Although Eva Mendes has stepped away from acting in recent years—whether it’s a hiatus or a full retirement—she’s still showing up in style to support her husband, Ryan Gosling, and his latest projects.
At the New York City premiere of Project Hail Mary, the children’s book author turned heads in a satin ruby top featuring elegant draped detailing in a layered, upside-down V silhouette. The look was accented with a gold hardware necklace that wrapped around the neckline. She paired the statement piece with black sheer leggings and red-bottom heels, wearing her brown curls loose in a side part and finishing the look with warm, bronzed makeup.

Eva Mendes Sizzles In A Ruby-Red Top
In an Instagram Reel, the 52-year-old shared her outfit moment, writing, “I didn’t walk the carpet but—I fell in love with this fresh off the runway Stella McCartney piece and it needs a moment.”
Fans were thrilled by her rare public appearance, flooding the comments with praise. “Ryan is a lucky man!” one person wrote. Another added, “Love the pink color on you—also that glowing skin.” A third commented, “The dress shape makes your legs go on for days! So beautiful. Stella really knows how to dress for women’s bodies.”
Others chimed in with, “The outfit, the hair—QUEEN,” and “She is just gorgeous and talented, one of my all-time favorites.”
In another playful snap from her post, Mendes leaned in close to the Project Hail Mary poster and planted a kiss on Gosling’s photo—proving she’s his biggest fan both on and off the red carpet.
Project Hail Mary is a science fiction adventure that follows Ryland Grace, a middle school science teacher who unexpectedly becomes an astronaut. He wakes up alone aboard a spaceship with no memory of how he got there, only to realize he’s humanity’s last hope. As his memories slowly return, he uncovers his mission: to stop a mysterious sun-draining organism known as Astrophage that threatens life on Earth. With time running out, Grace must depend on his scientific knowledge, quick thinking, and an unlikely alien ally to complete the mission and save the planet.

Ryan Gosling Opens Up About His Daughters In New Interview
Eva and Ryan share two daughters, Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, 9. During a March 18 appearance on the New Heights podcast with Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, Gosling opened up about how the film serves as a hopeful message for his children.
“Being a dad, having two young kids, I feel like everything is designed to scare them,” he shared. “I was so grateful, just as a father, to get to make a story for my kids—maybe, not to be too lofty—for their generation, that reminds you of what we’re capable of as human beings.”
The couple have been together since meeting on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011. Known for keeping their relationship private, the pair made their first public red carpet appearance a year later at the Toronto International Film Festival. They welcomed their first daughter in 2014, followed by their second in 2016. In November 2022, Mendes appeared to confirm their marriage by sharing a photo of her “de Gosling” tattoo.
