The dress has been envisioned in a bright poison green shade. The colour is vibrant and bold and we think Pinto will sparkle in it as she has a lovely dusky complexion. The fabric is duchesse satin, which has a nice sheen. Since Pinto is slim and petite, she would look great in form-flattering clothes, which is why the dress will be given a mermaid-like hour-glass silhouette so that it can accentuate her slender frame. The dress flares out, adding volume, and will be draped with pleated layers. The idea is to give her a look which is strong and dramatic, yet elegant.

The colour we would want Pinto to wear is plum. It is a vintage shade and we think it will go very well with her skin tone. In fact, nudes and other vintage colours suit her. We envision a dress made from layers of net which will be clinched under the bust and at the waist. This area will have silver and Swarvoski crystal work and the embroidery pattern will be modern. We believe the dress is a representation of a blend of modern and vintage India. Pinto has a slim but strong jaw line, and by keeping the shoulders bare, we believe her look will be enhanced even more.
• Abraham and Thakore
We would choose to dress Pinto in a sari because it is a sexy garment and also represents India. The blouse would be a barely-there halter made with a sheet of metallic black sequins. The sari would definitely be black since the Academy Awards are a formal affair. Since Pinto has a petite frame, we feel a silk-georgette fabric would drape well. The sari would have a hint of the same metal sequins as the blouse so that it shimmers when she moves.
