Lightning Strikes Twice For Eva Mendes

Eva Mendes arrives at Picturehouse’s premiere of her new comedy, The Women, at Mann Village Theater on Thursday in Westwood, Calif.

The 34-year-old actress paired her cowl-neck Bill Blass dress with Lightning Bolt stilettos from Dsquared2. She accessorized her look with a Jimmy Choo “Tube” satin clutch.

Eva plays an adulterer in The Women but says that infidelity isn’t so simple. She explains to Extra!, “It depends on the situation. It’s all circumstantial….I’m not the first to say, ‘If your man cheats, you must leave him.’ I think relationships go through things and I think if you have a strong foundation and you’re going through a rough patch, leaving isn’t always the thing to do.”
