Whatever you want to say about Eva Mendes' acting skills, go ahead. But the girl knows how to wear a dress. From Yves St. Laurent, to Oscar de la Renta to Calvin Klein, she wears them all and wears them well. What can we learn from her? Work with your body type! Eva plays up her curves by choosing waist-defining styles and almost always goes sleeveless to highlight her toned arms. She adds a belt where there might not be one and keeps jewelry to a minimum to allow her (and her dress!) to play the starring role with a fun clutch as best supporting actor. Hair is kept relaxed and sexy. Oh, and great posture, as always, goes a long way.
This post is dedicated to my friend Shelina who is a fan of Eva Mendes and also really knows how to wear a dress.

Hi, I stumbled upon your blog from another one and the photo of Eva in the D & G rum purple gown is gorgeous on her. I agree her acting can be questionable at time, but she does know how to strut her stuff when the camera is on and the red carpet is rolled out.
I'm glad you found your way here! Yes, I totally agree that sadly, she makes a stronger impression in photos than on film.
