Eva Mendes looked bright and chic in a long blue coat and leopard print dress as she arrived at the studios of Good Morning America on Tuesday morning.
As she prepared to promote her first children’s book, Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries, the actress, 50, appeared in good spirits as she blew kisses and waved to fans in New York City.
For the occasion, the mother of two, who is married to Ryan Gosling, oozed glamour as she sported a pair of black over-the-knee boots and a leather handbag.
Her accessories included oversized black sunglasses, statement earrings and a large gold ring.
Before appearing in front of the camera, she put on a blue and white striped blazer and matching skirt.

During her segment, Mendes talked about the message of her picture book, which tells the story of a little girl facing a host of terrifying worries.
The artist explained that she wrote the story to help girls Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8, overcome the complexities of anxiety and intrusive thoughts.
She explained to George Stephanopoulos that the book has helped her teach her daughters not to “believe everything” they think when their brains are “overstimulated.”
Mendes also spoke about taking time off from acting to raise his family.
When asked if she had plans to return, Mendes admitted she wasn’t sure but was open to “interesting roles.”
“Ten years ago I left at a time when I felt like I had made it. I worked with Ryan Gosling, he’s the best,” she said. “Working with him was a great moment in my career. And what we created together made me think, ‘This is a good time to do something like Seinfeld and walk away.’ So, who knows.”
On Tuesday, Mendes appeared in Stella McCartney’s cruelty-free winter campaign.
In the photo, the actress can be seen wearing a strapless black dress and carrying a matching handbag.
Underneath his image was the message: “It’s about damn time.”

Mendes and Gosling met while filming The Place Beyond the Pines in 2012.
Two years later, the couple reunited on the set of Lost River, a film written and directed by Gosling and starring Mendes.
The couple’s romance has largely remained under the radar, but in the past year, with the release of Gosling’s Barbie, they’ve made more comments about their relationship than ever before.
In 2020, Mendes spoke out on Instagram about her decision to keep her relationship and family life private, writing: “I’ve always had a clear boundary when it comes to my man and my kids. I will talk about them of course with boundaries but I won’t post pictures of our daily life.

“As my children are still very young and do not understand what it really means to post their image, I do not have their consent. And I will not post their image until they are old enough to give me their consent.”
The couple have only made a couple of red carpet appearances together to promote the film they met on, The Place Beyond The Pines, which was released in 2013.
Eva previously spoke about the reason she doesn’t attend red carpet events with Ryan when she posted pictures from Place Beyond The Pines on Instagram.
She wrote: “The magic is real. We didn’t meet on set. The magic started long before, but here’s a little bit of magic captured on camera.”

In 2022, she finally confirmed rumors that she and Gosling were secretly married after more than a decade together.
While appearing on Channel Nine’s Today show in 2022, she casually referred to Gosling as her “husband”.
