So surreal! Teresa Palmer and Frieda Pinto let imagination run wild in patterned dresses at the Knight Of Cups premiere 

One plays a carefree stripper and the other is a model in Terrence Malick's new film Knight Of Cups.

Teresa Palmer, 30, and Frieda Pinto, 31, had that magical tarot quality going for them as they hit up the movie's Los Angeles premiere on Tuesday.

Australian beauty Teresa looked lively in a black and brightly printed mini-dress with demure neckline and, in contrast, a thigh-skimming hemline that showcased her toned limbs.

A pair of black ankle-strapped heels and an artsy clutch added elegance.

Teresa, who prefers a more natural look off camera, surprised onlookers with her very glamorous hairstyle and make-up.

Her eyes were lined in heavy dark liner and purple shadows while her blonde locks were pulled to the side in a wispy bun.

Teresa's co-star in the film, Frieda, followed that train of thought in a busily patterned, black and silver frock.

The Indian actress wore her raven-dark locks pulled back in a chic 'do while silvery high heels and a white handbag finished off the look.

Leading man Christian Bale arrived with his wife Sibi with the actor dressed down in jeans and a black button-down shirt and brown shoes.

Sibi looked pretty in a black short-sleeved blouse over a black lacy skirt and black pumps.

Christian, of course, knows his co-star Teresa by now, but thought she was a real stripper on the set of the film.

The Welsh actor, 41, admitted as much to the Evening Standard, saying: 'I had no idea that she was an actress until about a week after working with her.'

The movie, which also stars Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman, focuses on a writer (Bale) who tries to find himself and love by indulging in a series of adventures with six different women.

Candice Bergen showed she's a fan of Malick's directing and writing style by showing up to the premiere.

Nina Gershon was bundled up in a long black coat with a glittery handbag for extra pizzazz.
