Eva Mendes was the epitome of chic as she flaunted a flowy blue patterned dress she donned to celebrate the ringing of 2023 and shared a stylish snap of the ensemble to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday.
The Hitch actress, 48, struck a fashion-forward pose while surrounded by scenic nature to better show off her ‘New Year’s dress’.
The mother-of-two was recently spotted with her long-term partner Ryan Gosling upon her arrival in Sydney, just ahead of Friday’s special bank holiday.

The talented businesswoman wore the Icon Waterfall Dress by Australian designer Carla Zampatti, which costs $926, according to the official website.
The blue printed dress featured both long sleeves and a classic high neckline, with various stripe patterns embroidered onto the fabric.
Eva opted for a thick, dark green croc embossed belt to better accentuate her waist and add a stylish edge.
The Ghost Rider actress penned a quick caption: “Giving my @carlazampatti New Years dress some extra love,” and gushed, “Love! Love! Love!’ followed by a black heart emoji.

Her voluminous locks, which she recently dyed red, were parted at the side and cascaded down her shoulders in elegant waves.
Eva slipped into a pair of unique open toe heels that featured a purple strap with white detailing across her toes, while gold thinner straps secured around her ankles.
The entrepreneur refrained from eye-catching pieces of jewelery in order to focus on the dress and platform heels.
She also shared a clip of herself modeling the dress on New Year’s Day and penned a motivational caption: “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”
In the clip, the star stood at the top of the stairs and posed under an archway of tree branches while a gentle breeze gently twirled her dress and hair.

Ready for a change: Eva revealed in an Instagram post last December that she had dyed her hair red: “Mira esto! I blushed
During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Eva opened up about the publication and revealed that she has no future film or television projects in the works.
“I’m concentrating on [Skura] at the moment. I have some other side hustles, I’m so superstitious I can’t talk about it,” she admitted.
Skura Style is a kitchen-focused company known for manufacturing cleaning products such as sponges. Eva became a huge fan of the sponge and the brand, becoming not only a celebrity brand ambassador but also a co-owner of the company.
“As far as acting goes, it has to be right. It has to be exciting because at that point it has to be something super exciting. This door is not closed, it is slightly ajar! But it’s not closed,” added the 2 Fast 2 Furious actress.
Main focus: Although Eva told The Hollywood Reporter that her main focus is being the co-owner of Skura Style, the “door is not closed” to her acting career
She explained that one of the big reasons for working with Skura was, “It’s a woman-owned company, which really interested me and I wanted to be a supporter,” later adding, “The one thing I always hold on to.” is that I’m not afraid to fail.’
Eva and her long-term partner, Ryan Gosling, were recently spotted out in Sydney with the actor’s mum and sister to celebrate the New Year. The two lovebirds share daughters Esmeralda (8) and Amada (6).
The talented duo, who began dating after meeting on the set of The Place Beyond The Pines in 2011, are living in Australia with their children while the The Notebook star films his upcoming film The Fall Guy.
The action film, which is an adaptation of the ’80s series of the same name, will also star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emily Blunt and Stephanie Hsu.
Eva has supported Ryan’s work in the past and recently shared an adorable post expressing her excitement at seeing Gosling play Ken in Great Gerwig’s 2023 film Barbie.
