Eva Mendes has resurfaced in London’s Notting Hill, making her first public appearance in six months. The 51-year-old actress kept things understated, shielding part of her face beneath a baseball cap while out running errands. She opted for casual chic, wearing an oversized khaki sweater dress, knee-high tan boots, and a roomy shoulder bag. Mendes is currently in London as her husband, Ryan Gosling, begins filming his latest project, Star Wars: Starfighter.
The couple’s stay in the UK places them at the center of the entertainment spotlight. Gosling’s film, set five years after The Rise of Skywalker, will feature an all-new cast and story, offering fans a fresh chapter in the Star Wars saga. The standalone movie is slated to hit theaters on May 28, 2027.
Mendes’s last public appearance was in March, when she marked her 51st birthday by fronting a campaign for designer Stella McCartney. At the time, she stunned in a sheer black dress with a daring slit, admitting she had “never felt sexier” in the designer’s creations. She also revealed she skipped Paris Fashion Week to celebrate privately with her family, underscoring her preference for a low-profile lifestyle.
The actress, mom to two daughters—Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8—has been refreshingly open about her perspective on aging. Mendes has embraced non-permanent treatments like Botox, praising their flexibility, and expressed support for cosmetic surgery, noting she has no regrets experimenting with enhancements.
Mendes and Gosling first crossed paths in 2011 on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines, where their on-screen romance blossomed into a real-life relationship. Since then, the couple has largely chosen to live away from the constant glare of the spotlight, making Mendes’s recent outing a rare and exciting moment for fans.
