Eva Mendes walked the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival last night with boyfriend Ryan Gosling for the premiere of their film ’The Place Beyond The Pines’.
The actress opted for a semi-sheer Dolce & Gabbana dress from the designers’ Fall 2012 collection for the event.
This is a difficult look to pull off on the red carpet. The busy lace will always detract from the person wearing it.
She’s attempted to keep her accesories to a minimum with the simple Casadei blade pumps and clutch, and though I admire Eva’s bravery with the Prada turban, I’m not sure it works here.
What do you think?

I do not have the words to explain to you how much i love this
Only a handful of people could pull this of and Eva is on top of that list
Totally agree! When I saw this I said wow! It’s just utterly perfect!
I adore this look
Random turban aside, I like this look. The accessories (especially the waistband) are well chosen. I also like the length of the dress and the sleeves better on Eva than the model.
+1. Going back and forth on the turban. Love everything else.
.
She looks fierce!
I love the Prada turban and LOVE her boyfriend! lol
I agree, I don’t think that the turban works here. The rest of her look is amazing.
She look divine,I want everything she wears but i think i want ryan gosling more.
I don’t like this look and I HATE her facial expressions. She seems way too short for this dress although the turban looks fine. Also, I can’t wait to see this movie!! (only for Gos and the director)
I think she looks exotic and fiercely fine, lucky Ryan….
I love the dress on her, but I really don’t like the turban.
+1
Turban?! no! RYAN? argh argh!
She is giving life to this look…Love everything
It’s crazy and overwrought, but I almost think she’s pulling it off!
Ryan and Bradley look fiiinnnee
Do not like this look at all (!!). The turban feels awfully awkward and out of place here. Ditch the turban, shorten the dress a little bit, get a pair of delicate sexy sandals and a pretty grey/silver minaudiere.
She looks sophisticated. I like it!
After looking at the last two photos, I have to say : life is not fair!
LOL… so true!
I think she pulled it off. It works really well imo.
I like everything except the turban, too much “Sunset Boulevard” for my taste; not with this dress, anyway, which is very beautiful and the accessory of the last photo… great choice!
Oh, but that turban must be dealt with. Preferably with fire – so we can’t chance having it appearing again in another celebrity head.
As for the dress… I love lace, but there’s to much of it. It needs to be shortened, or loose the sleves, or get a less severe cleavage – 2 of those 3 would be good.
I don’t like the look at all , no to the dress , double no for the turban…She looks too matron , her best accessory is her boyfriend Ryan Gosling…
divine, turban and all, as only Eva Mendez (or Sophia Loren) could pull off.
I love it too- I think she pulls it off wonderfully!
love this look from head to toe!
no turbans ever under any circumstances…
I agree.
the turban makes it. she looks incredible
Who says busy lace are distracting?? Eva Mendes proves Fashion Police wrong by looking every inch the goddess in this semi sheer lace up dress by Dolce & Gabbana!! We love how she makes the dress speak for itself by wearing simple heels and the turban makes her look well polished!! Perfection!!
Adore this look, Eva is just a goddess!!
