We can ignore this lady no longer, as she is undoubtedly the new fashion star to emerge out of awards season.
Kate Winslet may have made headlines for her clingy frocks, but our heads have firmly been turned by Ms. Pinto and her stunning style.
The Indian actress first came to our attention when the promotion began for her film, the critically acclaimed Slumdog Millionaire.
Her fashion choices to both premieres and award ceremonies constantly hit the right notes with the fashion pack.
She's topped our best dressed list a few times now, and as any celebrity who has even an ounce of sense knows, that is the true sign that you have made it in the fashion world.
It helps of course that Freida is naturally stunning, isn't too thin and appears to be a genuinely nice person, who can't quite believe the success around her and that of course, makes her both likeable and appealing to women.
It's not just the ordinary folk who have gone a bit nuts for Freida either, as the fashion world are also starting to create a buzz around her and her style.
Designers are suddenly clamouring to dress her for every event going, and with Slumdog Millionaire almost certain to achieve Oscar glory, the dress she wears on the night will receive an unprecedented amount of attention.
Freida is versatile enough to pull off a lot of different fashion looks, ranging from metallic mini dresses, to full length nude coloured gowns.
This makes her all the more appealing too, for those who will undoubtedly want to sign her up for some fashion campaigns in the future.
Her appearance at The BAFTAs in a baby pink tiered gown by Oscar De La Renta was considered a triumph in the run-up to the Oscars, cementing her as a fashion one to watch for the near future.
All eyes will now be on her Oscar dress choice, which could arguably make or break her as a fashion icon. We have a hunch it will most definitely be the former...
