Eva Mendes stepped to the red carpet for the premiere of her new movie, The Place Beyond the Pines.

I actually really liked this dress on Eva. It appears that Eva is trying to shed her sex pot image by wearing less revealing, body conscious dresses. This one fits the bill. I liked the color, and that's about it. The neckline makes her chest look weird especially since it's sitting right on top of the butterfly waistband. The neckline should be lower, and the belt not as wide. While the butterflies are cute, let's just leave that to Mariah Carey.

Eva's satin shoes were also Prada.

Eva's hair and make-up were sexy which didn't go with the sweet vibe that she was going for.

C. Stop fighting it, Eva. Own that you're sexy because the route that you're going is not working.

Eva Mendes and Vogue Eyewear held a soiree for the launch of their Spring/Syummer Communications Campaign. Eva is the face of the brand.

I really like this Valentino dress. I love the yellow lace with the pink and white lace woven in it as well. Love her clutch. However, there are a few issues.

Number one, this dress reads too young for Eva. Wearing clothing that is not age appropriate actually ages you. Dressing young doesn't exactly make you look young. Number two, those velvet shoes are way too heavy for a dress that reads Spring.

Loved her loosely curled hair.

D. I adore the dress and the clutch. But, the dress reads too young and the shoes are too heavy. Let's leave this to the Bella Thornes of the world.

Eva Mendes also attended the AFI Fest for a special screening of her movie, Holy Motors.

The actress managed to look both sexy and sophisticated in a little black dress. The Dolce & Gabbana dress was made of lace with short sleeves and a pretty neckline. The neckline managed to cover up her girls without losing her sex appeal.

The Dolce dress was paired with a pair of classic black pumps and a black and gold Sergio Rossi clutch. Her emerald bracelet gave the look a little color. My one complaint about the look is that she could have worn a more adventurous pair of shoes. The dress was really simple so the shoes wouldn't have been a distraction.

I love the voluminous curls that added to the sexy, sophisticated vibe to her LBD.

A. Eva looks stunning as always.

Eva Mendes stepped to the red carpet for the premiere of her movie, A Place Beyond the Pines. She co-stars with Bradley Cooper.

Eva wore a really pretty Dolce & Gabbana cocktail dress. The dress was a black sheath with a black and white lace overlay. The lace also had tiny black beading on it. The look was completed with a black clutch and black Casadei pumps.

I wasn't thrilled with her hair. The turban doesn't really fit with the aesthetic of the dress. And her updo looks a little messy.

B. The turban ruined the look for me.
