Eva Mendes has one of the most alluring faces in Hollywood. Although she has her pick of designer clothes she is often spotted in vintage dresses, both on and off the red carpet.
Eva wears vintage day dresses as well as formal evening gowns:
1950s rose print dress
1960s brocade shift
1980s polka dots
1960s sequin dress
1970s maxi dress
1970s coral frock with lace trim
1950s Lancetti dress
Her sultry looks are strongly reminiscent of another Latin beauty - Sophia Loren. Fashion editors have played up to this similarity in several magazine shoots...

The contemporary designs Eva wears are usually very retro-inspired:

Valentino
1970s-style gown by Stella McCartney
1950s-style prom dress by Monique Lhuillier
1940s-inspired tailoring in Dior
Her style is very Old Hollywood - even down to the accessories:
Eva's look really reminds of this photo of actress Valerie Hobson:

The actress recently partnered with New York & Company to create a fashion line, which will be called Eva by Eva Mendes. The line will be rolled out across 519 US stores later this year.
