Eva Mendes, drunk-faced in red Gucci: lovely or too matchy?

eva_mendes_02_wenn3309454

These are photos of last night’s Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Last Night. It’s a romance-drama starring Eva Mendes, Guillaume Canet, Keira Knightley and Sam Worthington, and it actually looks like a pretty decent movie. Unfortunately, nobody but Eva came out to promote the damn thing. I understand the lack of motivation to do promotional duties on a film that you know is a train wreck, but most are saying Last Night is decent-to-good, and that everybody should be proud of their performances. So why is it only Eva Mendes waltzing around the red carpet, drunk and/or stoned off her ass, dressed in what I’m assuming is some kind of homage to a Tennessee Williams character?

In reality, the dress is Gucci. And in theory, Eva should be able to pull it off. She has a lovely skin tone, and historically, red works on her. But there’s something about this orange-red, combined with the matchy-matchy lipstick, combined with her face (which genuinely looks stoned)… it’s all a hot mess.

But why won’t anyone else promote this movie? It looks decent. Here’s the trailer:

    HATE IT!

  2. brin says:

    Ugh…that dress is awful. She is too hot for this “Gone-with-the-wind” disaster. Also, isn’t she over-dressed for Tribeca?

  3. Samigirl says:

    My 76 year old mimi has a nightgown that looks exactly like that.

  4. Zelda says:

    Kaiser, you mistagged these: I’m fairly certain these are the pics from the 1974 wedding Eva Mendes was a bridesmaid in.

  5. sorrento says:

    mm…that from the hot granny line?

  6. Aria says:

    Eva = HOT MESS
    Actually I downloaded the movie a couple of weeks ago and I really enjoy it. I would totally recommend it.

  7. Tammy says:

    She looks like Loretta Lynn heading to the Grand Ole’ Opry and her makeup is horrid.

  8. merski says:

    Seen the movie and didn’t like it that much, really. I thought it did make a few interesting (although not very groundbreaking) points about relationships, but both Eva Mendes & Sam Worthington bothered me a lot. I just think they’re both not very good actors, especially Sam. His “acting” is just mostly cringeworthy.

  9. kmn says:

    Uh oh, she definitely looks drunk/stoned. I know she’s been to rehab in the past, so hopefully she’s still sober and healthy.

  10. LadyBert62 says:

    Dang, that dress is HORRID! Too much color – I think it just gave me a migraine!

  11. curmudgeon says:

    Its more of a valley of the dolls disaster. Or maybe something one of the Price is Right girls would have worn in 1969

  12. kazoo says:

    like the dress, would be better in a different length and more fitted at the top.

    walked past where they did the premiere yesterday at around 1:30. people were already lined up, waiting. idgi.

  13. Sophie says:

    I saw the movie and thought it was really really good. Very moving in some parts. All the actors were great with the exception of Sam Worthington, but that’s usually the case.

  14. serena says:

    I’d watch the movie, it doesn’t seems so bad. meh, don’t understand why the others actors didn’t show up.

  15. Solveig says:

    This dress is nice in a ‘Little House on the Prairie’ kind of way, but I HATE orange-red. I remeber when I was a kid, maybe 3 yo, I had a little dress of the same colour and I threw horrible and unusual tantrums every time my mother tried to make me wear it.
    Anyway that’s a shade that looks good only on very few people (maybe Dita Von Teese), and Eva Mendes is not one of those few. And she should’ve combed her hair.
    Keyra probably was still busy in UK after her brother’s marriage…?

  16. Nanea says:

    The dress hangs on Eva like a sack.

    Keira was at her brother’s wedding in Scotland, as pics over at Lainey’s show. Maybe Guillaume is waiting for their kid to arrive, no idea if they’re due yet…

  17. guesty says:

    That is beyond ugly.

  18. fabchick says:

    Hate that dress. She can do much better. Also red lipstick is not for everyone. Her make-up looks to harsh, she looks better with a glowing neutral look.

  19. Erin says:

    She looks like Cindy Crawford in the last pic!

  20. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    Donna Martin prom dress.

    Who keeps hiring this black hole of charisma, Sam Worthington?

  21. Anti-icon says:

    She usually dresses well, but this…..reminds me of the Lawrence Welk show women, which my Grandma made me watch. It’s so retro, but NOT in a cute way at all. (She looks like Anita Bryant, the anti=gay orange juice beauty queen of the 60s…..again, not a good thing.)

    LOLLOLLOLLOLLOL

  22. Newbie says:

    I think the dress is too matronly to be worn by someone so gorgeous. That is all. As for that trailer, it pretty much looks like a boiling pot of lust and everything that makes me angry at the world.

  23. ash says:

    shes over rated and not that great looking or talented

  24. Forelithe says:

    I want Gok Wan to apply his scissors to that dress !

  25. JoJo says:

    Saw the movie – it’s “ok” but too pretentious in trying to act like it’s saying something so meaningful about relationships when the storyline has been done before – many times. Eva Mendes is not a good actress.

  26. cruiz2 says:

    Dress is funky OK bring back the look, but I so hate the matching lipstick!!! Do it different.

  27. tracking says:

    Does anyone know what is up with her eyebrows? The bizarrely overarched tarantula-like shape seems to pop up on women ‘of a certain age’: e.g. Mendes, Kidman, Kate Walsh. Is it an effect of the ‘tox?

  28. coco says:

    i thought it was cute until the whole pic loaded then my reaction was exactly like brin….UGH who wears THAT much fabric anymore?

  29. luls says:

    Eva looks really witchy in these pics. I never found her particularly pretty to begin with, and always wandered when her ‘sex appeal’ was gonna start waning. Seems like it finally has.

    The trailer for this movie seems quite good though. I love all Keira Knightley movies! Shes super-gorgeous and talented, and seems to save anything shes cast in 🙂

  30. wifeyskarsgard says:

    She is a gorgeous girl but maybe she got dressed while she was drunk/stoned?! As for the movie it looks decent enought to watch and i would’nt have minded seeing Sam Worthington’s fine ass.
