This Sunday, next to a cover line that reads “wonder women,” Freida

This Sunday, next to a cover line that reads “wonder women,” Freida Pinto is a style role model on a mainstream New York fashion magazine.

The latest cover of T: The New York Times Style Magazine’s Women’s Fashion issue stars Indian actress Freida Pinto, currently the subcontinent’s most famous face on the global fashion radar. Due to appear on U.S. stands this Sunday, the first look appeared on the magazine’s Facebook page today.

“I’ve only been here one day and I already love it. It’s Bombay but more organized. I would move to Manhattan in a minute!” she told Paper magazine in December 2008 just months before the Oscars that changed her life.

Looking forward to seeing how/if her career progresses. She certainly has acquired the proper acting roles, but is Hollywood ready for a South Asian leading lady?
