Eva Mendes Poses In A Bright Red Dress On Instagram
While she may not be performing in movies anymore these days, Eva is still working hard and pleasing her loyal fanbase, as she's had quite the busy year. Aside from raising her and her husband, Ryan's two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada, she has gone on other ventures like writing children's books, including her latest release, Desi, Mami, & The Never Ending Worries.
She's made a few public appearances and done a handful of readings for her book, wearing some pretty chic and stylish outfits along the way. This week, she decided to switch things up a bit and posed in a bright red, long-sleeved dress for a fun, unexpected photoshoot on Instagram. The dress was made from a silky material and had a high, almost turtleneck-like neckline, creating a more avant-garde look.
Eva left her long, highlighted hair down and in a voluminous style and paired the dress with some large black sunglasses. She also had a pair of classic black pumps on and took a mirror selfie to show off her bright red nails, which matched her dress.
