Eva Mendes in Dolce & Gabbana - 'The Place Beyond the Pines' Premiere at 2012 TIFF

Eva Mendes attended the premiere of 'The Place Beyond the Pines' at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.  She was there with Ryan Gosling.

Eva wore a black and white lace dress under which she wore a simple LBD from the Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012 collection.

I liked the dress on her but the turban, and strongly line and arched eyebrow really aged Eva.

A loose, wavy hairstyle and red lips would have looked gorgeous on the actress.

Eva Mendes in Jonathan Saunders - 'Today' Show Appearance

Eva Mendes was spotted entering a studio in New York City on Wednesday morning as she made her way to appear on the 'Today' show.

She looked full of spring cheer, despite the grey weather in a Jonathan Saunders Fall 2012 dress.  Yes, it is a Fall dress but doesn't look out of place in May.

Eva wore it without the beige belt that can be seen on the model; I would have liked to see  it on Eva though.  Wavy hair and caramel Brian Atwood pumps were the finishing touches.

Eva Mendes in Prada - 2012 Met Ball

Eva Mendes looked her very best at the Met Ball.

She wore a strapless, tangerine silk Prada dress with an embroidered and beaded bust and peplum waist.

The colour was gorgeous on her, and she wore it with a bombshell-style blow-out.

Eva Mendes in Honor - 'Girl in Progress' LA Premiere

Eva Mendes did a red carpet appearance after a long time.  She attended the LA premiere of her latest movie 'Girl in Progress'.

She wore a sweet, plaid print Honor Spring 2012 dress with ivory underlay.  The dress is signature Eva in the way that it cinches in at the waist and then flares out into a voluminous skirt.

Eva wore her hair up and showed off her bronzed shoulders and completed the look with black Jimmy Choo heels.

Ferregamo Fans

Spotted: Various fashionable faces at the showing of the Salvatore Ferregamo Resort Collection 2011, and all looked so very chic!

Ashley Greene's white dress was perfect for the season, but the enhanced shoulders make her look broader than she is.

Freida Pinto's printed silk top, paired with a crisp white skirt was perfect office-wear, the brown wedge sandals added a more relaxed touch to it.

Emma Roberts' velvet dress bothers me, but she just about carries it off, thanks to the hair, shoes and purely that fact that it's Emma.

Eva Mendes looked effortlessly stylish, nothing different here.

Fashion Roundup

Diane Kruger knocked it out of the park once more this week, in this scarlet Yves Saint Laurent gown that featured a risky neckline and a bold colour, but Diane managed to stand her own just fine.

Eva Mendes too looked spectacular at a Thierry Mugler event (she's the face of the perfume, "Angel"). Eva naturally opted for a Mugler dress, and this white gown is so understated yet perfectly glamorous!

Sienna Miller and Kirsten Dunst both attended pre-Wimbledon parties in London and both stuck to white.

Sienna wore a lacy white Ralph Lauren shift with a high neck; however, those black boots killed the look for me - why wear them with such a pretty dress and when it's the summer?

Kirsten Dunst looked very lady-like and season-appropriate in a floral, below the knee dress that she paired with her gold heels and added red lipstick.


Cameron Diaz continued showing off her pins in a Chanel mini, in NYC. She's taken it too far though, the dress would have looked more classy had the hemline been more modest.

Anna Paquin too wore an LBD, the Versus mini is perfect for the "True Blood" star's style.


Liv Tyler looked gorgeous this week in her cobalt blue Stella McCartney sheath - the colour, the fit and the hair and make up are spot on.

Kate Bosworth went with a bold colour this week too, in her neon pink Richard Nicoll frock that she wore with nude Chloé heels. I wish she'd done something with the hair though, it looks messy and scraggly.

2011 Guys Choice Awards

Spike TV's 5th annual Guy's Choice Awards took place Saturday night at the Sony Pictures Studios in California and was fêted by a host of actresses.

Scarlett Johansson put on a cute Valentino dress, with strappy heels. I'm not so much into that hair style though.

Upcoming British actress (and established model) Rosie Huntingdon Whitely wore a plunge neck white dress by The Row, accessorising it with slinky gold accessories.


Minka Kelly wore a fitted cobalt blue cocktail dress by Fendi with blush pink suede Brian Atwoods. At first glance I thought she had gone jewelery-less but then saw those thin gold bangles on her right arm (I do like the bangles, this look would have been boring without them).

Mila Kunis stood out in a printed shirtdress by Lanvin, which she accessorised with a Bottega Venneta knot clutch and nude peeptoes.

Eva Mendes looked gorgeous in a lilac Roland Mouret number which she wore with a statement gold necklace.

White Off

Spotted: Kim Kardashian & Eva Mendes in cool white ensembles.

Kim was seen in Monte Carlo, in this halter white gown with a bow cinched waist; she kept her hair sideswept and loose and wore nude Louboutins. It's a different look from her in that the dress is not tightly fitted to her curves, but rather hanging a little loose. The simplicity of the dress let her show off her huge engagement rock!

Eva wore a cocktail dress, with a light tan belt accentuating her waist and patent nude Brian Atwood heels. I like this relaxed look, but would have preferred some simple strappy sandals instead of those heavy looking heels.

Young Hollywood Awards

Spotted: Camilla Belle & Eva Mendes at an event in Hollywood.

Camilla did the whole menswear inspired thing in a white suit by Tom Ford but the whole look just comes across contrived and slightly OTT.

Eva wore a long halter neck gown by Lanvin with metallic accessories - the colour is just unsightly, a more pleasant and colourful shade would have elevated this look.

Fashion Roundup

Lea Michelle looked absolutely fabulous at the Glee Academy event, in a black and white Versace dress with a tulip design. It elongates her frame and the flower motif is so pretty and unexpected! She's wearing cutout Louboutins.

Sophia Bush stepped out earlier in the week in a very stylish spring day ensemble. She was wearing a coral printed Ann Taylor sheath, topped with a taupe blazer and wore leather sandals to finish off the look.
Camilla Alves looked great at a Lexus event, in a white leg-baring gown. She accessorised with a red clutch and red lipstick.

Reese Witherspoon continued her premiere duties in Sydney, Australia. This time wearing a fun Zac Posen dress, with a voluminous hairdo. She's really into her little blue dresses right now!
Pregnancy never looked so good!

Kate Hudson looked totally fierce in NYC, in this teal leopard-print gown by Dolce & Gabbana with diamond earrings and red nails!

Jessica Alba's dress screams spring's here! The floral motif, off-shoulder design and draw-string cinched waist add so much interest to this Dolce & Gabbana dress. She completed the look with nude sandals and cat-eye sunglasses.

Jessica Szohr's casual outfit was an instant favourite of mine this week! I love the mix of the textures in this cool pale ensemble. The tan brogues and animal-print clutch pop against the separates by Tommy Hilfiger.

Demi Moore's take on coloured jeans took a turn for the worse this week, the red bottoms are shapeless and a tad too long; the outfit was okay otherwise.
Eva Mendes had a brilliant week in style stakes! She wore a silk organza Prabal Gurung dress with black pumps and later a gorgeous lime green Oscar de la Renta frock with cutout pumps; the second dress was trademark Eva!


Emma Roberts hosted a party in this ballerina-inspired Elie Saab dress, worn with the label's platform sandals; she looked great! The voluminous hair works well.

Diane Kruger worked two trends in one outing in the pink lace cocktail dress by No.21, worn with aqua coloured Brian Atwood peeptoes, finishing the look off with red lipstick and delicate hoop earrings.

At The Met Ball!

*Click on the images for a clearer look.

Eva Mendes wore a pleated dress in a royal blue colour, with a gold belt by Stella McCartney. The colour looks beautiful on her and I love this dress!

Ginnifer Goodwin wore... Topshop! Unbelievable, really but the green dress does look nice on her and I like the splashes of blue and violet in the form of the accessories.
Jennifer Lopez wore a raspberry coloured Gucci dress. The shoulder detail adds drama to the look, appropriate for the event but the dress would've looked nicer without it.

Beyonce worked those famous curves in the tight fitted Pucci dress. It's ornate and dramatic and very, very Beyonce.
Isabel Lucas and Leighton Meester represented Louis Vuitton on the red carpet.

Isabel's pink gown isn't all that exciting but that headwear is full of drama!

Leighton Meester's head to toe black look felt boring, the only interesting aspect being the earrings.

Lea Michelle looked lovely in a taffeta Escada gown in a vibrant colour, and I loved the earrings and clutch! I wish Lea had posed with more confidence, she looks a little confused! It's fair, with this being her first year at the Met Ball and all I guess.

Evan Rachel Wood brought gothic in a deep plum coloured Gucci dress, it's pretty safe and dull.

Renee Zellwegger showed up in her go to label, Carolina Herrera. The nude gown with a back drop fits her like a glove but I'm not loving the crystal beading on the sides - makes the dress look a little costume-ish.

Jennifer Hudson continues her wave of great looks! She wore Vera Wang for the evening and looked lovely!

Ladies in Red

Spotted: Eva Mendes & Deepika Padukone, both sporting a vibrant shade of the hue this week.

Eva's Gucci dress had it going on in the colour department but overall, the dress was a little too matronly, perhaps a shorter hemline could have helped.

Deepika on the other hand looked stunning in a one shoulder number, paired with gold accessories. The hair, make up, the accessories all worked so perfectly together!

Independent Spirit Awards

The Independent Spirit Awards (Indies for short) took place on Saturday night and the stars turned up in their best "cool" togs. The Indies are traditionally very laid back and fun and the celebrities kept that in mind while dressing for the occassion.

Nicole Kidman wore a strawberry-red L'Wren Scott lace sheath with pointed pink kitten heels from Charlotte Olympia. She's playing with two trends here, red & pink and pointy pumps (they're totally in, according to Vogue), she looks nice but what's with the weird hands?

I looked at Natalie Portman and went "Awww!". The expectant actress looked absolutely gorgeous, and radiant in a Givenchy number with nude Stella McCartney heels - it's got a free-spirit thing going on, totally appropriate for the Indies.

Michelle Trachtenberg looked very sophisticated in a cream, wrap-dress by Pamela Rolland - cream/white dresses were popular at the Indies this year.

Mia Wasikowska (from Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland") wore a Rodarte dress with cutouts and Nicholas Kirkwood heels - it's a bit of a washout, some colour was needed! She should have gone for something like these (Nicholas Kirkwoods) instead.

Eva Mendes wore a printed Chanel Resort dress with some cool aqua coloured Pierre Hardy heels and tons of pizzazz! Her confident pose and attitude alone sells this look.

Rosario Dawson went for an animal-print Burberry dress with slate grey Brian Atwoods. I'm not loving this dress much, the ruffles seem heavy somehow.

Both Zoe Saldana and Kerry Washington wore Dolce & Gabbana. The label is coming out with a lot of floral print and lacey stuff and these designs showcase that. I personally think it looks too busy but Zoe's slender frame makes the look work, she added some bright red Brian Atwoods to the mix.

Kerry's black, floral top & skirt were too loud for me, add to that the animal-print clutch, blunt bangs and red shoes - it's an overload!

Kate Walsh wore a cream, one-shoulder Max Mara number with pointy nude heels - kind of boring.

Vera Farmiga wore a printed red wrap dress with brown accessories in the form of the necklace, belt and shoes - it's very Indies style.

A Whole Lotta Parties

So, two parties, lots of fabulous clothes.

First up, Jennifer Love Hewitt, wearing a black & white organza Paul Ka gown; I think she tried to do an Eva Mendes but it didn't quite work out. Eva Mendes herself, wore a pretty dark rose chiffon gown (possibly a Dior) and went jewelery-less, just adding a headband to the look. Nicole Richie's tassled black gown looked great, especially with the stacked bangles. But I'm not liking the hair-do, it reminds me too much of what Chloe Sevigny did earlier on in the week.

*Update - Nicole is wearing Pucci and Eva is in Valentino

Anna Kendrick's navy Ramona Keveza dress looked great on the petite actress, she added some ankle-strap gold heels to the look. I'm in two minds over Olivia Wilde's nude gown - I love everything bust-upwards (including hair) but I can't say the same about the silky bottom part of the gown, it has the potential to look creased and not so polished. Mila Kunis wore a cute sparkly top & black trousers to the party, she stood out! And it's totally understandable if she became tired of wearing long gowns allll the time.

Kirsten Dunst wore a flowery Rodarte - it's great, just not very glamorous! Leighton Meester worked her edgy stuff in a cool Louis Vuitton dress - I like very much. Candice Accola looked all girly in an off-shoulder Tadashi Shoji gown.

Rachel Bilson wore colour! She won the battle right there in a peachy Zac Posen number which she paired with emerald green earrings, but I have berate on her about how she should have put her hair up in an elegant up-do! Camilla Belle stood out in a feathery cocktail dress with black Brian Atwoods - have yet to ID her dress and Diane Kruger maintained her style star status in a shimmery pale green mini by Azzaro, she finished the look off with a bright pink clutch and quirky pink heels.

*Update - Camilla is wearing Alberta Ferretti

Critics Choice Awards Style

Awards weekend much? Make that an awards month. The Critics Choice Awards took place in Hollywood last night and here are some of the red carpet looks!

Amy Adams wore a floral blue dress with black peeptoes and put her hair up! So classy. Eva Mendes wore a sheer lace Valentino Haute Couture dress with nude peeptoes, it's a different style for Eva but she makes it work! Nicole Kidman's navy Nina Ricci gown fell, and fell hard - I like nothing about the look.

Emma Stone brought the pizzazz back in a brilliant Balenciaga gown - the dress looks amazing on her and I'm really starting to like her blonde locks! Mila Kunis also wore a Nina Ricci frock with an asymmetrical hem and added colour via her beaded necklace. Natalie Portman looked wonderful in a Gianfranco Ferre column dress - it hides her baby bump well without looking like a sack.

Emily Blunt's black Azzaro gown fit her beautifully - the only thing missing was her husband John Krasinski! Mandy Moore broke away from the dark monotone colours by wearing a plum coloured Monique Lhuillier gown with lovely earrings. And Michelle Williams continued her winning streak by wearing an unconventional Balenciaga dress in white, with what look like satin Sergio Rossi pumps.

Few trends to take note from this event - asymmetric hemlines or "mullet" hemlines as they're being referred to are hot right now. Also, dark colours seem to be ruling the roost, with most celebrities preferring black, navy, dark purple; although white is also a popular choice. Let's hope the Golden Globes show us some much needed colour!

7. Eva Mendes

Actress Eva Mendes has also slowly creeped up the style ladder and really shined in 2010 (being a Calvin Klein jeans model doesn't hurt either!). Eva always has an effortless yet glamorous look about her which I love. She always knows what works for her and prefers to wear prom style dresses with full skirts or sleek gowns that show off her figure along with gorgeous heels (she often wears Sergio Rossis and Brian Atwood). Her go-to designers are Valentino, and Oscar de la Renta and she does full justice to the clothes with her perfect make up and glossy, volumnous hair!

Touch of Eva

Spotted: Eva Mendes looking fabulous again in Italy for the premiere of her new movie, 'La Dolce Vita'. She wore two stunners in a row, the blush pink one being a Atelier Versace and the second a wine coloured strapless Gucci gown. One word - flawless.

This Week in Fashion

Been a tad busy this week, so I'm rounding up my fashion faves of this week in this one post. First up, Elizabeth Banks, looking smashing in a canary yellow Max Mara dress - fab. Then there's the age defying Mrs. Kutcher looking half her age in a Topshop blazer, a low cut tunic an d motorcycle leggings. Reese Witherspoon comes next in a sweet little Jason Wu number at an Avon event. Freida Pinto continues with her amazing sartorial choices, wearing this pink Resort 2011 Marchesa gown, love that she let the dress do the talking by going jewelery-less. Halle Berry looked hawwwwt in a short silver dress which she wore with such elegance! Leighton Meester looks like such a doll in an all Ellie Saab ensemble, love every single thing about it. Jessica Biel & Eva Mendes were spotted at the same event looking gorgeous! Biel wore a black lacy Oscar de La Renta while Eva wore a beautiful corset number from Lela Rose which really suited her complexion. All in all, good week for these celebs!
