Eva Mendes turned heads once again with her effortlessly stylish appearance.

In a recent Instagram post, the Hitch icon wore a trendy butter-yellow cardigan with statement balloon sleeves—one of her current favorites. The soft, radiant hue enhanced her natural glow, while she leaned into the no-pants trend by pairing it with an oversized, printed Project Hail Mary T-shirt, showing off her toned legs.

Eva Mendes Rocks A Butter-Yellow Cardigan

The mom of two styled her highlighted brunette hair in a messy center part and opted for a sultry smoky eye paired with nude lips. In the video, Eva posed in front of her bathroom mirror and gave fans a full 360, adding a humorous touch by joking about how her Cuban mom would likely question the oversized sleeves instead of appreciating the fashion-forward look.

Fans quickly filled the comments section with praise. “You and Ryan have the coolest cardigans, I swear!” one user wrote. Another added, “You ma’am are gorgeous.” Others chimed in with, “Looks cozy and comfy,” and “Love the buttery color,” while one commenter noted, “The yellow looks great, the sweater looks a bit baggy—still a nice style.”

While Mendes has stepped away from acting since marrying Ryan Gosling and welcoming their two daughters, she continues to make waves—this time in the business world. The actress recently graced the cover of Business Traveler, stunning in a bright yellow dress while promoting a kitchen essential.

Eva Mendes Talks About Launch Of Her Kitchen Sponges

Mendes is a co-owner and brand ambassador for Skura Style, a company known for its antimicrobial, odor-resistant sponges. She also launched the “Eva Mendes Collection,” featuring her own designs, including SKRUBBY sponges with Fade-to-Change® technology and “Very Skrubby” scouring pads. Her involvement with the brand came naturally, as she was once a customer searching for a better alternative to traditional kitchen sponges.

Speaking with the magazine, she shared her passion for the product: “It sounds weird, because how do you love a sponge?” she says. “But I love doing dishes, which also sounds weird, but nothing makes me happier than a clean kitchen.”

“It’s about a state of mind. When I walk into my kitchen and see a clean sink and a beautiful sponge it helps me internally feel better. We’re inundated by so many things today, so our homes don’t have to be as clean as possible, but as clear as possible.”

Unlike other celebrity-founded lifestyle brands, Mendes prefers to keep things more low-key when it comes to her business ventures.

“I don’t like to share what I envision because I feel like it diminishes a power within me. I’m very much that type of girl who shows up with a project and no one knew what I was doing or working on,” the 52-year-old said, “It’s very simple for me. I love clean things. I love beautiful things and I love design. Even if it’s something as little as a sponge, if that can be beautiful and work well, that makes life a little bit better.”
