It’s easy to envy Eva Mendes. Her boyfriend just so happens to be Ryan Gosling, and she recently had his baby. Plus, the part-Cuban actress — who once wanted to be a Catholic nun — was one of the first women of color to be the lead in a major romantic comedy. (Remember Hitch? Fun fact: Eva was in a Will Smith music video 7 years before they were in Hitch together.) She seems funny, down to earth, and just plain stylish.

Eva’s personal style is simple yet elegant — she knows how to let her natural beauty shine, and something tells me she’d look flawless even without any makeup. I especially love her turquoise necklace and white strapless dress from the Golden Globes a few years back. Well, no need to envy her red carpet style — you can have it too! Get her look with our turquoise and amethyst Painter Necklace, made from Mexican sterling silver, and a strapless white cocktail dress. Finish the look with understated earrings and a confident smile.

What do you think? Are you a fan of Eva’s red carpet look?
