Eva Mendes Stuns In A Green Halter Dress On Instagram
In the video, which was filmed in a gorgeous pink and white marble kitchen, the truly ageless 51-year-old Hitch actress proved that spring is well and truly on the way with her bold outfit.
The mom-of-two looked radiant in a bright green halter-neck dress with an exaggerated collar while talking about her love of cleanliness and organization. She wore her hair in a glamorous low pony, and her makeup consisted of dark smoky eyes and a plump pink lip.
The Place Beyond the Pines actress spoke about liking her kitchen organized in the video, and said: “When there’s clutter in the kitchen specifically, and everywhere else as well, I feel like my brain works harder to try to make sense, and then therefore it’s kind of like more on alert.” She went on: “It’s not just about ‘I like things clean,’ no, I like how I feel when things are clean.”
The Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries author captioned her video: “Can anyone relate? I feel like my mood is always connected to the condition of my surroundings at any given moment. So when I can control my environment – which is really only in my home – I do.” She finished off with a green heart emoji, to match perfectly with the stunning color of her dress.
