Lately Eva Mendes has been hiding under giant maxi dresses or channeling Lucille Ball in 50s frocks. But we know she isn't prim and proper so we welcome her new look - complete with a new darker do and short, strapless Bill Blass dress - with open arms. Hot!

This just in: yellow is the "it" color for '09. Eva just confirmed. We also think blue eyeliner could really make it too, you know, on chicks as sexy as she anyway.

Just one more thing before we part, did you fall off of your chair while checking out those Loub's? Oh the tears of Louboutin joy!
