world at her feet after receiving critical acclaim for her portrayal of Latika, a role that earned her a host of award nominations .

But despite becoming one of the industry’s most sought-after Indian actresses, Freida never achieved the kind of dazzling fame enjoyed by many of her contemporaries — something the star now blames on Hollywood’s utter “lack of willingness to to attempt’. something new’.

Speaking at the NYWIFT Awards in March, Freida denounced the film industry’s “lack of imagination,” detailing how “frustrated” she was after being typecast in the same roles over and over again.

“Stereotypes after stereotypes, lack of imagination, lack of willingness to do something different, to try something new really started to eat away at me and left me frustrated and I started turning down roles,” she said.

However, Freida says she soon found the offers drying up when it became clear she wasn’t willing to play a certain kind of role, explaining, “Guess what? The offers also started to disappear.

“I was unemployed for two and a half years.”

While Freida didn’t elaborate on the period when she didn’t get any roles, her career took a serious downturn after appearing in the 2011 movie Immortals – after which she didn’t film another major project until 2014.

It was a disappointing turn of events for the star, who confessed that she was over the moon when she landed the role in Slumdog Millionaire after years of pursuing her dream of performing on screen.

Freida was plucked from relative obscurity by Boyle at 22 to play the role of Latika opposite then-up and coming British actor Dev Patel in the rags-to-riches tale — and she says she knew as soon as she secured the part that she needed to “ride the wave” of opportunities it created for her.
