Eva Mendes got mixed reactions after sharing photos of herself in a pink Stella McCartney dress and gray over-the-knee boots on Instagram, with some fans praising the bold look, while others compared the dress to a curtain and called the boots “shocking.”

Ryan Gosling‘s stunning wife seldom gets it wrong when it comes to her sartorial choices, with social media users often calling the Oscar-nominated actor a “lucky man” for being married to her. However, opinions were split in the comment section of the post she shared with her 7.3M followers on June 16th. Check out the post and all the pics here.

Eva Mendes Wears A Divisive Pink Dress And Rubber Boots On Instagram

The ageless Hitch actress shared a carousel of photos from a playful fashion shoot wearing a baby pink Stella McCartney dress. The silky design featured dramatic exaggerated shoulders, long sleeves, and an elegant draped silhouette.

The mom-of-two paired the statement dress with gray over-the-knee rubber boots, which appeared to divide the internet even more than the dress itself! Her brunette hair was styled in voluminous curls with a deep side part, and she was seen running her hands through her hair in one of the photos.

Other images showed the children's book author blowing a bubble with pink bubble gum, with one note at the bottom of the image reading, "make bubble bigger." The whimsical styling and playful direction of the shoot got positive reactions from many fans, but very negative ones from others…

Fan Comments

Starting with the positive reactions, one fan exclaimed: "I love this fit! Honestly, the combo of the grey boots with the pink dress is stunning." They went on to describe Eva as "so beautiful," followed by a red heart emoji.

"Giving me Barbarella Barbie vibes," gushed a second fan, while a third simply wrote: "Wow," followed by three fire emojis. "Girl, everything looks good on you!" praised a fourth fan, while a fifth echoed: "You can make anything look good."

Not all of the comments were positive, however. "Noooo. Looks like a curtain valance. And those boots. Looks like she's got rubber boots on for fishing. I usually love everything she wears but certainly not this," wrote one disappointed fan.

"Noooo big NO!" exclaimed a second. "Yuck," slammed a third, while a fourth agreed: "No not it." "Absolutely shocking boots," criticized a fifth IG user, while a sixth concurred: "I love you but that's a no! Lol horrible 80's vibes. Tell your stylist the fans don't like." Ouch!
