She is beautiful. But the dress? The editors have their say after the jump.

Lisa Timmons: I think that when you’re as stunningly beautiful as Eva Mendes, you tend to start wondering, “Is it me? Or is it my clothes?” And what you do is test that theory by going out and buying a strange, distracting outfit in order to find out. Eva is testing us, y’all.

J. Harvey: That’s like a Barbie dress. Don’t get me wrong, it’s hot Barbie dress, but a Barbie dress all the same. The material is designed to make six year old girls’ eyes go wide. I wouldn’t be shocked if it had Velcro fasteners, and you really had to tug to get it over her plastic lumps because Barbie dresses always seemed to be a pain in the ass to get on the bitch. What? Yeah, I have Barbie experience. F*ck you!

Cara Harrington: This one actually interests me. She had me with the dress. It’s not hideous by any means. But the age old adage “It’s all in how you accessorize,” didn’t work for her. It’s like she missed the boat on putting the look together properly. Each piece would look great on her separately, but all together it just doesn’t mesh. The boots aren’t my favorite. They are a little too Salem witch hunt for me.
