It's a glorious day indeed when the mysterious Eva Mendes decides to step out in the leopard print trend in New York City. Mendes left her acting career behind years ago to parent her daughters full-time, and since then, she's hardly been photographed in public—much less on the red carpet with her actor husband, Ryan Gosling.
That said, I'm starting to get the sense Mendes may be on the verge of a comeback. It started with a sighting at the Paris Olympics, where she and Gosling watched the artistic gymnastics women's uneven bars final in August. Then, on Sept. 17, Stella McCartney revealed Mendes as the face of its fall 2024 campaign alongside British singer Raye. Per Women's Wear Daily, "McCartney chose to work with Mendes for her strong voice and support for immigrants, women and children, and her entrepreneurial initiatives for good, including as the face of plastic-free water brand FloeWater."
